Airports Aren’t Laughing At Your Twitter Terrorism Jokes
It used to be that screaming “I’ve got a bomb” at the airport was the best way to get arrested. Now, thanks to the digital age, all you have to do is Twitter jokes about bombs. Everything’s so much easier now.
In Northern England this week, a frustrated man – delayed at the airport due to snow – was arrested for sending this tweet:
“Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You’ve got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high!!”
When police arrested the man, they interrogated him for 7 hours. Apparently, they didn’t think it was a funny line, even with the two exclamation points and the use of Strong Bad’s favorite expletive.
Still, in terms of ridiculous jokes being misconstrued as bomb threats, they do it best on the moon:
…where they tweet about smoking as they shoot the bird.
