** EDS NOTE: POSSIBLE OBSCENE GESTURE ** This photo provided by Todd Vanderlin shows an electronic device that was removed from where it had been hanging beneath an overpass in Boston, Monday Jan. 15, 2007. The device consists of light emitting diodes on a circuit board forming the shape of a gesturing character which is part of a promotion for the TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," a surreal series about a talking milkshake, a box of fries and a meatball, according to Turner Broadcasting, a division of Time Warner Inc. and parent of Cartoon Network. Other similar devices, planted at bridges and other spots in Boston threw a scare into the city Wednesday Jan. 31, 2007 in what turned out to be a publicity campaign for the late-night cable cartoon. Highways, bridges and a section of the Charles River were shut down and bomb squads were sent in before authorities declared the devices were harmless.

By looking at it, I can tell that only a fool or total idiot might think that it is a bomb. It looks like it consists of a circuit board, some LEDs, a few batteries, a capacitor, some resistors, and some wire. I don't see anything that even closely resembles an explosive device. Boston is obviously overrun with idiots, many of whom hold positions in government. Mayor Thomas 'mumbles' Menino and Assistant Attorney General John Grossman come to mind, as well as probably most of the Boston Police Department and the judge who ruled in the case.
