Seriously, Does that look like a bomb?
No, it doesn't. Which is what makes the people quoted in this article sound completely stupid:
.... Uhm.... no?"It’s clear the intent was to get attention by causing fear and unrest that
there was a bomb in that location,” Assistant Attorney General John Grossman
said at their arraignment.

"It is outrageous, in a post 9/11 world, that a company would use this type
of marketing scheme,” Mayor Thomas Menino said Wednesday. “I am prepared to take any and all legal action against Turner Broadcasting and its affiliates for any
and all expenses incurred during the response to today’s incidents.”
Conversely these men are freaking brilliant. Seriously, they are my heros. And how pretentious do those journalists sound, could we have LESS of a sense of humor! Just try a bit, maybe we could even be less interesting.
I hope that Turner Broadcasting doesn't cave to this completely ridiculous attempt to cover for a government that is overreacting. I mean, who is really trying to scare the public here? The people trying to advertise their show, or the government who is jumping at shadows?

While Turner might not cave in, I think they might give the Adult Swim crew a bit of a lecture. But I hope I'm wrong on the lecture bit.
Agreed. The media and the politicos are over reacting, again. But fear is good for ratings and for keeping the public in line so it's really shouldn't come as a surprise.
Now the terrorists know to incorporate some logos or animation in their real bombs and we'll all ignore them... ;)
