I was coming back from getting food and was trying to cross Huntington Ave in Boston when a huge group of police vehicles came flying down the road trying to get through traffic. There were cops on motorcycles on the sidewalk and everything.

I logged online to the Boston TV station's website to find this.

The fall out is going to be huge.

haha I thought it was funny once I found out it had to do with Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

The shows creator called into BCN, funniest shit I've heard so far, although I agree it wasn't right that they did that but still funny.

Channel 7 had the pictures of the mini billboards that were put up around the city, had the middle finger censored out while WMUR (Manchester NH) had the same picture but an unedited, they had one of their web editors try and explain what the show was all about, you could see the guys facial expression trying to keep himself from laughing though. I could tell this guy was probably a regular viewer of ATHF and Adultswim, the female anchors face just dropped though kinda like one of these o:O or (O) : (O) expressions.

i dont get it....i read it, but it didnt make any sense

Basically, they were mini posters with some electronics in them that allowed them to light up. People called the police thinking they were bombs.

so someon is going to jail for some posters? What kind of fucking retard mistakes a poster with lights for a fucking bomb?

[accordaffair]

how can you mistake that for a bomb, honestly

you can't arrest someone cuz other people are stupid

I don't even watch the show and I know what that is

[Ralphie]

Aparently they did this in like 10 cities. I guess Boston was teh only city that confused them with bombs.

[Ralphie]

only boston...wow.....

"GODDAMN IT!"

[4thgenaccord]

This is what the world has come to. we see a poster and OMG IT'S A BOMB. CALL THE POLICE!!!!!


Thanks you "home land security"

Gov. Deval Patrick praised the response of law enforcement and said that he was "dismayed to learn that many of the devices are a part of a marketing campaign by Turner Broadcasting."

So he was upset they were NOT bombs?

u guys are thinking of these things in the wrong way.

mike the reason u couldnt get down huntington was because one was found at mass art. we all saw it before, it was there at like 11 am when i went to class. i dont understand why it took them 6 hours to find that one. ill tell u it looked scary as shit. there was wires hanging off of it and all. it looked like the insides from a big computer just hanging there sideways. i had no clue what it was, the last thing on my mind was something to promote a show. they were far from posters.



edit: henry i want one of those light up things haha

i just bought this

[ACC0RD22]

I can see how someone who had no clue what that was would freak out. It really does look like something thats just kinda hastily rigged there. Obviously not a very well thought out ad campaign.
