So as I was standing outside last night with a bonafide cigarette between my lips, it dawned on me why Boston flipped out like it did. It all makes perfect sense, and despite what it looks like Boston was the luckiest city out of the select few that the advertisements went up in.
It all began when a confused citizen who overdosed on their 'tussin called the police department saying that there was a threatening device shining an unfamiliar image on a bridge. Police go to check it out, and it's plainly not a bomb. They've seen the signs before in various places around the city. The officers then have the following glowing idea. React like it is a bomb. Call in the bomb squad and run a city wide drill. People get practice, and it shows the city that they're prepared to handle a threat. Everyone plays along and the innocent devices become a threat worthy of 2 million dollars in compensation money. The sum of which easily covers the 500,000 bill from the police department, and gives both the police, and the city some extra funding. Plus Aqua Teen Hunger Force got unprecedented publicity for the upcoming movie. The only people who are getting the shaft so far are the two fellows who were paid to put the signs up in the first place. Especially now that it has been shown that they taped the police flipping out over the signs. Even so, they'll probably make it out of this alright.
Well played.
