WTF Boston?

I thought you were cool and all, but then you just blow your top over this whole Mooninite bomb scare. I'm actually embarrassed for you. I suppose things wouldn't be so bad if the other _9_ cities that had these things had also made an international incident out of a viral/guerrilla marketing campaign

All they had to do is ask for permission from the city and all would have been avoided.... I know this is mommy thinking

That is true, though I'm not sure how many soliciters and "taggers" bother to get permission before slapping posters up all over the city. If these were just glow-n-the-dark stickers obviously no one would have cared. Additionally its a GOOD thing that the BPD initially responded as they did, as its always better to be cautious. Their mistake was, after finding out the initial device was harmless, continuing to treat things as if they were deadly serious. During a press conference one of the reporters notes that Turner Broadcasting has admitted to the advertising, yet the city spokesperson was like "that's one possibility we're looking at." What "one" possibility? It's the ONLY one at that point
