Those devices were placed in 10 cities and only Boston caused a panic over it. Maybe that city should focus on more important things. One, for example, is how to build a tunnel without it collapsing on a woman driving through it. Another would be, oh, electing a mayor who could be understood when they speak. Oh yeah, maybe fixing their traffic problems too.

"Handbanana, no!"

Something tells me the two artists who put them up will walk, since the "panic" created was minimal (despite the high cost of law enforcement's response), but the city will seek and receive a settlement from Turner.

I am sooo ashamed that I live next door to such a fruitcake state....it's a f$#%^g light brite not a "terroristic hoax planted though out Boston to create fear". This is just further proof that we have legislated against common sense and survival of the fittest for so long that the stupidity has become common place. Oh and personally I think "hippie hair" came into vogue in 1969 but since I was but 3 at that time I could be wrong

CNN:

At a news conference after the hearing, Stevens and Berdovsky stepped to the microphones and said they were taking questions only about 1970s hairstyles.

When a reporter accused them of not taking the situation seriously, Stevens responded, "We're taking it very seriously." Asked another question about the case, Stevens reiterated they were answering questions only about hair and accused the reporter of not taking him and Berdovsky seriously.

Reporters did not relent and as they continued, Berdovsky disregarded their queries, saying, "That's not a hair question. I'm sorry."

I think that Stevens and Berdovsky are brilliant. You never see people take on the news like that and when the reporters told them to take this seriously, I almost shouted at the radio. How dare they say that. The news is a bunch of fear mongers who prey on people and their insecurities. Just watch any prime-time tv show and the previews for the news are always something like "What toy is your child playing with that could kill them? Stay tuned at 11." Well why the fuck can't they just say it? It's the news, it should be informative. I really wish I lived in a day where the newscasters broadcast news, not fear. They got exactly what they deserved and bravo.

I am sad that Turner has to pay the city of Boston. I do not believe they are responsible for Boston's freakout. But seeing as my husband and I had our most heated argument to date about this topic, I am going to keep my mouth shut.

And now the Cartoon Network president has resigned over the mess. Ahhh, the Boston pollice...gangster and multiple murderer Whitey Bulger slips through your fingers, but people who put up cartoon signs you (and only you) mistook for bombs? They're goin' down hard!

Heheh... that's pretty sad.

...And I can't believe someone actually resigned over this shit!
