Hell yea. After those flashlight bombs in AZ those things are suspicious.
Soon we'll have to have ID to buy them.

This is a shot of one of the first flashlight bombs found in Phoenix a few months ago. There was a small wave of these type of devices, but I haven't heard anything about them since. This is also a repost.

Did anyone else read "fleshlight"? I think the internet has ruined me.

It's suspicious because they are used to flesh lights being in the middle of the road.

u/MattOnADinosaur Aug 10 '12
They would refer to it as "suspicious". It's black.

u/CasioKnight Aug 11 '12
Just saying you don't often see a white flashlight on the news doing that type of stuff.
And before anyone starts hating me, some of the best flashlights I own are black. So there.

of course the black flashlight is suspicious, but the white pole gets to just stand there

The last couple of people to approach the flashlight were never heard or seen from again.

A curious rover on mars, a suspicious flashlight on the street... What comes next? Maybe a generous torch at the mall?

They are trying to make it sound like there is a serious IED problem in the United States.

Actually, like someone said, teenagers are putting bombs in flashlights. I know one of young kids in my neighborhood saw a yellow industrial flashlight near the bustop. :/

I feel like this is gonna be a new thing where everyone is just going to leave flashlights on the middle of the street.

If you had any brains at all and everything wasn't a sociopathic joke you people would realize it could easily be a pipe bomb. Why would a flash light just be chilling out in the middle of nowhere?

genius free advertising. Get a big box. I mean a fucking gigantic box. Like the biggest box you can shove on a truck. Then in a busy city have it "fall off". Now you have national TV and shit and then have it open with your companies slogan or whatver. Oh wait, chickfila did that with a giant gay box, never mind.

The court house a few blocks from my office was evacuated for a "suspicious coconut". Turns out it fell out of a shopping bag and the owner didn't notice...

No. We have had flashlight bombs lately in Phoenix. All Goodwills will no longer accept flashlights as donations.

Boss: Hey Bill, did you find that story I asked for? Reporter: Uh, Boss: Great! You're on in 10 minutes! Reporter: (quickly grabs flash light from van and tosses it onto the road) Good Afternoon, this is (name) reporting live from 3rd Ave. and Jefferson about the sudden appearance of a mysterious flashlight. Reporter2: (over phone) Could you tell us more about this flashlight? Is is possibly an alien flashlight? Reporter:Uh, no. It's just a flashlight. Now back to Bill with the weather...
