Sorry, but I think they gave one of the most impressive press conferences I have seen a long, long time. First, they ran the press conference. They didn't let the press run it. That in itself was enough to anger the press...who later touted them as "mockers." It was interesting to see CNN, Fox, and MSNBC start to listen to what they had to say. As they began talking about 70s haircuts..........I think it just threw them into a headspin as they couldn't figure out what was going on. I myself was impressed that Stevens and Berdovsky stayed their course and did not give into the reporters questions. The anchor from CNN said, as she went to commmercial break "I am not sure what that was."
They had been hired by a marketing firm, Interference Inc., which had been hired by Turner Broadcasting. They placed 38 of the devices on buildings, under bridges and in other spots around Boston, and each earned $300. The devices, featured flashing lights in the shape of a character from the cartoon show “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.” The devices had been placed in ten other cities around the country. None reacted like Boston.
So, just how efficent is Boston's "terrorist" team? I have doubts about one that could shut down a great portion of the city because of a toy with batteries. I predict the city of Boston will pursue a lawsuit against Turner Broadcasting because they know they can. And, if they don't, it would be admission that they messed up. Police Commissioner Edward F Davis is not likely to let that happen.
