bomb scare

After the whole "crotch bomber" thing, bomb scares can come from anywhere… even out your ass!

That's literally what happened in South Lake Tahoe, California where a traffic stop led to a drug arrest which eventually led to a police station evacuation.

That's because an on/off switch led to a wire that eventually led down the suspect's pants.

Um, maybe you just want to check this story out for yourself.  Spoiler alert: The police thought a sex toy was a bomb.

You know there had to be one officer who knew exactly what that thing was but just decided to keep his mouth shut.  Better to not be the guy saying, "That's not a bomb.  That's just the ButtBlaster3000."

Also, how long do you have to look at the guy in the mugshots above before you realize he'd be in possession of a "personal pleasure device."

If you do check out the video, make sure to note how much "pleasure" this reporter seems to be taking in handling that device himself.

Over the weekend, as you've probably heard, there was a bomb scare in Times Square, forcing an evacuation of one of the busiest blocks in the world.

The web has been spreading the above picture of the completely empty square — definitely a rare sight.

I don't necessarily want to make light of a potentially deadly situation, but you have to wonder where all the tourists went while Times Square was shut down.  Rockefeller Center must have been a total clusterfuck.  And every McDonald's and Starbucks in Manhattan must have been filled to capacity.

No one was hurt, but some waiters at the Times Square location of T.G.I. Friday's were really pissed off.  That's, like, their busiest time.
