Some seem to think it's Govt. trying to make itself seem like, "We've got everything covered. Nothing goes undetected." as it trying to make up for 9/11 around here.
However, I think we have over-reacted. I mean, c'mon, since when did Osama watch a little polygonal alien giving the finger to a shake and a box of frys?

From the initial news, they make it sound like black boxes consistent with mail-bombs, but after seeing actual pictures of the device, ye Gods is that idea ridiculous!
The Moonites must have incredible technology to make bombs this thin:
(from Fool-Killer's link... )
If I were a first respondent here, and I saw the thing, and I wasn't familiar with the show, I'd be thinking... "Why in the hell would anyone do this...?" I'm not entirely familiar with explosives, but I do know that the amount of C4 you could hide on a sheet that thin would probably be just enough to shoot that board off whatever wall it's attached to... not enough to injure anybody, unless it hits them on the head.
"components consistent with improvised explosive devices..." Yup... next time you see anything with duct tape on it... run away. Run far, far away...

While I find the humor of ATHF kind of crude and at times, more moronic than humanly possible, I do watch it for the occassional guffaw. I think the advertising is entirely appropriate, but those three bulbs that look like an upraised middle finger mighy be construed as scandalous...
Heck, where can I buy one?

Yup. It just proves that government wants us to live in fear, just....like....the TERRORISTS!
ATHF would be the last thing that al-Qaeda would watch. It would offend them for many reasons.*McLaren*
The components consistent with an improvised explosive device were batteries, wire, and LEDs. Therefore, my MP3 player is an IED. Everytime I walk onto a bus, I could be arrested?FoolKiller

Legal experts predict case against men in Boston bomb scare will be difficult to prove
Who wants to take a guess at why Boston officials and the media keep using the term "hoax devices"?
Best part of the article:
I predict the city will try and make these guys into villains or the DA will drop the case due to lack of evidence. I'm still shocked this got past a grand jury and these charges were even pressed. I am sure they could come up with a different crime committed here because of the location of these signs, but the current charges just don't mesh with the story.
So far the officials have told us that A) these were intended to be advertisements for a television show and B) these men intended to scare everyone into thinking they had planted bombs, thus a bomb hoax.
That doesn't add up and any honest jury will say the same thing. Of course, I would love to see them find a jury in Boston that wasn't affected in some way by this event.

Best part of the article:
This is a good point. If no one sees a bomb for three weeks is this really a great response?

Boston over reacted. However. What really gets to me is that fact that these were so EASILY placed. How is it two collage kids can place GLOWING things around Boston, and not get caught until days later. What if it had been a terrorist placing explosives? The damage would have been done way before anyone reported the first device.
That being said, I think that since Boston was who played it up, it's only their fault for causing "mass distress, anxiety" .etc. Had they been quiet about it, or better yet, ID the damn things before hand, it would never turn out like this, hell, they were in other cities weeks before hand.
ATHF is the best though!

Boston officials did it again.
Only this time it was a traffic counting device put there by officials.

Side note: A Google search for this caused me to search for three pages before I found it mentioned on a news site, as opposed to the numerous blogs.
Oh wait, following a link through a blog I found another news site.
And according to this Boston found a contracting company to blame this time. How much will they extort from them I wonder? Will the employees be arrested?
And here it is:
At first glance I would have thought the Aqua Teen things were just some stupid sign but not known what they were, but I know what these are when I see them. Usually the cable running across the street is a big clue. I pass these on my way to work at least two or three times a year. Probably more without noticing.
If you plan on leaving anything laying about in Boston I suggest putting your phone number on it so you can identify it as yours.

I don't understand how this is possible, but I heard about that through word of mouth yesterday.
At work I was passing by some guy's cubicle and I saw one of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force characters on his cubicle wall. So of course we struck up a brief conversation on it, and he mentioned that "Boston just blew up a traffic counting box today" or something along those lines.
