so we have these devices with lights in them in a bunch of major US cities: Boston; New York; Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; Atlanta, Georgia; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Austin, Texas; San Francisco, California; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. and so people get all frightened and scared, in Boston, that they may be bombs. only in Boston. not NY, where 9/11 took place or anywhere else, for two weeks; but one morning, in Boston, somebody got all scared and called 911. and they brought in the bomb squad. which, after destroying one of the devices, was still unable to admit that they were just circuit boards with batteries, a light sensor and LEDs. I mean, don’t the bomb squad people undergo electronics training? or do they just send in their little robot to perform the ‘blowing up’ of the device hoping no biochemical agents are present?

all is fine otherwise. I guess I am happy to see some silly ad campaign go to crap because somebody was incapable of getting the proper permissions. but yes, something obviously bugs me. the two guys that made the devices and had to place them are the only ones that have been arrested and the only ones being tried. without making this a natural law philosophical debate, my issue is: why their employers have not been brought to justice yet and will they ever be? it would be incredibly stupid to have these guys [pic is reportedly taken during trial] put in jail for this.

or they should at the very least ask for a bonus for how incredibly successful their campaign has been.
