Police blow up foul-mouthed CDs that blared in churchSANTA FE, New Mexico (AP) -- Three CD players hidden under a cathedral's pews blared sexually explicit language in the middle of an Ash Wednesday Mass, leading a bomb squad to detonate two of the devices.Authorities determined the music players were not dangerous and kept the third one to check it for clues, said police Capt. Gary Johnson.The CD players, duct-taped to the bottoms of the pews, were set to turn on in the middle of noon Mass on Wednesday at the Roman Catholic Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.The recordings, made on store-bought blank discs, featured people using foul language and "pornographic messages," Johnson said. He would not elaborate because of the ongoing investigation.Church staff members took the CD players to the basement and called police, who sent the bomb squad, Johnson said.The bomb squad blew up two players outside and kept the third one to test for fingerprints or DNA and trace its components, he said.Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, which marks a 40-day period of fasting and penitence before Easter.

  • i like that they didn't bomb the 3rd disc specifically for fingerprint/DNA purposes

    i don't get it, they blew them up for no reason, or was it an explosive device as well?

    (see PronHop thread for the possible CD-R Comp options.)

    Thats a GREAT prank! I hope those kids don't get caught. And if they do, I hope they don't get into any trouble.

    Better hope they got the one smeared with DNA and fingerprints. Funny stuff.

    When my car was broken into, my wife & I got a rookie who had a serious boner for DNA. He swabbed the steering wheel, doors, trunk, whatever else with some unsterile qtips and put them into..... an old paper bag that was used to store one of their lunches. To say nothing of the fact that it's really unlikely they could even pick up DNA from the car, unless the sneaky honda thief sweated profusely or bled on it.

    We weren't waiting by the phone for the lab results from dr. policeman...
