Interestingly enough, it was parked outside Viacom, where they product offensive garbage like South Park and MTV.

It it was a Muslim who did this (it usually is), they're probably mad about some Mohammed jokes on a cartoon. As we saw with the rioting and murders all over Europe a few years ago, a simple comic strip can send millions of them them into riots and killing sprees.

Ahem...

Pakistani Taliban Claims Responsibility

I find Fox News much more offensive than MTV personally.

MSN posted it, but it wasn't a main headline when I first saw it.

Re: The "almost" Times Square Bomb

As someone who is in Times Square a lot, and whose wife passes by there almost every day...this is scary stuff. I'm glad nothing happened and I hope the suspect is caught soon

If you work anywhere near any major city you are not safe. I almost want to say places like Times Square may even be a bit safer, have to think there is add security there.

The person probaly have more luck in a less of a "hot spot" area.

Well he got the truck into the time square and if he had built a better bomb the results would not have been good. Time Square is not safer because they cannot serch ever veh. that enters the city so its only a matter of time until someone pulls in with a truck blows the hell out of a place like time sq.

What's wrong with the world when people want to kill someone over a cartoon?

Luckily nobody was hurt. Could only imagine the destruction there would've been if that bomb had detonated.

Im offended that yahoo wanted me to watch an ad prior to seeing the video. I mean cant they employ some discretion when putting ads on videos. Cute puppy dogs dressed up in Halloween customs (Ad - yes). Nationwide man hunt for terror suspect (Ad - no).

Thats how they can offer the news and the online services for free. I'm sure they offer a pay service if you don't want to watch the comercials.

Re: The "almost" Times Square Bomb

that's a weird thing to get offended to. So when you buy a newspaper you don't want ads in the A section, or when you watch the 10 oclock news they shouldn't put teasers before ads?

That is going to be a popular link, hence good ad space. (not as good as a truck though)
