Is this actually a joke? Because I don't think even americans would act like that (no offense guys). But that is slightly crazy. Why not even just try and look it up online to see if it was a toy? Pretty damn funny though.

Now they might have taken it a bit too far what with cordoning the whole area off and getting a bomb squad, but I do think othat it was good that they acted with suspicion. It isn't normal for a small toy robot to be cemented into the pillar. I'm glad to see that they at least realized that this could have been a clever way to hide a bomb.

So to fight the robots we're going to use a giant robot? Why does that seem like a bad idea to me?

You fight fire with fire, so why not fight explosion with explosion?

I'll volunteer! I can be angsty, emo, cold and quiet, whatever you want. I'll even flip chairs and choke a female friend randomly!
Will you do inappropriate things while a female friend is in a coma? If so, you're our man.

Am I really the first to comment on the fact that A TOY ROBOT WAS CEMENTED TO THE PILLAR!? Like, how long was it there? No one noticed until recently? WTF?

Shows you the level of moronic paranoia in America today. First the Adult Swim PR problems with a little neon Err sign, and now this. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that this robot was just a plushie.

Good to know that the people being paid with our tax dollars are completely out of the loop with modern society and have no common sense.
As I said, disguising explosives as toys and other foreign objects is an unfortunately real occurrence. The idea behind that of course being that you can get someone (apparently normally a child) to pick it up so you can kill them with it. I wouldn't say it's being 'out of the loop' or 'paranoid' so much as 'knowing a fuck of a lot more about bombing than people who only ever see videogame violence'.
Yeah but...in Denver?

Seriously, there has to be a better, easier way to find out whether something is dangerous than by just assuming it is and blowing it up.
That's what I thought. What if it had uranium in if, regardless of how slim the possibility is?

Man, US police is really paranoid. Coming from a country in which bomb squads sometimes have to detonate... you know, actual *bombs*, this feels like overkill.
Well, it's a tactic used by bomb squads around the world so I really don't see your point.
