The FBI Tries The Funny

The headlines are talking about this Wisconsin grocery clerk named Jake Brahm, who created the Internet hoax about terrorist attacks on NFL football stadiums this weekend.  It was a stupid thing for this kid to do, but it was definitely not funny.

Still, the FBI spokesman thought he’d try his hand at doing some comedy schtick:

"Jake Brahm’s unsportsmanlike conduct caused the United States to divert valuable resources from the real battle," Leslie Wiser, FBI special agent in charge Newark division, told a news conference. "This coming Sunday the NFL referees won’t be the only ones wearing stripes."

*rim shot*

Nice to know that the FBI is viewing terrorist threats as "unsportsmanlike conduct".  No wonder people don’t have a lot of faith in government.
