The Bank of America Theater in Chicago, which stages the hit musical Jersey Boys, was evacuated late Tuesday after a bomb scare, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Two suspicious boxes were spotted behind the theater. No explosives were found inside of them. On each box was a note. One note said, “This is not going to end good.”
Clearly, the Chicago police are dealing with an English major.
The incident did end well. No one was hurt. Unfortunately, theatergoers Tuesday didn’t get a chance to find out how the Jersey Boys ends. (One of them dies.)
Sorry, spoiler alert.
Of course, the lesson here, besides don't plant fake bombs, is that verbs require adverbs, not adjectives. The note said "end good." The verb is "to end"; it requires the adverb "well."

Good list, tho a bit US-centric. The world is full of unmitigated PR gaffes; Renault's F1 race fixing; UK PM Gordon Brow...

Not that I ever care to go see Jersey Boys, but aren't you supposed to write "spoiler alert" before you actually spoil the ending? Way to go. By the way, there is no Santa Claus. Sorry, spoiler alert.

Sounds like one of the Jersey Boys wrote the note. I saw the whole show in another city.

Desperate English majors aren't pretty.
(You might want to fix this sentence: "No explosive were found inside of them.")
