This Blog is a Pipe Bomb
I'm finally back from spring break vacation and time to get back into the swing of things. First thing's first, something happened in Athens just a few days before the end of the winter quarter that simply must be let known, and if I know MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, CNBC, and all the rest of the 24/7 news channels they'll check with Horrible People first.
Ohio University was on high alert on the morning of March 2nd. A bike with the label 'This Bike is a Pipe Bomb' was found outside a local restaurant called the Oasis. The school closed off four buildings, police blocked streets around the Oasis restaurant, the fire department brought in off-duty firefighters, and the Columbus fire department's bomb squad was called in. The bomb experts attacked the bike with a high-pressure spray of water, then pried it open with a hydraulic tool and found no bomb inside.
Ready for the punch line? 'This Bike is a Pipe Bomb' is a band based in Pensacola, Florida.
There are several levels to the stupidity of this. First, the guy who put the sticker on should have had enough common sense that the combination of a 'This Bike is a Pipe Bomb' sticker attatched to a bike might raise some question.But the reaction of the police and authorities, who arrested and charged the student to which the bicycle belonged, where ridiculous. C'mon, a factory made sticker that says 'This Bike is a Pipe Bomb'? Terrorists are not getting into brand recognition. "This attack was brought to you by Hamas." Idiots.
Now everybody stand back, this post is going to self destruct in about ten secoBAM!
