wha? what's going on?

got to looooove over reactions from idiots. hmmm, somebody puts up lite brights in a several large cities. then, someone thinks they're a bomb, despite the fact that they are freakin lite brights. and then, they artist responsible gets arrested. oh yeah, how about this quote, "The company said that 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." two weeks! way to notice those dangerous bombs. and now the mass. attorney general is involved. sheesh. the devices had parts consistant with an improvised electronic device (ied). except for that explosive part. so, it had l.e.d. lights, some wires, a circuit board. if i left a computer under a bridge, would they think that was a bomb too? oh, it also pisses me off that they keep referring to this as a hoax. it wasn't a hoax. there were no bomb threat call ins, it wasn't supposed to be thought of as a bomb. it is guerrilla marketing. not pretend bombs.

cause, you know, aqua teen hunger force is the real problem in society. kinda like bush focusing on excessive corporate payoffs instead of, you know, that war. and surprise, the "businessman" that couldn't run a baseball team sides with business. (okay, i think businesses should decide how they payout people, not the government too. but still. hey, how about that whole, war's over, we won deal?)

I'd call the people responsible a "street team" or even "guerrilla marketers" rather then "artist."

But we've debated that before, right? One of your first blog posts?

hmmm, not sure about that jay. maybe i'll dig through the archives. or maybe not.

and, yes, they may just be street teamers. when i first heard about it, it seemed like they were saying it was one person, and so i was inclined to think artist. now, knowing that it was a coordinated effort in ten cities, i'd go with street team. although, i'd still be inclined call the person who came up it an artist.

I love the fact that the character they put up was a Mooninite.

I haven't found any connection, but I like to think that the animator might be a menno.
