Incase you haven't heard, today bridges, highways, and a subway station all had to be shut down and closed off in order for police to respond to a report of 9 suspicious packages. These suspicious packages were thought to be IED detonators, and were blown up by police forces. It wasn't until later that they realized that this was just a hoax, and even more enfuriating, the suspicious packages were planted there by a well-known company... yes, Turner Broadcasting, the parent company for Cartoon Network. The devices were a part of a marketing ploy for the show Aqua Teen Hunger Force, a late-night cartoon that airs on their channel. Although the devices were just magnetic lights, some had wires hanging off of them and looked somewhat like circuit boards.
Now my question is... did Cartoon Network go too far? I know I think so...
And what the heck were they thinking?
