kjpepperWe are greatly amused and mock your primitive culture that cannot grasp the complexities of our Mooninite humor
I can't decide whether to laugh, cry or be angry about this. There is a certain degree of humor to be found in the idea that an entire city can be spooked by a glorified Lite Brite, and it's quite a sad commentary on how paranoid we have had to become in the name of national security. (Anyone remember "This Bike is a Pipe Bomb?") Still, considering said cultural paranoia, this was a very dumb idea on the part of whatever marketing group spearheaded this and it's going to cost someone a hell of a lot of unexpected money.
Still... quite a culture jam.
Also in the news... "Harry Potter" gets naked in British production of Equus, teenagers worldwide (and a few adults who should probably be ashamed of themselves) collectively swoon. Meanwhile, announce date quietly released for seventh book and we all get to find out whether J.K. Rowling indeed decides that rocks fall and everyone dies, hopefully after resolving Snape's motives for pwning Dumbledore.
