ok... being from the boston area i MUST say this. the ATHF ppl do this in multiple cities before hitting boston and everything is fine... but as soon as they go to boston the whole city is like "OMFG THEY'RE BOMBS!!!!!" and i think i speak for everyone that sees this and i say that they re retards
The stunt did not translate into much of a boost for the show. averaged 386,000 viewers last week according to Nielsen Media Research. The previous week 380,000.
This isn't by orbital and the track name isn't Pacman it's Powerpill Pac-Man and the track name is Powerpill mix. It's produced by Richard D James aka Aphextwin.
Ofcourse everyone in your town was scared and not knowledgable to the fact that they were up for weeks....your state voted for Bush...along with many others....
Actually Mass was a blue state... I live in Boston and I did not vote Bush, nor do I agree with the army that Boston officials sent out to take care of the "bomb scare". 2 Million in damage?? Come on...
You only said it wasn't right because it caused a big ruckus, but the facts of the manner are your public officials overreacted! These things were up for almost 3 weeks before anyone noticed them!
If they were bombs they would have gone off a long time ago.
I read somewhere that the charges were dropped against them when Turner settled, but that could be wrong. Anyway, I don't think Boston has much of a case one way or another, all these guys are guilty of is hanging up lit signs.
The "hoax device" claim just doesn't hold any water, there's nothing at all to suggest that these guys were trying to instigate a bomb scare.
I understand that the publicity that this scandal has brought to ATHF makes up for the 2M Turner settled for, but it irks me that the mayor of Boston got away with shifting the blame for this. Had the police chief and mayor and all those responsible said "sorry we overreacted, we're just trying to keep everyone safe" I would have no hard feelings. But the mayor going on the news and trying to place blame on the marketers is inexcusable. In closing FU Menino you're a lowlife piece of Sh*t.
i think the most that they could be brought up on would be like.. advertising with out a permit. (that is if they didnt have one). but no one should have to pay for the bomb squads time, they were just retards that didnt think through the situation thoroughly before taking things to the next level. no one should have to pay for their mistakes. and no one should have ot serve jail time for no wrong doings. whatever. its such bullshita
Frankly, that's an awful idea. The two suspects, Adult Swim, Cartoon network, and TBS are all potentially at risk of being prosecuted. I agree it's absolutely ludicrous, but to encourage an influx of similar lighted displays would obviously heighten the ability of a quick-witted bomb builder to capitalize on the situation. Then we'd be fucked, and they'd be fucked, and I wouldn't get to watch Shake fuck up Carl's car anymore.
uh like...im not a news kinda man...im more of an adult swim kinda man like family guy or tyhe boondocks...altho simpsons and american dad arent on adult swim
Um, are you perchance living under a rock? this has been in the news, ghost. The characters in the lightboards are the moominites, two "villians" from ATHF. read a fricking paper, man.
I agree. They look stupid and want someone to blame thinking it will make them look less stupid. They really believe that we can no longer have "new" things to look at? Anything out of the ordinary is a threat? Screw that. I am not going to live that way, and I live in Manhattan. I have seen first hand what could be done.
This is insanity. I wanted to punch the mayor all day.
I know... what are we living in? A totalitarian state? I am so sick and tired of this post 9/11 horror show we call the free world...A bomb can be hidden inside anything!! ....If Boston thought that this kind of unwarranted response was necessary then that is their own business... No other city overreacted this way.
that was an awesome song!
