Another bogus scare for Boston
Officials fear there is more to come

Just a few weeks after Boston survived a series of Lite Brite attacks, another scare has gripped the city. Several potentially threatening devices were found throughout Boston's subway with many of these devices going off and sickening thousands who came in contact.
The "devices" were disguised as posters of CNN talk show host Nancy Grace. Posters that were meant to promote her show "Nancy Grace Live." Yet authorities are still trying to figure out why the posters made people violently vomit.
"They look like ordinary posters," said Duke Halo, chief of the Boston bomb squad. "But we've discovered there's some kind of obnoxious fume emanating from them."
The first wave of vomiting took place at 7:15 am at the Boston College Station when about 20 people riding in a subway car simultaneously vomited after seeing the poster.
"It was horrible," said Jonie Cunningham who was later taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for severe dehydration and emotional trauma, "One moment I was sitting on the train digging my nose, and the next I glance at a poster of Nancy Grace and start throwing up. I thought I was going to wicked die."
Authorities estimate that cleaning up all the vomit, which is believed to equal the size of Maine, will take weeks, if not months. Meanwhile, Boston is suing CNN for damages as well as pain and suffering.
CNN professionally responded saying "Don't blame us, it was that self righteous loud mouth Nancy Grace's idea." When asked about the incident, Nancy Grace said "These harsh accusations that I am responsible for making Boston sick is hurtful and slanderous. I am a good natured woman who does not deserve this kind of harsh treatment."
She then went on the air and verbally assaulted a guest for asking her how she was doing.
Meanwhile, Boston has banned all pictures of Nancy Grace to enter its city.
"The city is really wicked pissed," said one official. "The last time we were this angry was when Buckner screwed up in the World Series. We forgave him, but we ain't forgiving that Nancy Grace for this wicked crap."
