I saw some jackasses on tv earlier today saying how horrible it was to put the poor people of Boston though such an ordeal and how much it cost the police department and whatnot. I think they just wanted something to yell about. They're not bombs or threats, and no matter how many people thought they were, you can't arrest people because of your stupidity. Well this is Bush's America, maybe you can. I hope Turner doesn’t give in and compensate these idiots for their stupidity.

I can understand how someone getting a glimpse of this flying by at 60 MPH might think it was a bomb. But the only panicked calls I got were from my in-laws in Oklahoma; nothing from anyone in state. As much as the media is blowing this out of proportion, it was still a little irresponsible to put these things UNDER BRIDGES. To be honest, its a stupid marketing stunt for a half-baked (no, make that totally baked) show. I hope that they get nailed to the wall, because it hasn't encouraged me to watch the show or the movie.

They’ve arrested two of the independent artists who were hired to install the signs, and they say they plan to pursue charges against the persons “in the boardroom at Turner” who approved the ad campaign.  No word yet on what has the Boston officials more outraged–the fact that they threw their city into a panic and terrorized their own citizens over an obvious advertising campaign, or the fact that said campaign, which they felt was a terrorist threat, was installed and in place for more than two weeks before the crack Boston anti-terror squad noticed them.  [...] […]  UPDATE:  It’s the following morning, and it looks like the city of Boston is intent on compounding their error by pursuing charges.

People are claiming that it was "fast action" by the Noston police department and government agents in taking these down. If two to three weeks is fast action, people probably can claim the same dissatifaction with public offical reaction as the Hurricane Katrina victims can. 2)It's embarrassinmg tha the Governor of Massachuseets apaprently isn't aware of what the word "hoax" means. In order for these to have been a hoax they would have had to be intedned to actually be bombs. That was never the intetnion of any of these things, so to call them "hoax" instruments is not only a gross overreation but also a misuse of what the word hoax actually means. 3) the signs have been all over ten major American cities without a peep until yesterday. It's embarrassing to think that the media and my state has made more of this than it actually is basically because they are probably dissapointed that they weren't bombs. At least that's what the local media was making it sound like last ngiht. Oncee something is deemed a non-story, media outlets seem to want to do everything they can to try to make it a story, especially continuing to report that yest another non threating sign had been found after long reporting that none of them were a threat?!?! 4)The Patriots lost the AFC championship game and The Red Sox don't start spring training for another two weeks. Both the Bruins and Celtics are on horrible history amking losing streaks. Apparently the Boston media needed to create soemthing to keep itself interesting until Red Sox season. Embarrasing, yet again, that we up here are that bored.
