haha, this just goes to show then mentality of the people of the USA
“a bomb technician in a blast suit walk slowly toward the bear, then pounce and cut it open. ”
That is so violent!

I wonder how they’d respond to a electroluminescent wire based sign that simply said “THINK”

Hi everyone, this is a campaign from Greenpeace, to make people aware of the earth heating.

Actually, I think you *can* spell it “manikin” or “mannikin.”

So was the mannequin actually rummaging? Also, why would cops assume there was a bomb in it? Most importantly, did anyone videotape this hilarity?

I live in DC and that was in DC (you can see the Washington Examiner for the article on it as well). I actually find it quiet amusing that we are all so scared of the littlist things. A polar bear mannequin??? I wonder if the artisit or whomever put it there, did it just for that purpose. To make us realize that we over analyize and think everything is terrorist related….which actually the stuff we freak out about more often than not, is nothing at all.

Sure this wasn’t in Boston? They are experts at confusing unusual things for bombs.

I’ve never seen “mannequin” spelled like that. I learn something new here just about every day!

It was street art of course! And it conveyed a very alarming message, that polar bears are loosing their homes due to the melting of the arctic ice. Sad stuff really.

Bostonians can now breathe a sigh of relief as they’re not the only major city which has freaked out over nothing.
