The media wanted this to me another terrorist attack, and was trying to scare people into thinking this so they will watch the news. After seeing what was really posted around the city I shouldnt have been scared at all today. I hate the media for sensationalizing everything.

but the campain should have just used paper posters - they did have the bomb squad blowing these things up which led to the media getting a huge boner and reporting TERRROR!!! ]]>Jan 31st 2007 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/31/aqua-teen-hunger-force-viral-ads-cause-boston-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/31/aqua-teen-hunger-force-viral-ads-cause-boston-bomb-scare/
What pisses me off is that these were done with care not to leave a mess to clean up (magnetic; pops right off, no property damage) and were fun/pretty to look at. These signs brought anyone with half a brain a little happiness in addition to advertising something (which I happened to love anyway). It should have gone down as exactly the right way to do guerilla adverts. They weren't *that* clever, but they were pretty.

presumably it was done by subcontracted workers in every city they were used in. i don't they got paid enough to make being arrested worthwhile.

i doubt anyone at the ad agency or turner has been arrested.

though... a lot of this could've been avoided with some permits and/or permission before doing it. that's one of the ways Sony got out of getting in too much trouble over the PSP Graffiti ads... they simply put the graffiti in places that was already allowed to have advertising. ]]>Jan 31st 2007 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/31/aqua-teen-hunger-force-viral-ads-cause-boston-bomb-scare/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/31/aqua-teen-hunger-force-viral-ads-cause-boston-bomb-scare/
