I think it's both hilarious, and ridiculous that Boston panicked the way it did, and that they are now trying to place blame anywhere but their ignorance. I'm just imagining the precedent this would set if someone really did go to jail: someone decides the fedex package full of caramel corn that's sitting on your door step after having been delivered looks suspicious. The city calls down the wrath of God on you, and discovers the caramel corn. You are blamed for the fiasco and charged with a "hoax." Whatever -- the ad company made something that was clever, stupid people took it the wrong way. It's those peoples' fault.
I kind of disagree. These were placed in not so well places, like underneath underpasses, -strategic ones at that. Longfellow Bridge, and BU bridge over masspike would be really bad places to put bombs or similar. There are loads of billboards on the masspike in and around that area but they are clearly billboards and they are on the wall lining masspike. A creative light ad in the same scope of these may have been a better way forward.


I'm voting against the theocratic psychopaths
