Nothing like all the d-bag news outlets giving the suspect a heads up that they're coming for him.

OMG first this was done a month before the event happened. 2nd if you watched the actual episode you'd know that this is doctored and spliced together 2 non related events to make it look like what happened in real life.

The part where he ran over the runners was just one of the funny side skits they do. The bombing part was more related to how he befriended terrorists and didn't know it. He was loving the middle east life style and then they had him do some terrorist things like blowing up a bridge. He didnt realize that every time he dialed a number on the phone they gave it set off a bomb.

Lastly once he figured out they were terrorists he contacted the fbi who set him up as an informant with a wire to gather more intelligence. That is when they found out he was an informant and made him blow up the bridge, he fought and saved the bridge...until he accidentally dialed out on the phone again and blew it up...

Nothing to do with what happened this week........

The federal courthouse next door (where a suspect would most likely be arraigned) has been emptied due to a reported bomb scare. This is crazy.

If any Boston/Worcester area beer fans are around, Jack's Abby is hosting a beer/fundraising event today. Some places have donated some really good and in some cases, really rare beer.

You will have to go back to the article that I originally commented on. They reported 12 deaths and that they ID'ed the suspect.

oh ok


i blame that on sloppy reporting because everyone is trying to scoop everyone


the media should be focusing not on getting the news out FIRST but instead on getting the news out accurately

Exactly. I've seen both episodes. Funny in their own right. Posting it was in poor taste. Period.
