Just when you thought the worst things about the city were baked beans, fanatical Red Sox fans, and nasally accents—Boston just had to go and run the whole Aqua Teen/"bomb-like device" scandal into the ground, stomp it lifeless and leave some of our greatest Adult Swim master-minds shit out of luck when it comes to work.
Jim Samples, head of Adult Swim headquarters Cartoon Network, has resigned after the network was forced to pay $2 million in fines to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office for the guerilla, Mooninite marketing prank that sent the entire city of Boston into a lockdown panic attack. The light-box scandal and subsequent arrest of its two perpetrators was the most unfortunate day in Boston-related history since Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won Oscars for Good Will Hunting.
[Samples] wrote in an internal memo to colleagues, "I deeply regret the negative publicity and expense caused to our company as a result of this campaign."
No word yet on who Samples' replacement will be.
