Can't stop laughing at this, then this section of a CNN article really tore me up...

Quote:
Judge Paul K. Leary told Grossman that, according to law, the suspects must intend to create a panic to be charged with placing hoax devices. (Watch a Web video of men placing the light boards on structures around Boston Video)
It appears the suspects had no such intent, the judge said, but the question should be discussed in a later hearing.
Peter Berdovsky and Sean Stevens were released on $2,500 bail, said Mike Rich, their attorney. The next pre-trial hearing is scheduled for March 7.
Both men were cooperative with authorities, and neither has a previous criminal record in Massachusetts, Grossman said.
In a news conference, Rich told reporters he had advised his clients not to discuss the incident. Stevens and Berdovsky took the podium and said they were taking questions only about haircuts in the 1970s.
When a reporter accused them of not taking the situation seriously, Stevens responded, "We're taking it very seriously." Asked another question about the case, Stevens reiterated they were answering questions only about hair and accused the reporter of not taking him and Berdovsky seriously.
Reporters did not relent and as they continued, Berdovsky disregarded their queries, saying, "That's not a hair question. I'm sorry."

So, they won't get caught on anything. They don't meet the requirement of intending to cause panic. Sounds like they have a judge with a brain in his head. I hope they spank the DA for being such a moron as to actually prosecute these guys. It was part of a national multi-city ad campaign, not a freakin' bomb hoax. That moron.
Also: somewhere, a marketing guy for Cartoon Network just got a fat raise and a promotion. So much free press... priceless.
The who, what, and where:
And yes, those are dreadlocks on a white guy- pretty long ones, too, from another pic I saw. lol
