I get the hipness POV, but it's still dumb. I think I'm getting old.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Viral marketing is edgy -- don't you know that? Edgy people do not get permits. Also, even if they'd been granted, the permits would have been expensive. Viral marketing isn't worth doing unless it's cheap.
You'd hope someone would be suspicious by strange people fiddling around under bridges and such.
Well, as Tommy notes, they could do it quickly; but also, the place the first one was found? A bus stop. Directly next to the T station. Underneath an overpass.
It is like, How did Jimmy get his boogers into his sister's hair? Well, they were two of the nine chidlren mashed into the back seat, so it's possible he just breathed too hard on her.

And if he aimed just a little bit, well, it was probably by accident.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
if this marketing plan was in any way examined or approved by the executives, I do NOT understand how anyone looking over the plan didn't think, even for a millisecond, that it needed to be run by Legal, and that they definitely needed to get permits and the like from each city in question
I suspect there wasn't much oversight and outsourcing to boot. No place for the buck to stop which is why the top dog is now the one going down for it.

I have been instructed to please not lance myself anymore and also soak my thumb.
This reminds me of the HILARIOUS (no, really) story of my bff getting a splinter in her thumb, fishing around with a needle a la msbelle, and ending up having to be operated on by a hand specialist. Our mutual other bff who is an er doc gave her massive amounts of shit about it because it was totally something one of her junky patients would have done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I looked up a moment ago to discover that a coworker was wearing leather pants.
I just used up all my remaining willpower for the day by not pointing and laughing at him.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't really get the analogy. But I don't have boogers in my hair. Or live in Boston.
