Here is the video of the Mooninite billboards that were placed around Boston that resulted in much of the city’s shutdown Wednesday. Apparently, the tiny billboards had been around for about a month but while lit up did not look like bombs. Then the batteries went out and were not replaced, leaving a circuit board looking contraption with wires hanging out of it. A Harvard scholar found one under a bridge and well, the rest is just embarrassing.

The person seen placing the Mooninite billboards around Boston was arrested for his role in leaving objects for their batteries to expire and allow a major US city to go into chaos involving hundreds of police, medical units and even the coast guard.

We were a bit surprised that this was not talked about on The Daily Show last night. Albeit, Stephen Colbert mentioned it and said he was upset because he could not promote his new Christmas special by stuffing envelopes with fake snow. Every comedy show should have mentioned this very unique and ridiculous event that took place because really, for a comedian, this fiasco was like a hanging curveball meant to be driven out of the park.
