So what IS a hoax really?

Recent news has shown us what is being called a "bomb hoax" when really it crossed the line of hoaxing and went into all out criminality. Here's the basic rundown; some prick strapped a collar bomb to a chick and she sat around for 21 hours while bomb defuzing teams tried to figure out what the fuck to do.
Fastforward to now and we find the man who did this in America. He is promptly arrested and put before a judge in Kentucky who will hold him until October this year when he will be extradicted back to Sydney where he will most likely be killed by the first crim that sees him (hell, I would).
So there's the good news. The bad news is that the media are constantly calling this action a "bomb hoax". Hoax is entirely the wrong terminology for this kind of crime. A hoax by definition is "something intended to decieve or defraud, to hoodwink, a deception via a practical joke, fraud, fake, humbug or joke". I guess I missed the part where causing emotional grief was included. Now let's try "sadism". Contrary to popular belief, sadism is not about sexual gratification through the inflicting of pain on others (although it does happen sometimes) but moreover a feeling of gratification from inflicting ANY suffering whether mental or physical on an innocent victim. Deriving a calm pleasure from the application of torture is a pretty fair description of this prick (in my opinion).
Example; most people who "hoax" others enjoy sitting back and watching the chaos it brings. You see, putting big footprints in the woods is all fun and games, but seeing the hopeless hunters and psi-analysts trencing through the cold woods muttering maybe's to each other and photographing trees is fuckin' hilarious. Pepole who "hoax" towns and their residents usually hide themselves in able to enjoy the carnage and silliness. Not so much for the sadist. A sadist may become so complacent with their torturous ways that they simply walk right into the hands of the law. I was once in my bedroom electrocuting my wife's genitals listening to her scream and beg. It never occured to me how this sounded from outside, so naturally I was visited by some very concerned police officers who demanded I confirm my wife's safety. Awash with the cries of ultimate suffering I got sloppy and my fun was stopped. Just like this bomb strapping fuckhead. He just walked right into custody. I think in the near future we will discover an elaborate lifestyle of uncaring selfishness, revealing the true motives of this arsehole, proving definitively that this was no "hoax" at all...
