At least 2 dead, more injured at Boston Marathon.
Bombs.
Jogging bad for your health
27,000 runners and they blow up the finish line 5 hours after the winners have come through?
I think this was a "message' or these were the stupidest terrorists in history.

Hey, NASA and the ESA fucked up forgetting to convert between English and metric. It's conceivable some dude just forgot to adjust the timer for the time zone difference. Remember the dude who couldn't blow up his shoe? Remember the other dude who couldn't blow up his undies? People are fucking stupid.

The Saudi national they had as a person of interest was simply a spectator that some people in the crowd detained. Must be an awesome feeling to know that if a terrorist attack goes down you're a suspect just because of the way you look.
Meanwhile, the feds raided an apartment is Boston last night in relation to the bombing. They're moving pretty damn quick.
Obviously, this was pulled off by amateurs, but what's going to be their agenda? Hatred for the government? A simple attempt at fame via mass murder? They despise physically fit people (or based on the time of the bombing, charities)?
Place your bets.

Other 2 bombs turned out to be just someones stuff they detonated. Bummer if that was your Ipad and case, i guess?
Eh, it's their fault for leaving their stuff behind.

United States government officials stated that there had been no intelligence reports that indicated such a bombing would take place. Representative Peter King, member of the Intelligence Committee, was quoted as saying, "I received two top secret briefings last week on the current threat levels in the United States, and there was no evidence of this at all."
Good to know the DHS, FBI, CIA, NSA, and all the other gov't agencies are spending their budget allotments effectively and wiping their ass on the Bill of Rights with proper justification. You know, because they need all that shit to protect us.

It's not me, it's someone else.
I just watched that episode during the last week.
Members of the religion of peace and tolerance celebrate the bombing in Boston.

The longer this goes on unclaimed, the more it makes me think it was domestic. Some crazy ass dude.
Even local psychos have agendas. It'd be weird if shit blew up with no demands, manifesto, motive, etc.

Kind of annoyed seeing Seth cave to political correctness or sensitivity, but I can sort of get why, even if I equate it with circumstantial censorship.
A government/homeland security setup occured to me, but not in any serious way.
I think you overestimate their competence.

Seth didn't cave. He had nothing to do with pulling it, and he's either from that area or has a great fondness for it since Family Guy is set there, and has featured all the big landmarks, pro sports teams, etc.
Fox pulled the episode, and quite honestly, it's a fair move for now. A permanent ban on airing it, and excluding it from DVD release would be stupid and overboard. I've got no problem with them protecting both their own image, and anyone who might find reliving the event traumatic.
I don't consider any of that censorship.
Censorship was Comedy Central not airing the South park episode that featured Muhammend or Allah or whatever, while airing episodes featuring Jesus, Budda, and all other deities.
Censorship was Showtime removing the Catholism episode of Bullshit from the DVD release because it pissed off Catholics.
