HAY GUYS

The best part is how the TV news blurred out the device because of the middle finger.

I don't see any on Ebay yet, but I'll bet at least a few of these signs from the other cities wind up for sale.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Instead, we get the ads that remind me of Phoenix Wright.

Motion Denied!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So Turner and the ad agency are going to pay $2 million to resolve this mess. From a PR standpoint, I guess this is the right thing to do, but honestly I wish Turner had just said, "Hey stupid, it didn't look like a terrorist device, and we're not paying for your paranoia!"

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

This little tidbit changes my opinion of the two guys that were arrested.

Surveillance cameras caught 27-year-old Peter Berdovsky videotaping officers removing what they thought was a possible bomb last week.

"Mr. Berdovsky didn't do anything inappropriate," his lawyer, Walter Prince, said Tuesday.

Prince said Berdovsky had received a call that morning from a friend who told him there was a bomb threat at a transit station. He said Berdovsky was unaware it involved one of the electronic devices that he and Sean Stevens, 28, had hung as part of a guerrilla advertising campaign for Turner Broadcasting, a division of Time Warner Inc.

"That's what he does. He videotapes things. He's a videotape freelance artist," Prince said. "When he got there, he realized what was going on, and he went back to his apartment and called his employer, and they told him they would take care of it. That's not an inappropriate response."

It's one thing to put up the signs, but it's another to sit by and videotape the chaos while the police freak out and the city shuts down. These guys deserve some jail time if that's the case.

Do you think he resigned because he felt responsible, or because of corporate pressure? Surely $2 million isn't an enormous sum for Turner, but the company seems committed to acting as contrite as possible about this whole situation, and they could have asked Samples to resign to show they're serious.

I was speaking idiomatically.
