Don't Be Mad Boston...

So I know I'm in the state of Massachuetts and everyone that lives on the east side of this state claims to be "from Boston" so before posting this blog I'd like to say that I actually have no opinion on this one...aside from the fact that I did have quite a giggle when reading this post on Wonkette.com

You know those traffic-counting gizmos that city workers string across streets to figure out how many vehicles are passing? Well, the brave anti-terrorism officials of Boston most certainly do not know of these common devices — so they shut down the city today, again, and blew up the traffic counter. You know, the traffic counter the City of Boston was paying for ….


Keep in mind this is the SECOND time these officials have blown up an object in the city mistaken for some sort of terrorist device...remember Aqua Team Hunger Force?
Some of the comments on the page are a little offensive to Bostonians

Boston. Henceforth to be referred to as "America's Stupidest City." At least until somebody comes along to challenge them for the title, and it'll be damned hard to beat this.


This one is one of my favorites and actually comes from a Bostonian...

As a proud ex-Bostonian... wasn't the birth of the American Revolution all about just blowin' shit up? Or just dumping it in the ocean while dressed up like the Village People?


I have to poke some fun I mean they blew up a device owned by their own city?!
Maybe...just maybe the anti-terriorist forces in Boston are being a little too careful...

What do you think? Should they be taking such precautions? Are they WAY too paranoid? Or maybe they really are just a bunch of idiots that should start to wear Village People Outfits?
