My dislike of stupid catchphrase marketing ploys colored my judgment on this one. I hear you Miranda, and like I said I was misinterpreting the uber-serious reports I read about it.

The way the media is covering this story is completely idiotic. These things are no more than battery powered lite brights of cartoon characters. It's a "device" the way a lamp is a device. The cartoon network is brilliant. Why would you or anyone suggest that someone get fired over this? If anyone should get fired it's the city officials of Boston, and the money this cost should be taken out of their paychecks. This is a hilarious advertising campaign, not a "prank". Give me a break, celebitchy. If some idiot misread something you published in your blog and did something expensive and stupid should they be able to sue you for the money and blame you for their stupidity?

I didn't know the lights were up for two weeks before they were found either. The article made it sound like they were new to Boston, but had been up for two weeks in other cities.

Bombs? Seriously? They'd been there for weeks, and if they asked around before they freaked out I'm sure they could have figured out they were from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, not terrorists. The knee-jerk restrictive reactions about stuff like this in this country is really starting to piss me off. How much of our humor, advertising, or drinking (as in liquids on planes) rights are we going to have to give up for "security"? I agree terrorism is a threat, but what they're doing isn't making safer, it's making it LOOK like it's safer, while costing American's money and freedom in stupid incidents like this. I wish they'd actually do things to make it safer, not make it a pain in the butt for innocent Americans, like the two guys they picked up on this. They were just doing a job, and now they're having to pay for lawyers and such. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up on some black list because of it, either. Sorry, that kind of ended up being a rant. I thought the signs were funny, and that Boston was being ridiculous. Whether the advertising or idea is stupid or not, Boston reacted like retards. Bombs?

If any kid would see it, they'd know what it is. Also, they were up for 2 weeks before the city officials got to them. Again, over-reaction and knee-jerk justice is what we have displayed here. CN may not be the brightest tool in the shed but for this gimmick to shut down the city of Boston makes me think the idiots running the city have baked beans in their scattered brains!

I think it's a great marketing idea. The other cities didn't shut down because of this. Maybe they're hip enough to watch Adult Swim and recognized Ignignokt -- or is that Er? I love the Moononites. I agree that taxpayers shouldn't have to pay the cost of this little fiasco, but local officials need to recognize whether or not a device is a credible threat. I’d like one too!
