Guerilla Marketing or Terrar‽

So cartoon network or TBS or whoever was trying to promote Aqua Teen Hunger Force by putting up a bunch of signs around Boston. They were kind of like the things Graffiti Research Lab does, A bunch of LEDs with a magnet on the back. Magnets being only able to stick to metal, they stuck them on bridges and highways. And Boston homeland security types freak the fuck out and shut down the city because they thought they were bombs. First of all, good job not looking like idiots in front of various forms of media Boston law enforcement. Second, how the hell does that look like a bomb? It's a light up cartoon character. Ok, I get that terrorists would disguise a bomb as something that doesn't look like a big metal ball with a burning fuse, but why would they make something that would draw attention to itself. There's 'being suspisious' and then there's 'being a paranoid moron'.
