I am sure we all remember the tragic day when the LED effigy of Ignignokt magically didn’t explode, but was still thought to be a bomb. Who would have ever thought that people in the US would be so dumb and ignorant to think that an LED lit up sign is a bomb.
But they did, in the end; I believe two men were charged with some dumbass charges because they somehow managed to declare the LED signs “hoax devices”. So, next time you have a company and you hire some people to do some advertising for you, might want to be careful, they might be considered terrorists.
Regardless, it will be a long time before I forget. So, just a reminder, this is the one year anniversary of that ever so tragic event.

Haha! Amazing. The War on Terror has left us stupidly paranoids. Is not that terrorists are common to use Lightbrites or Duracell batteries on their bombs? Or are they?

When you have a climate of fear, people are bound to react irrationally. Too bad for the poor schmucks owning the neon sign.
