This is shameful. My brother was a bomb squad tech in the Air Force. Those guys are under unimaginable stress as it is and now latte sipping advertising assholes want to plant fake bombs throughout major cities.
The only reason that this campaign gained traction is BECAUSE of so many peoples fear of terrorist bombs. If there wasn't the fear, who knows if this would have worked. So now it's good advertising to capitalize on someones fear of imminent death? Or jam people up on the freeway while they blow up someones 'ad campaign' to render it safe?

(Jan 31 07, 15:44)'You're a complete idiot. You're the guy that when someone talks about a stupid ad you pipe up and say 'Well you're talking about it now aren't you, so they did their job!' If I threw warm runny shit in your face infront of 30 people, they'd all tell at least 5 people what they just saw ... so how many people would have been enveloped into my campaign = 180 people would think I'm an asshole, but they'd be talking about me...so that's successful! I'm now a successful asshole!! KICK ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! That means that they'll all come to my birthday party right fucko?

the individuals obviously responsible for this fiasco are the current administration and the media that breed this culture of fear in the name of funneling taxpayer dollars into bullshit homeland security and the like.

estimated 1 million spent in time and resources by the City of Boston
aside from all the marketing BS, it's a good trial run for the security people, and maybe it'll lead to a better approach to traffic and hysteria management once we're dealing with real threats.

Governments don't learn. They just pass the buck, and pass the blame.

that guy answers all sorts of questions about the authenticity of the thing he's got up on ebay, but nobody asked him how he got his hands on it!? Why does this dude have one when the rest of them caused mayhem?
he wants to take the money he makes and break it up into micro-grants for public art projects. that's pretty cool (if he follows through).

apparently some were planted a couple weeks ago and went largely unnoticed. some lucky few individuals that found them were able to just make off with em

this story will spawn a world-wide trend in public/underground art that flirts with the real and surreal fears around terrorism and weapons of mass destruction
copycats are gearing up at this very moment.

Lesson to be drawn:
A) If I was a determined terrorist wanting to strike the US I'd should disguise my bombs as clever marketing material, where it will go unnoticed for weeks in 9 out of 10 major american cities.B) I know full well that will not happen.
C) Because this War on Terror, like the War on Drugs, is a fucking joke and the only one that wins is the Law Enforecement agencies budget.

right on blue -
we are so unavoidably susceptible to terror attacks, and anyone who thinks we're ever going to beat the threat with increased security is whacko.
major (and sincere) policy change may do some good after a decade or two, but otherwise, welcome to the new world order.
we're creating our own terrorism right here at home by flipping out over an art project. who needs the Islamic fundamentalists?
