Boston Marathon Bib Fraud

All wearing headbands....just sayin'....

Good for them. Being creative.

Stop posting pictures of EVERYTHING you do in life and this wouldn't have been a problem.

I'm off to post about just taking a dump.

Gigantic security failure, BAA and their hired security team is to blame 100%.

haha. Does anyone serious think security can stop a runner from banditing a race?

Running a race as a bandit is one thing. I don't think anyone should do it, but it's not insidious. I've never done it, but I always imagine that part of the fun is that you could (rightfully) be chased down and stopped by the security at a race. At least if you're not wearing a number you're taking on the risk, and you won't be given a finisher's medal.

Printing out fake numbers as part of some half-assed conspiracy - in a year where a lot of people made concessions to comply with increased security - is another level of stupid. I think the BAA should sue every one of them for theft. Let the idiots spend some money on mommy and daddy's lawyer and see if it was worth it.

Does anyone seriously think humans can stop the temperature of the globe from increasing?

IT'S GLORIOUS!!!

All that bright red on the surface suggests you might have hemorrhoids or an anal fissure.

So they just need to find a former BC runner who worked at Heartbreak Hill Running Company.

I don't know why people try to get away with anything having to do with the internet. It takes about thirty seconds to figure out one guy. Now he just has to pee his pants and rat on the others.

Sing birdie!

here is a 2nd story, but this time, the bandit is the wife of the founder of Foursquare.

And the second singlet is from a charity associated with two former BC runners:

there's pictures of the bandits

any other race I wouldn't really care that much. But Boston...you should have to qualify for that.

(the charity thing I don't know how to process exactly)

Who gives a shit about all of this?
