Sadly, you are correct.ZombieGenesis said:
A good beating is what some of these crazy kids need these days.
I am joking (partly). Parents could just do their jobs and not try to be friends with their children. When a child starts a bomb scare, I am willing to wager that he acted up (in other ways) at home and the parents did nothing. There is no discipline in the majority of children today (excluding home schooled kids, they are responsible young adults. And occasionally a child whose parents still punished them for doing wrong).
That quote is accurate, sadly. Back in 07' a "underground advertising firm" (or as I call them a waste of money) put up signs on random spots in Boston, some locations would have been good for placing bombs like bridges. People who did not know what the character was thought that it was a bomb because "No one in there right minds would put that there unless it was a statement". Which was true but a statement meant to say you should watch a TV show.lacktheknack said:Encyclopedia Dramatica? I'm not clicking that or anything close to it.

Batteries and wires are grounds for bombs now...sigh.
In the end, it was a bad publicity stunt that got attention that was not intended. Moral is people will overreact to anything with batteries and wires.
*hugs original Game Boy*
Don't worry..you'll never become a bomb...they'll go nowhere near my precious.

"The bomb squad destroyed the device"
WHAT?! They destroyed a perfectly good old fashioned gameboy?? Those things are becoming rare and they just broke one on purpose. Mine barely works now and the screen is slightly crooked.

... WHY?
What possible advantage could the kid get out of this? This makes no fucking sense to me, can somebody explain it to me?
I feel far more sorry for the Gameboy than the kid. Can he be used to play Tetris and Pokemon? No, so clearly the boy should've had the worser punishment, society sickens me thesedays...

this is the reason children need to be beaten by their parents again, this shit would not have happened a decade or two ago when the prevailing powers weren't the granola munching think of the children blanket boring brigade
Reminds me of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force viral marketing bomb scare. Remember a LED attached to a battery qualifies as a serious explosive device.
I mourn the loss of the Gameboy. I must admit, if there was anything that was going to destroy those things it was going to be a bomb squad. But what is it today with kids enciting bomb scares and the like, in my day we didn't have that. I like to think we had a little something called "respect" but with kids being mollycoddled because "they are the future" it does make sense that they thought that they could get away with inciting a bomb scare.
OH I remember the story about my older brother asking my grandmother for a gameboy and what did he get? Playboy. Oh there was some tears shed after that moment.
Sorry if that sounded cross, but considering there's always a very real possibility not only the person defusing but also everyone else in the blast radius will die if the diffuser fails than erring on the side of caution makes alot of sense. ESPECIALLY as your job as a EOD or some thing like that, you see at least one bomb a week if not more. Who the fuck would want that job?ShaggyEdiddy214 said:
