Boston Guerilla Advertising

[Bullaholic]

Anybody kept up with this news story about the company that put up signs advertising the Cartoon Network on bridges and overpasses in Boston causing the City of Boston to issue a terror alert and shut down several major freeways because they looked like suspicious packages?

The best part is that these signs were placed in these locations by 2 idiots who own this company and they proceeded to laugh and carry on like fools at a news conference. I wonder how much laughing they will be doing from a jail cell.

1. Those guys are stupid with their advertising scheme.

2. This whole thing was blown way out of proprotion by the authorities and the media.

They weren't just signs from what I heard. I heard they were like boxes with blinking lights.

They were like the old Light Bright toys from the 80s. That's basically all they were.

I was more put off by these guy's appearances (would not judge anyone on that alone) and post-arrest behavior than I was by the act itself.
