Police blow up foul-mouthed CDs that blared in church

[LadyT]

"Three CD players hidden under a cathedral's pews blared sexually explicit language in the middle of an Ash Wednesday Mass, leading a bomb squad to detonate two of the devices."

Clearly the bomb squad is bored out of their minds and want some work. I say send them to Iraq.

Limited brains have limited responses.

obviously, there are just a few details missing from this poorly written story.

Yeah, like the fact that it's pretty amusing. I've been to mass in that Basilica and it could use some livening up.

Wow, I never would have thought you would find such a disrespectful interruption of someone's worship to be a source of amusement. Am I misunderstanding something here?

Yes. Its called h-u-m-o-r.

 

[Damocles]

Wouldn't blowing them up cause even more interruption?

 

[uscitizen]

Which them Damo ? the boom boxes or the parishoners ?

exactly.

 

[Jarod]

The bomb squad needs training so they blow up anything that could possably be a bomb that is found under suspishous circumstances.

 

[uscitizen]

It is just a good thing they did not show up when Anna Smith collapsed....

 

[Jarod]

Maybe it would have been good had they been in that courtroom when Judge Sidlin started pontificating.

 

[uscitizen]

I don't really know, I am proud to have watched none of that.
but I assume you would have a bit of professional interest Jarod.

I watched very little, but I have a particular interest in Judge Sidlin!

 

[TRGLDTE]

Yes. Its called h-u-m-o-r.

Given the lack of knowing the exact words used on the tape, I equate this to a boom box blaring the word "Nigger!" during a worship service in a black church. Would that be h-u-m-o-r?

Now how can you come to that conclusion without knowing the exact words ?

Oh calm down. I was referring to Ornot's comment: it was h-u-m-o-r-o-u-s.

 

[TRGLDTE]

The words were described as profanity. Obviously, it was not Barney's "I love You" song but rather something designed to inspire fear. How does one come to the conclusion that it's humor?

 

[uscitizen]

I think so too, does Youtube have a video of the episode ?

"Yeah, like the fact that it's pretty amusing. I've been to mass in that Basilica and it could use some livening up."

Yeah... kind of like someone walking into an AA meeting and passing out free alcohol. THAT kind of funny.... I mean hey, they need to liven up a bit too.
