Turner Broadcasting is expected to issue an apology for causing today's series of bomb scares throughout Boston. A statement emailed to the Globe from Turner Broadcasting said: "The 'packages' in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger. They are part of an outdoor marketing campaign in 10 cities in support of Adult Swim’s animated television show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They have been in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Parent company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards. We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger."

Yeah, they've made a statement, but I can't find it online yet. They just read it on the news.

Oops! I should have read that more carefully. That is their statement!

Statement.

Not much more than what was posted above.

WTF? Couldn't they have alerted the municipalities where they were pulling these stunts? Just kinda said to the police/fire/city hall, "oh, by the way, we would like to advertise our show by...." Dumbasses.

Yeah. Apparently, it's a marketing campaign for a movie coming out this spring. Idiots.

Ahahahahahahahaha: [link]

Hey, which of you New Yorkistas work and/or live near the General Electric Building? (formerly the RCA/Victor building)

570 Lexington Avenue at 51st St.

That thing is gorgeous.

They got some splainin' to do.

I'm about 5 blocks from there right now.
