    That has to be the shittiest bomb I've ever seen. All the footage of scrap bombs in Iraq/Afghanistan, all the homemade pipe bombs on police seizure posts, every video game and cartoon I can think of. They clearly gathered everything in the house that seemed explosive, everything under the sink that seemed adhesive, and picked the nearest writing surface out of the trash. They have no fundamental idea of how a bomb works and they're trying to invent one with the same strategy as the apes in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

        In a waking stupor I might have just removed it from the car without recognising it was supposed to be a bomb

          de-visual-calculus Taped to your car is a random assemblage of trash and debris. It has the lopsided minimalist appearance of an undergrad art project, perhaps assembled in the night by a drunken art student attempting to make a statement.

          de-inland-empire Try as you might, you can't seem to puzzle out what that statement may be. Maybe it's a piece about pollution, or commodity fetishism?

          de-volition Whatever it is, you'll probably be pulled over if you try to drive with it on your car. Best to take it down.

          Like at least take apart an old clock radio or glue some wires to a nokia.

        I started picturing the actual process of this guy angrily throwing this together and it's chefs-kiss. Like as funny as this is to look at, think about the fact that someone actually had to build this, step by step, and at the end of the whole thing looked down at the doohickn't on their kitchen table and said "yep, that looks good". I need to meet this person, get their opinion on some things, maybe ask them for their credit card information.
