Cartoon Network Hoax

This was an unbelievable thing that I heard about on my way to band...was it last week or the week before? Cartoon Network staged a big marketing stunt that resulted in disaster. The "ads" featured wires and blinking lights. Several planted throughout Boston were mistaken as bombs. Therefore, most of Boston was shut down! There were these blinking devices in other cities, too, but they didn't cause as much of a disturbance. The signs planted featured a box-shaped cartoon character from the show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" giving commuters the finger. Two men were arrested for putting the signs up, and Cartoon Network is now part of a huge controversy. Some of the show's fans say that it was just a sign, how could it be mistaken as a bomb? But many others are furious for the network, saying that the signs scared them to death of a 9/11 repeat.

I believe that networks a)shouldn't have these stupid shows on. I mean really, the show is about a talking milkshake, a box of fries, and a MEATBALL!!! Also, b)networks shouldn't create a false public alarm. The police knew nothing of the signs, and the network should have talked to them to reassure that it was a mere marketing stunt. Even if they didn't talk to police, the network should at least make a regular ad, not a freaky, rude, wirey one that resembles a bomb! The citizens of Boston are furious for the shutting-down of many bridges, subways, and buildings.
