After shutting down most of Boston today with their Aqua Teen Hunger Force marketing stunt, I'm thinking that Turner Broadcasting is going to be in some serious trouble. My only question is what kind of goodwill will those big boys from Atlanta be doling out. Maybe a CNN Center for the Homeless? The TBS School for the Deaf? A TNT Greenway addition? I just can't see them NOT being obliged to do some serious mea culpa action.
Plus, what took them so long to come forward? The "packages" first appeared this morning, but it wasn't until the 6 o'clock news that they were making a statement? I'm sure there were quite a few lawyers in on this one:
The ''packages'' in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger. They are part of an outdoor marketing campaign in 10 cities in support of Adult Swim’s animated television show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They have been in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Parent company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards. We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger.
Way to avoid taking any responsibility or showing any remorse!

You actually think they should show remorse for some idiots jumping the gun, labeling something a bomb that didnt even look like one?? Yeah fkin right. lol Im tired of this "post 911 world" excuse. People need to reference the little logic they may possess, before making extreme statements or taking actions. Prediction : You're thought of as an idiot too. ~Virginian
