Turner has nothing to do with any of this because he merged with Time-Warner in 2003 and quit Time Warner in Feb of 2006

fox is full of shit(AGAIN)

Damn liberals terrorizing people. They are just using fear to get their ways.

I guess some people were stealing the boxes, not knowing what they were.

How do you know what they were? Do we have to play the "right" or "left" blame game? Chrissake. Don't we just call people idiots anymore?

**casinobonusa** · 01-02-2007, 07:54 PM

The mayor of Boston is SUCH a drama queen!!

BAHAHAHA they were scared of THAT? I just looked at the article again and saw a picture of the blinking boxes.

Oh man that is hilARIous!!

**WeestDype** · 01-02-2007, 09:14 PM

this makes me want to watch Adult Swim.

Good job advertising Cartoon Network!

**WeestDype** · 01-02-2007, 09:20 PM

One thing ticking me off about this whole mess
is Turner Broadcasting's need to apologize.
They said they apologized, took down the signs, practically caving into the perception by Boston that these were bombs or resembled.

Further reading of the issue shows it was the Boston Police who instigated the panic: going as far as to blow one of the devices up! Quirky cartoon ads spark terror scare in Boston-The United States-World-NEWS-The Times of India

To the pathetic mayor of Boston who is whining that this has cost his country 500K: "YOU, mr. Mayor, are a DUMB ASS!"

Turner Broadcast need not apologize to the intellectually challenged.
The Mayor of Boston wont look at the Police as the factor inciting the scare. No, the moron wants to implicated Turner.

MORON!"

BOSTON - Bomb units scrambled to investigate five suspicious devices reported throughout Boston on Wednesday. The reports forced the temporary shutdowns of Interstate 93 out of the city, a key inbound roadway, a bridge between Boston and Cambridge, and a portion of the Charles River but were quickly determined not to be explosive.

"It's a hoax — and it's not funny," Gov. Deval Patrick said.

The first device was found at an MBTA subway and bus station located under Interstate 93 on Wednesday morning. The device was detonated and determined to be harmless, but as a precaution the station and the interstate shut down temporarily.

Well somebody explain this? What the hell is going on?

Adult Swim is in deep doo doo. FOX is reporting it as being a network publicity stunt. Ted Turner is facing 5 years

Your evidence of this is??? What? FOX news?

**alex_loudermilk** · 01-31-2007, 09:13 PM

Oh my... When will the FBI Finaly get to RAID in CNN offices and RAID in Ted Turners house?

**dittygari** · 01-31-2007, 09:25 PM

That was awfully stupid of Cartoon Network...

**Usogwdkb** · 01-31-2007, 09:54 PM

I take it you didn't read the source in the OP (which btw, is an AP release).

An angry Mayor Thomas Menino said a stiff penalty will be pursued against whoever was responsible for the devices.

**annouhMus** · 01-31-2007, 11:39 PM

MY MY MY he's facing five years because an unverified report?

Can you say rumour-mongering????

Turner Broadcasting has announced that it was a guerrilla marketing campaign that went terribly wrong.

**Gerribase** · 01-31-2007, 11:48 PM

Somebody's going to be guerrilla marketing for a new job......

Idiots.

**Nikkytas** · 01-31-2007, 11:51 PM

I'd like to know where Kennedy and Kerry were during this time?

**Jeffery** · 02-01-2007, 05:01 AM

wait a minute, do those bomb squads have the least bit of training in electronics? This reminds me of the bombsquads which blew up the boxes stamped with "PROPERTY OF U.S.G.S." on the side of them in Florida before a hurricane, because "they looked suspicious"

Its a circuit board and its not freaking attached to anything dangerous. Of course its freaking harmless.

**Jeffery** · 02-01-2007, 05:02 AM

Idiots.

Because they didn't account for a paranoid, idiotic populace who should have probably naturally selected themselves already? Listen people, just because something is new, doesn't make it a bomb. A bomb, among other things, REQUIRES EXPLOSIVES.

"It's about keeping a city on edge. It's about public safety," he said.

Its about having a mayor who is unable to calm idiotic fears. The cop reaction of shutting down the road added fear where there should have been none, and furthers this inane paranoia.

OMG ITS A BOMB!

Seriously people, its not even as complex as a lite brite.
