Seems you can't look anywhere without hearing about the Agua teen promo that got alot of people up in arms. These guys put up light brites of a mooninite giving the finger and they got arrested for it because they could have been a bomb or something. If someone was gonna place a bomb somewhere why would they be stupid enough to actually put lights on it that would draw attention?

That was fucking stupid!! How could you mistake those for a bomb threat? Well one good thing is that Cartoon Network got their advertisment out. Now they gat a national advertisment tha their new movies is comming out because it it. So in a way its kind of a good thing that they thought it was a bomb scare..they got more advertisement :P
The bomb squad is suppost to be able to tell if it's a bomb or not this is just an excuse for a escape goat to cover up there mistakes.

Living in Boston, I experienced firsthand the trouble it caused. The T was down for several hours, and roads were blocked. The authorities took it pretty seriously.
Personaly, I think it's better to be safe than sorry. The first one that was called in was attached to a stanchion that holds up part of the I-93.
Of course, it was there for almost 2 weeks before anyone noticed, so I guess it didn't really matter. ^_^
It's a bit silly on all sides.

Yeah, both sides were acting a bit boneheaded in this situation, but I agree with senjuro about being safe than sorry. And what a waste of time doing all that over ATHF anyways.
well, they are overreacting in a way...but then again they didn't need to take to the extremes, but be cautious anyway...i'll just stay nuetral on this situation...but if i had to choose it would be yes, its just a bunch of stupid lights

I don't like watching ATHF. for some reason, it annoys me. normally I would watch it, but I can't stand it. it's no better than Sons of Butcher, but I watch that.
I never heard of any terrorist bomb threats recently. they probably just never aired it, or I keep missing it.
