$250M security just for show?

I am amazed at how crazy one can be just to have your face on the TV screen. Comedians stop for nothing, it seems. Even the risk of getting shot by snipers - who mean business - according to Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione:

"I'm angry, I'm very angry that this stunt happened, it was a very dangerous stunt. The reality is ... (they) put security services in a position where they might have had to take an action no-one would want. We have snipers deployed around the city. They weren't there for show, they mean business, that's what they were there for." it was reported in the Daily Telegraph.

I suspect he is more angry about the fact that his show was called as what is was - nothing but a showoff. A fraud. A $250M comedy, one may say.

It sure raises the question - if a motorcade is not even checked and verified upon before it reaches the final destination, one should be very happy that it was a comedian dressed up like Osama Bin Laden that stepped out of the car - and not his suicidal crews.

Poor Andrew Scipione. I suspect you will not be running such a show again any time soon.
