The thing that I find most interesting is the thought, the mere notion, that a city like Boston would be the TARGET of a terrorist attack galls me. How self-important to you have to feel to even think that is a possibility. Everybody likes to think their town is important, but Boston isn't even in the top ten as far as Major Metropolises in the United States. (They're actually number 11) The fact that the planes responsible for the 9/11 attack departed Boston FOR OTHER CITIES tells me that the threat to that city is minimal. If this was New York, or L.A. or Chicago responding to this in the belief it was a terror threat, I could understand.

Also, this add was done in nine other Major cities. One of them was (I beleive) New York, and there was no incident. But hey... The people of Boston will probably tell you its because New York has grown lax in their post 9/11 security...

I have to laugh (so i dont cry) that we live in a day and age where an Atari-Looking Character on a Lite-Brite needs to be blasted with water cannons and then blown up. I feel like a bomb squad just laid primary charges to detonate my Glow Worm, and apparently, my Teddy Ruxpin has taken hostages and is demanding "everyone sing along".

In the day of the rose colored alert levels and paranoia being the hot new scent, We live in so much fear it's disgusting. If this ad campaign was design to instill fear as Boston officials claim, then it was wrong. I still wouldnt stand up against it, because terrorism is the new buzz word, and pointing out how jumpy America has become would be a public service. (IMHO)

But I don't believe this was meant to instill fear and panic. I think it was just a creative marketing campaign that should have been a huge succes, and ended up a huge load in Bostons pants instead.

We fear our own shadow in this country, and a high profile position was lost in company that has turned around the biggest surprise in 20 years of TV. Who would have thought Cartoon Network would become such a powerful Pop-Culture force? Well, maybe that's over now. CN lost the boss, maybe now things will change for the worst. Because Boston is scared shitless of a kids toy with a crudely drawn cartoon character. God Bless America.

Of course, because it clearly wasn't the fault of the morons in charge of shutting the subway down.
