Homemade Bomb or Ugly Craft Project?

Look out everyone, big brother is watching very very closely. A revolution is on the Horizon and the man is on high alert. Just take for example the cops in Portland, OR who mistook one of the ugliest art projects I’ve ever seen for an improvised explosive device. I can’t, for the life of me figure out how the cops thought this was anything other than bad hipster folk art. Have you ever been to Portland? It’s full of misguided crafters. If I saw a cardboard box with a stocking cap and some pipe cleaners, I would have to assume it was incapable of doing any damage. Since this is probably just the beginning of a new wave of panic that will sweep the country, one that will have everyone afraid of knitted mailbox covers, we’ve decided to show you a series of photos to help you determine what will explode in your face, and what will one day be displayed at a really awkward art opening…
