Jan. 31st, 2007 04:10 pmAt this point, if I were a spokesperson for the Boston Police Department, I'd release a statement saying, "Well, yeah, but we just really hate Adult Swim. I mean, sure we knew what it was, but if you got a chance to blow up a Cartoon Network character, wouldn't you jump on it?"
(Background if you've missed it: the MBTA in Boston was shut down for a while because of "suspicious devices" found and blown up, which were actually pictures of a character from Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. Apparently, these have appeared in other cities, too, today, and Cartoon Network is soon to be releasing a movie including them. Boston appears to be the only city which has responded to viral marketing by blowing it up.)
Hey, yeah -- that would be another good thing approach for the spokesperson -- "Hey, wait until the first weekend grosses for 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force' are released. THEN you tell ME if we were wrong to call in the bomb squad."
