Elmo gets it.
Earlier today Joe Eskenazi encouraged transparency and openness from all of San Francisco's would-be killers. He was kidding and all, but later in the day, we noticed that at least one guy may have actually read our blog and followed Eskenazi's advice. 

That would be Gerardo Kelly, a 57-year-old who placed three phone calls to San Francisco police station to inform them of his murder plans. According to news reports, he told police he intended to put a bomb in the South San Francisco police station and kill the officers one by one.

Officers were promptly dispatched to Kelly's home, where he was arrested for terrorist threats and threats on a police officer. Hooray for honesty!

Nice try. However, the police station dude called the South San Francisco police station, and he did it on Monday, two days before Joe Eskenazi's joking plea for "openness and transparency."

Good work, Vance. You caught me.

But here's the thing: I didn't actually think Kelly saw Joe's blog or called a bomb threat because of it. (I mean, seriously, what are the chances?) And because the blog was meant to be ridiculous, I didn't pay any attention to the dates.
