This is INSANE! Everyone is calling it a Hoax, I don't believe its a HOAX, but a VERY BAD CHOICE in judgement. Pure STupidity thats what it is!! Any thoughts on this story??

Yeah that is a little crazy. I think the police did the right thing though. If that was for Marketing then maybe they should have informed the right people and displayed them properly. I can't beleive that the network approved it.

I thought it was hilarious because we love the TV show they were promoting - Aqua Team Hunger Force!

I was thinking about this.....and if it was the other way around....and they were really "bombs"....the other cities would have been the ones we were "laughing" at...since they didn't take it seriously. And it would have been a much bigger deal.

I thought the same thing. Why didn't they just inform the powers that be so they didn't get in so much trouble??? TBS, the parent co of Cartoon Network has agreed to pay restitution. And they are still condisering arresting people from the marketing firm.

I think that the people of Boston totally over reacted. These had already been up for about 2 weeks before people started freaking out over them.
