CapeCodTimes.com – Shortly before 5:10 p.m. Friday, a driver passing through the Bourne Rotary saw smoke rising from the former IHOP restaurant building and called state police.
Across four lanes of traffic leading up to the Bourne Bridge, troopers only needed to look out the windows of the state police barracks to see the smoke for themselves.
Within minutes, Bourne firefighters responded to find light smoke rising from the side of the building facing the rotary. But through the front door, Deputy Fire Chief David Pelonzi could see flames inside the building, which was under construction as part of Cape Cod Enterprises Inc.’s efforts to transform the site into its sixth Dunkin’ Donuts franchise in Bourne.
So we write a post about how awful of an idea the new Dunkin’ Donuts at The Bourne Rotary is and the very next day it’s engulfed in flames? I don’t know about you but… I SMELL A CONSPIRACY! Just like when the tanker tried to murder the Cape Cod bushes, we have compiled a list of suspects…
Suspect #1 – Our Mortal Enemies – Could it be somebody that hates The Real Cape burned it down to make us look like suspects? Maybe The Fun Police are tired of us calling them out? Maybe a gang of Piping Plovers did it because they are sick of us saying we want our beaches back? It might even have been some clairvoyant Sturgis person that knew I would write a few jokes about them that would make their heads explode? All I know is that it’s a good thing everyone here at The Real Cape has a rock solid alibi.
Suspect #2 – Wareham – I don’t even have a theory for this one, but Wareham is always a suspect… always.
Suspect #3 – Stan – Maybe we have a crazed fan like Stan in that Eminem song? He might be sending letters we aren’t returning and thinking this is the only way to get our attention? All I know is that my tea’s gone cold and I’m wondering why, I got out of bed at all…
Suspect #4 – The Wax Paper Company – They are probably pissed that Dunkin’ stopped giving out wax paper when you get a honey dipped, a coffee roll, or anything else sticky. Does Dunkin’ management not understand how awful it is to eat a sticky donut with paper napkins stuck all over it? I’ve had to resort to ripping up the bag and using it as wax paper like some kind of barbarian, JUST GIVE US THE WAX PAPER!
Suspect #5 – God Himself – This could just be another attempt to keep the heathens on the mainland away from his perfect creations on the chosen peninsula. This is just another step in his plan to isolate the center of the universe from the masses and create an advanced Utopian society on Cape Cod.
P.S. We probably shouldn’t rule out electrical fire quite yet either.

I hope they hit every other location on the Cape too. Fuck their nasty styrofoam double cup piss water bullshit.BUUUURN BABY BIRN!
This reporter does not need to insult the residents of Wareham . Shame on you.
It's not a reporter. This is a satirical blog/website, much like The Onion. Calm down town moderator.

its just a straight up terrible rag. they insult everyone constantly. except the police. they love them.
"It might even have been some clairvoyant Sturgis person that knew I would write a few jokes about them that would make their heads explode?". someone threatened by people who go to sturgis? saaaaaad
As someone from Wareham village, I take offense to that comment. Although I suppose it's ones opinion. The SouthCoast is booming, we have our own identity.
It was starbucks… to the Wareham people your off the hook for now…. FOR NOW…
I am from Wareham ,I hate dunkin donuts,I love starbucks (well I am a white women so that was probably unnecessary) I think i need to consult my lawyer (;
Nobody has pointed fingers at Marylou's, they'd be in my top 5 suspects.
This is a satire blog, not a news site. He is a blogger, not a reporter. Go somewhere else for news and while you're at it, work harder to make Wareham a better town and maybe people won't talk shit about it, because, as it stands, in my opinion, Wareham has a terrible reputation.
Finally, someone who has a sense of humor.
I'm sorry but "God's chosen peninsula" I hope everybody is aware the Cape I'd a man made island…that is all lol
Idk…I think I take offense to that. I'm from wareham, and I'm not pretending there are sketchy parts, but im in Bourne ALL the time for work, and I see absolutely no difference between the two towns. I've been scared in late night Bourne too many times to count. And guess what, Bourne is crawling with drug addiction! Open your eyes guys, it's everywhere.
Sorry, but wareham kinda deserves it.
