Terrorist “person-of-interest” After a bomb scare at the Philadelphia Phillies’ ballpark, authorities pointed the finger at a fuzzy green suspect — The Phillie Phanatic.
Hours before the Phillies-Atlanta Braves’ game on Wednesday night, a film crew shot a commercial of the mascot shooting heavily wrapped hot dogs from a launcher.
But someone inadvertently left three of the duct taped hot dogs outside the ballpark, sparking security fears. Stadium employees were evacuated and the bomb squad was called in.
Only after the packages were blown up did authorities realize they’d just exploded some sausages.
The terrorists have won.
Well, maybe that’s another reason to refer to sausages as “bangers”…
Could have been worse..
“Hey Chief, I found it.. It’s just hot dogs. Yeah, a little bundle of hot dogs.. They’re red, though, and flat on the ends. And they have wire coming out of them, going to a little timer thingy.. But I’m sure they’re just hot do– “
Stop the world. I want to get off.
There’s nothing stupid about this. Better safe than sorry.
Funny! and Kudos to the bomb squad.
Runaway, runaway!
It’s spreading outside of Boston. Oh noes!
We should starting bombing Al-Quaeda with precision-guided bunker-busting ball park franks.
Well Duuh we are in bankruptcy proceedings…..yes Bin laden won.
be afraid, be very afraid…
When will the authorities learn that a real terrorist probably wont be dressed like Osama Bin Laden on his way to a mosque and probably wont leave bombs in packages that look like bomb packages.
I can accept the ‘better safe than sorry’ angle, but you gotta wonder if resources are being used wisely.
Oh Philly fanatic, What won’t you do to help stop the losing streak against the Braves
