Turner's Boston Fiasco

What's a light-board and why is it scary?

 

Because it had wires and batteries straped to it.

 

I wonder if anyone thought of just calling a bomb squad to check them out.

Naaahhh. More fun to panic and cause a major flap and inconvenience everyone.

I suspect most of the outrage is embarassment by the powers that be, for being such idots.

 

I think you summed it up in a nutshell. :laugh:

 

Ok, it has batteries & wires, but what is a light-board?

 

A board with lights:laugh:

Check out the link HERE to see a picture. WARNING: The cartoon-like object is making a not-nice gesture...so I didn't post it.

 

Thanks for the link.

 

2800 people were murdered one day in N.Y.C., on planes stolen from Boston. As a resident of Massachusetts at the time, I can tell you the entire state was ashamed. All you people calling them idiots best believe they don't want it to happen again.

Kudos to the Boston authorities.

 

For what? It was Bush's decision to shut down monitoring of Saudi nationals in the US. Massachusetts had nothing to do with that.

So panicking over little cartoon figures in light boxes is going to prevent another hijacking? How so? Common sense is still a useful concept, especially in moments like this one.

I suppose if it's worth overreacting, it's worth hysterically overreacting.

 

Maybe the light boxes were just a distraction and while everyone was busy trying to detonate them, the terrorists were able to board a plane with a bottle of water!

 

:applause: :laugh:

 

The boxes were about 1 inch think total and are not much more than modified lite brights. They were mostly placed on fronts of buildings about 8 to 10 feet off the ground and lit up at night and turned off when the sun came up. They could be easily seen during the day. You didn't have to open anything.

They had also been up for THREE weeks before all the hub bub started. Glad to see the geniuses in Boston are so observant.

Geurilla marketing has been around for a long time, but it was mostly used by the "little guy" trying to find a way to compete with all the billions of dollars spent on marketing by big business. It is basically non-conventional ways of advertising. The big guys finally realized how effective it is and are now spending millions on their own "geurilla marketing". Has nothing to do with the news media, liberal or otherwise.

Google "geurilla marketing fims" and a whole host of companies pop up.

 

OK, so they are there for 3 WEEKS and everyone is just now losing their minds about them!!! This would hilarious if it weren't so sad that an entire city goes nuts about this. Me thinks they received way more publicity in the panic then if someone just took the light-brights down.

Hello, did anyone think about just taking the boxes down?

Did you see the press conference of the two guys arrested, for what I don't know? They talked about hair cuts.
