1. I got my kids those years ago
To think Homeland Security couldn't recognize their innocence is astounding. No contact with reality?

And they are supposed to be protecting this country? What a GW Bush joke.

3. My little brother has one of these, just like I did when I was little.
I just thought the only threat they posed was a choking hazard. LOL.

6. Wow, Do Duct Tape And Plastic Work Against Lite-Brites?
This administration just keeps on embarrassing us, in addition to their unspeakable horrors.

9. Nothing Works Against Our Superior 1970's Technology, Earth-man!
Now, give us all your posessions.

Don't get fresh with us, or we'll give you the finger!

7. Did Turner just resurrect Light Bright AND Adult Swim in one fell swoop?

10. Not a different perspective at all.
Note that this post was made after the day's festivities had ended and everything was in proper perspective. I would never think to blame anybody for being afraid of anything. If it panics you, it is real, and no amount of DU poo-poohing will ease that.

Having said that, you are indeed correct, this was finally a media event. A media company enabled it via a birdbrained publicity stunt, and our local media certainly milked it alllllll daaaaayyyy looooong. 2, no 4, no 7, no 10 "devices'!!

Turner was not early enough forthcoming in its information about the stunt, and our media (and possibly local government) did not give the 'all-clear' when they could have. And should have.

12. Thank Gawd For The Idiot In Command
who had the foresight to protect us from Lite-Brite. Who knows what tragedies could have arisen? Someone could have mistaken it for our pResident which might have caused them to freak out and lose control of their car and foster a deadly accident. Can't have that!

14. I love Adult Swim and Aqua Teen Hunger Force! I hope no one
