This is video of the mysterious objects being placed around Boston. This stunt ranks with the San Diego radio station contest that got a woman to drink water until she died, to win a Wii. But as stupid as The Cartoon Network was, Boston authorities must accept some blame for playing the part of Chicken Little.
Excellent point, twin brother! I think you should write a letter to the editor of the “Boston Globe!” Tom called this one correctly. He said, “it’s either a bunch of college kids or some other idiots doing something totally non-terrorist-related and the authorities are freaking out.” I said if I went around Boston leaving full, unopened boxes of Kotex in plain paper bags, they would probably “disarm” those, too!
My highlighting of the word ARTISTS in the subject is the real subject of my comment. What gets me is how the slightest, tiniest bit of creativity — even in the service of a crass advertising campaign — is all it takes to bring down all of the emergency response departments.
This is how bin Laden succeeded on 9/11. By being clever.
It was those who appreciated ART who first declared there was a serious problem in Afghanistan, when the Taliban destroyed the ancient, huge Buddhist statues. Did anybody listen? No. Two months later, down went the World Trade Center.
It was the looting of the MUSEUMS in Baghdad that signified to those who appreciate ART, that things were going wrong, so soon in the process of liberating Iraq.
Do I have a point here? Does this make any sense? In a world of “regular guys,” the creative people and the artists hold the advantage. Especially if they’re zealots.
