This is really seditious..

BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

said the devices were part of an outdoor marketing campaign in 10 American cities for an animated television show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" produced by its Adult Swim brand.

They had been in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia.

So an advertising campaign that was in place in 9 other major cities for three weeks is seditious. You know you're right. A good 'conservative' would do two things

1) Require all outdoor advertising meet standards set by Homeland Security. Screw ingenuity and free speech, we want to be 'safe'.
2) Chastise the millions of people in the 9 other cities that used their common sense and didn't run to the police like a chicken with their head cut off. Dern 'libruls'. How dare they?!? Thinking on their own and not trusting the government.....

Of course the next ridiculous argument is that this is somehow comparable to yelling fire in a theater. Except that won't apply for several reasons. It was not meant to incite anyone and Turner Broadcasting didn't take into account the stupidity of some, not all, Bostonians....

These things were in place for three weeks, but were all reported on the same day?

Don't think so... something's up with that.

I don't agree with the posters that are calling this "sedition" or some other thing. But I wouldn't have a problem with a little jail time for hoaxing a city with abandoned bags and packages. False alarms will happen but when they're intentional it is, and should be a crime.

"said the devices were part of an outdoor marketing campaign in 10 American cities for an animated television show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" produced by its Adult Swim brand."

Well. That worked out real well. I went to Adult Swim Fix and ATHF episodes are nononononononon-existent!

I see you are a pimp for the jester. Batman is going to ring your chimes (LOL). We are a nation at war, but so few remember or want to remember. In peace time it would be a joke. But not now, my fine feathered friend.

A dry run intelligence gathering exercise for Al Qaeda could not have been designed better.

Freedom of Speech? It would have been easy to warn the Boston authorities ahead of time. Then it would be freedom of speech. This is a liberal whacko snub at the war effort, and it could easily provide crucial data to any Islamofascist group intent on conducting a bombing of a city.

But I guess you don't get it.
