Apparently Cartoon Network was running one of those strange street promotions like Sony did with the PSP Graffitti.

Cuirit boards with glowing leds and hanging wires were strewn across a few cities and in some places, Boston, were mistaken as bombs.

Mass Gov. and Boston's Mayor are debating suing Cartoon Network. If they do i hope to god Western Mass gets some of the friggin finances.

I just heard the article on the radio ajnd missed a good portion of it maybe someone, or myself later, can find a news article online.

May be up to 10 "suspicious devices"? XD Dang, that is comedic gold right there. Absolutely hilarious.

This entire fiasco is hilarious. Talk about a generational divide, and poor notification to the authorities.

From AP:

"The packages in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger," Turner said in a statement. It said the devices have been in place for two to three weeks in 10 cities: Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Ore., Austin, Texas, San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Nothing coming from those cities, why only Boston?  People a little out of touch there possibly.

Picture of the Year for 2007 has to be the bomb squad guy holding the that LED sign in his hand!  Classic!!! (see above)

I love ATHF, but I'm kinda disappointed that Adult Swim had to stoop this low to market it.

Just shows how out out of control and crazy marketing is today. God I hate advertising agencies.

This even made it to prime-time BBC TV news. I found it amusing that they had to blur out the triangle shaped "middle finger" on the American footage but left it unblurred for the BBC news.
