A recent Arizona news story has gained some national
attention, but not for reasons you might think.

Funny or Die
named
a
recent Phoenix news channel feed’s caption as one of the
17
funniest descriptions of interview subjects the news has
ever broadcast.

The broadcast had a photo of a flashlight lying in the
street near 3rd Avenue and Jefferson, with the caption
“SUSPICIOUS FLASHLIGHT.”

Flashlights have had the Valley on edge after three
different flashlights with explosives inside of them
detonated when turned on. Many scares have turned out to
be
just ordinary flashlights, but police warn everyone to not
take any chances.

The story has also received attention from a
Tosh.0 blog
, with the caption “NOBODY MOVE IT
MIGHT
HAVE A GUN.”

We want to hear from you.
