From CNN:
"Massachusetts attorney general says Turner Broadcasting System and Interference Inc. to pay $2 million for a Cartoon Network advertising campaign that caused a widespread bomb scare."

This is the first I've heard of this.
What's wrong with LED advertising?
How can you confuse that with a bomb? Especially when it has a character on it.
I searched this on youtube and watched this. Such a stupid over-reaction:

you'd have to pay a lot more than 2mil to get on the front page of that many papers. a bargain, really.

The billboard version of this campaign was really nice. Basically the same thing but 25ft. tall with the bi-modal lighting.

No pictures, but the difference is that the billboards have "Adult Swim" in brackets in the lower right corner. So you atleast have some idea what the hell the thing is.

Ironically, most of those smaller mooninites were placed near the larger billboards as sort of a 'follow-up' campaign.

So the city of Boston went into unneccesaary histronics over this? How is it different from the average Red Sox fan?
