Gotta love Faux News staying with this for four minutes!
When do we get some good housing crash schnanigans?
Enjoy the video, and this one of the "terror spree" being set up,
And enjoy the brief break from the housing bubble for a good laugh.
A time capsule of the greatest financial mania in the history of mankind, told in real-time by regular folks and patriots. May future generations better understand the madness of crowds, and how power and money corrupt.

Hoax suspects laugh it off after arraignment

Two “starving artists” whose moronic Mooninite masterpieces brought Boston to a standstill yesterday were promised only $300 apiece by a guerilla marketing firm for a stunt that will cost taxpayers nearly $1 million.
Peter Berdovsky, 27, of Arlington and Sean Stevens, 28, of Charlestown - who this morning had to scratch up $2,500 cash bail each for possession of a hoax device and disorderly conduct - haven’t even been paid by Interference Inc., according to a close friend.
[Cambridge blog: No joke, cartoon producers will pay]
Their new fans turned out in droves this morning at the Charlestown Division of Boston Municipal Court to see the suddenly infamous pair plead not guilty to their alleged roles in a national cartoon marketing compaign responded to by police as a well-executed terrorist plot.
Even post-arrest, the whole affair seemed to be of great amusement to Berdovsky and Stevens. They giggled and laughed out loud as assistant Attorney General John Grossman, chief of high technology and computer crimes, described for Judge Paul K. Leary the light-emitting diodes fashioned to resemble an offensive Mooninite from the Cartoon Network’s TV show - and upcoming major motion picture - “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.”
The Cartoon Network is owned by Turner Broadcasting, a Time Warner company.
Crystal Huff, 27, a friend of Stevens’ who sat in the courtroom crocheting, sniffed, “Turner has gotten what they want and now they’re going to leave Sean out to dry. These are starving artists. They got a pittance for all this.”
Berdovsky, a Belarus immigrant who reportedly has political asylum, came to court in long dreadlocks, red sox and sandals. Attorney Michael Rich, the de facto foster father with whom he has lived, represented both men, who appeared in shackles.
Stevens claims to be a self-employed computer consultant and Berdovsky, a freelance artist.
“They didn’t want to cause widespread panic,” Rich said. “Their intent was to reach out to their potential audience. They were shocked at the public fear and the police response.”
Neither had criminal records until now.

Thank god for the internet, otherwise I would have missed this story over here.
Or maybe not. I think Europeans will laugh and laugh once they see this. America has lots its mind, thank you Osama.
I hope Cheney doesn't water board those two guys
Because you know he can...
CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez dismissed Washington's concerns that Venezuela's democracy is under threat, saying a "dictatorship" led by President Bush poses a true threat to democracy around the world.
Condemning the war in Iraq, the Venezuelan leader said that Bush and John Negroponte, a former director of national intelligence who is designated for the No. 2 position in the State Department, should be tried for "war crimes" committed by the U.S. military across the globe.
"The two of them are criminals. They should be tried and thrown in prison for the rest of their days," Chavez told a news conference.
I watch that show all the time on cartoon network. Hiliarious stuff, especially their landlord "Carl". The public reaction...typical. Everyone in America is afraid of their own shadow now. How this thing could be confused for a bomb is beyond me. Come on America, grow some testicles and act like men for a change you effeminate pansies. If Osama is still alive I bet he is laughing his ass off at our overreaction to every little thing. They wanted to destroy America. I think they may have been successful.
JAFO
these guys are more articulate than Senator Robert Byrd.
Who gives a rat's ass what Hugo Chavez says? His legislature just granted him dictatorial powers. It reminds me of Hitler and the Nazis. He is shutting down newspapers and TV stations that broadcast anything critical of him or his party.
I bet Bush told the Boston police and mayor to overreact. It's all Bush and Faux News' fault. Oh my now the Europeans will think lowly of us Americans. What are we to do now? Woe is me. Woe is me!!!
I think Cheney will disembowel those two guys. He can do that, you know
Faux News started this entire hoax. This really didn't even happen. We all know Faux News makes up everything. When they show a George Bush interview, it really isn't even Bush. It's an impostor.

Those guys must have learned how deflect tough questions from GWB.
The best part of this whole thing is that it took them 2 - 3 weeks to realise they were there... I get an anal probe everytime I get near an airport, but these things were sitting for weeks.
So was this really a big story in the US? Seriously, one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time
Boston cops and leaders are dumber than I ever thougth possible. And Faux News is too funny. 9/11 was one thing. Putting up lite-brites and getting arrested for it? Oh, man...
I hope these two guys get a TV show though. I'd watch.
There is no room for any new clowns and their shenanigans in Massachusetts. We already have Kennedy, Kerry, Menino and Patrick.
It made the news in NYC. All I have to say is the cops in Boston are idiots (I used to work for a police department for 9 years so I feel somewhat qualified to pass judgement). And unless they had overtime involved the police have no real basis in trying to recoup expenses. They often threaten to do that as they bring charges up.
We are all terroist by default - don't you know the "land of the free" is anything but. It's all newspeak via 1984 big brother.
boston's reaction = moronic
those too guys = morons
keith turning an overreaction by the most liberal city in the nation into a slam on cheney and fox news = most moronic.
This intelligence is so unprepared and out of touch. Last year, Wired magazine had an article about LED graphite, a new trend and art form. They even showed a bunch of kids throwing lighted up LEDs, with magnetic backing, that sticked to metal signs, trucks, panels, etc. It's a nice effect, BTW.

That's how government likes it, everybody on the edge, the boogeyman is gonna get you...whatta a bunch of naive puppets! It's McCarthyism all over again. Did you know that more people die in bathtub drownings per year in the US than by terrorism? Wake up, don't be a puppet!
We all know Faux News cooked this whole thing up with the help of Bush and cheney. They are all in a conspiracy to enslave renters.
Did you know more people die from alcohol intoxication in a year than are killed by gang members? Why make such a big deal out of gangs and have a police department and build all these prisons? The government is just making a boogeyman out of gangs to scare and control the sheeple.
