What should we call last week's terror scare in Boston?

[originalpckelly]

Boston Pee Party? Boston Mass-panic-attack? The Boston Sign Trials?

[Deja Q]

1. LiteBrite Adult Swim(ming in their own pee)-gate

[mdmc]

2. corporate terrorism

creating a scene to promote your product at the expense of the community.

The marketing professionals could have ended this madness at noon, but held their tongue so that their cartoon could get hyped as much as possible.

At least the cartoon rocks.

[baldguy]

5. The terrorists are the people who want you to be afraid.

The law enforcement professionals could have made sure the madness never began.

23. law enforcement must always protect us

when the PR firm failed to work with the police, failed to comply with requests for clarification and ownership, they most likely committed a crime.

The pr campaign and signs were not illegal. When the cops asked if the pr firm knew about the campaign, the pr firm did not take ownership of the campaign. Thus the scare. Thus the crime.

So if a corporate marketing firm wanted people to be afraid in order to hype up their campaign, they are criminals (perhaps terrorists).

13. strange that the other dozen cities or so...

that also were involoved in this marketing campaign didn't act in the same manner. Even stranger that all of these 'lite brights' had been in place for over 2 weeks. Hekuva job homeland security! what if they had been real?

9. The first episode of ATHF in which the Mooninites appear is titled "Mayhem of the Mooninites"

Since the whole episode in Boston was as absurd as any 15 minutes of ATHF if not more so, I have been calling it that.
Maybe since we need to distinguish between the TV show and the event in Boston, "Mayhem of the Mooninites, Part DUH"

I mean come on. If you were planting a bomb would you put a great big neon sign on it to draw attention and hang it in full view?

[originalpckelly]

18. Oh come on...

we all know bombs have those blinky little lights on them. Now, of course, this one was missing the led clock, so it's not a full bomb. Don't cut the blue wires!
