A happy end to a nail-biting standoff

For about 90 minutes last Friday the world watched with bated breath at a standoff in a bank in New Jersey, only to find that the "perpetrator" was a cardboard cutout of a man.

Incidentally, this incident is a good metaphor for the current state of society. Our current governments are constantly telling us to "look this way!" or "look over there!" so that they can keep our attention fixed on something unimportant rather than the things that are happening that really matter. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not sincere, and we promise never to misdirect your attention to cover up our own acts.
