I believe the remote was the MX-3000. He was just going to hit the icon button labeled "Destroy Brisbane".

@gadgetfanatic: When I posted my first comment Gizmodo said it happened in Canberra, not Brisbane. That's why I compared it to Washington D.C. Both are national capitals.

ROFLMFAOAOTH (actually, I think I got lost a little bit on that one; rolling on the floor laughing my ass off all over the house, ok add: BIJFEH. because I just find everything hilarious. Can you just do that? Is it internet-legal to add a paragraph of text? Ok, I'm just inviting someone to say YAAAH. (yes, I probably sound like one but really, I'm not. and I apologize).Sorry for even going there...

this is dumber than that time it got really cold here in the south and our heater was broken, so I tried to warm myself up by microwave, but since I couldn't fit in the microwave I was gonna put myself in some water (the tub) and then put the microwave in the water (tub) with me and the warm the water (tub) with me in it (water). Needless to say my mother still won't let me out of her site to this day (which gets kinda creepy at night)

Not trying to audition to comment here, but it wasn't Canberra he was threatening to blow up, but Brisbane, Australia. Sorry, couldn't see any other way to let you know!

@vr4z06gt: Try that in Washington D.C. and see what result you get, or any other major capital for that matter. I'm sure the reaction would be no less severe.
