This reminds me so much of an awesome 30 Rock episode where Fred Armisen plays the middle eastern neighbor of Tina Fey's character. She ultimately gets him turned in for planning an attack, when he was just preparing for The Amazing Race with his friend.

Its sad how sensationalist and afraid we have become.




I think "cautious" is a better word. What aspect of this story was sensationalist?


The part where a game design document on a whiteboard resulted in referral to the police?

I think "cautious" is white-washing of the highest caliber.


I prefer "gibbering bongo full-goose paranoia".


Avoiding the rough part of town at night is cautious. Turning in a neighbor for basically nothing is sensationalist.
