Aqua Teen scare in Boston.
SithMaster:
i wouldnt call it free exposure they have to pay the ad agency and now the city of boston and any other city for that matter that was involved.
i dont get the bridge thing either instead of near a sidewalk with a business that gets foot traffic. that and how they acted when arrested is bad on their part. laughing about being arrested, sure its for a silly reason but its still serious since your being charged.
edit-turner is paying 2 million in settlement.
Glaine:
Laugh it up, I was there when one of those pop-culture WMDs went off. I'm dead now and I can't laugh cuz it all sounds like I'm screaming though a steel pipe because I'm a ghost and thats how we sound.

They received half a billion dollars of exposure for that $2 million.

Seems like a good excuse to fire the entire boston law-enforcement division to me. I know the republicans made everybody paranoid of the invisible monster hiding in the closet, but the last thing we need is a city ran by trigger-happy paranoid types.
This promotion happened in at least 6 other major cities and none of them saw it as a terrorist threat. They saw it as some blinkly lights in the shape of a cartoon character, because, well that's what it was.

How many times does someone need to point out that only in Boston were they placed on Subway power stations and overpass bridge supports? Everywhere else they were put on storefront signs and light poles. That is the difference.
How many times does someone need to point out that in the same afternoon a disgruntled hospital employee planted (and reported himself) several fake pipe bombs around the hospital district, dramatically adding to the urgency behind a possible second set of bombs?
And should I need to point out that the Republican agenda is completely irrelevant in Massachusetts or do I need to send Ted Kennedy and John Kerry to your house personally?
