We are a nation at war, but so few remember or want to remember.

Ah yes, that old canard. Let's toss the First Amendment. Let me spell it out for you. Do you remember Lite-Brites? Only a simpleton that couldn't tie his own shoes would mistake this advertisement for a 'bomb'. Well either that or someone who completely trusts his government without question (which in effect is the same thing)

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

Great googly moogly!! Advertisements all over the city and in multiple cities!! Let's ban all multi-market advertising ASAP. We are 'at war' afterall

Freedom of Speech? It would have been easy to warn the Boston authorities ahead of time. Then it would be freedom of speech.

Yes because that's the definition of free speech isn't it? Informing all government officials of what you're going to say or do in advertising a product. Why, why, we should arrest anyone that posts an ad on a telephone pole or on a street corner. They don't inform government officials what they're going to do either. Those terrorists....

This is a liberal whacko snub at the war effort

I know!! I bet when they were sitting around planning this 'guerilla marketing' (which is what it's called) they were thinking, hey let's make a statement against the war.

But I guess you don't get it.

No, Bostonians don't 'get it'. There were 9 other cities this campaign was in. And yet somehow citizens in those 9 other cities didn't call in terrorist threats. Hmmmm, let's see. Millions of people that used common sense to see it for what it was or government officials that overreacted.
