If this was some kind of sick joke, I hope those fuckers get their asses kicked.

Isn't 'Boston Strong' tradmarked? I would have thought they needed permission before yelling that out.

Some yahoo at the finish line dropping a backpack full of 3 day old laundry and marbles ruffles your feathers, but the fact that an idea born on the lips of people in mourning, people looking for strength has been turned into a marketing device and most of its meaning has become static to the day to day operation of this country aside from a once a year event seems to be just fine with everyone.

How do you want your Boston Strong? Cell phone case, towel, coffee mug, mouse pad?

Can't we just pass a law to allow public beat downs.

Holy shit it's been a whole year already.

So I read the title and chuckled a bit. Ok, admittedly, partially because I'm a sick fuck and already knew it was a hoax so I didn't have reason to worry, but mostly because it's so predictable that some "lulz look at me" dumbass kid decided it would be funny to pull this "prank."
