Who Can Say "Ridiculous"?

From associatedcontent.com:

On Wednesday, January 31, 2007, police arrested two people in Boston after an ad campaign went wrong. The two had put up blinking signs, of Spongebob-looking square characters with his middle finger up, for an advertising gimmick for the Cartoon Network show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force. In Boston, the signs were investigated as terrorist explosive devices which sent the city into a panic.

The signs were put up in nine cities across the country but, other than in Boston, it barely caused a stir.

The two men (Peter Berdovsky, 27, and Sean Stevens, 28), who were paid to place the devices, pleaded not guilty Thursday to placing a hoax device and disorderly conduct. They were released on $2,500 cash bond, face up to five years in prison.

Some people got to the devices before police and at least seven were for sale Thursday afternoon on eBay, ranging in price from $500 to $2,100.

Seattle authorities thought the devices were "obviously not suspicious."

People don't need to be concerned about this. These are cartoon characters giving the finger.

The devices had been up for two weeks around the country and the network had not received any calls about them.
