Boston Ad Prank Suspects Talk About ... Hair

Is being completely humorless a prerequisite of being a journalist everywhere, or only in Boston? I'm not saying it's the height of wit to talk about 70's haircuts when you've been charged with placing a hoax device - as if those blinking cartoon lights were actually intended to resemble bombs - but listen to the self-importance of the assembled press! They sound genuinely outraged that anyone should choose to ignore their questions, as if anyone accused of any crime, however footling, is obliged to talk about it in public. And it's sort of embarrassing how they keep hammering away even though it's perfectly clear the two men in question are going to stick to their hair guns. My personal favourite is the resentful accusation from one particularly doleful male reporter: "It sounds to Us (the Us clearly capitalised as we, the Incredibly Important Members of the Press) like you aren't taking this seriously, you want to talk about your hair instead." No shit.

Also, mistaking cartoon monsters for bombs makes you an idiot. Sorry.
