It just goes to show how clueless and disconnected these nitwits are.
And doesn't that show they are trying to advertise sound like an odds-on winner? Drivel, I say.
The individuals involved in this stunt should be harshly punished with jail time and heavy fines.
Turner Broadcasting should also be punished. Turner is so desperate for viewers it will stoop to any stunt to try and get attention.
Ok, you are hanging flashing neon signs in high visibility spots. They have a cartoon character on them flipping people off and a couple of Duracell batteries. does this sound like the work of undercover terrorist operatives?
Here's my question: What idiot would call 911 and report a bomb?
C'mon people, you are now officially "terrorized". They won.
I might think differently if the "ads" were not so blatently cheesy. Sure, if I wanted to plant bombs over a wide area I am going to make them stand out with blue lights and put them in plain sight so that they are easily identified.
Although I certainly enjoy seeing Ted Turner and his org squirming, it was not them who ran the advertising campaign. It was a small marketing agency without too many brains. The catch is that the marketing firm does not have deep pockets and Turner does. In addition, there are already plenty of people laughing at the overreaction of Boston to the immediate media hype and the village idiots up there want to look like adults again.
