What could be better than a nice little marketing scheme gone horribly awry? Perhaps a marketing scheme going so well that it exceeds everyone's dreams of what was possible. We'll soon find out if it really is easier to get forgiveness than permisson. Well, okay, "soon" maybe isn't the most appropriate word.

Major Boston Terrorist Attack + Aqua Teen Hunger Force = Laugh Out Loud? Not sure about the MBTA.
I was thinking MBTA = Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, but I like your take better.
What I find interesting is the under-reported angle that these boxes were placed in more cities than just Boston...and those cities managed to figure out that they weren't nuclear devices.
I haven't seen news people this POed in a long time...I think its a bit of the 'ol sour grapes because their 24 hour news networks spent time and money covering this "story" without checking with other cities that were smart enough not to shut down half the city over a handful of Lite-Brites.
I'm not saying that the marketing people were right here...what I am saying is that blame needs to be placed on the hype-machine media, and the (evidently) slow-on-the-uptake Boston police as well.
That...and the stupid "threat level" garbage that gets us all freaked out to begin with.
Anyway...give me a break with all of this. They made a bad choice...it doen't mean the terrorists won.
Wow. I guess I need to read the news more often. I like Lite Brite.
