Turnerism Scare in Beantown
The stupidest thing Ted Turner* has done since he gave $100 million to the United Nations? Here.
*Or whoever he’s allowed to do business under his name.
That would be the Zebbler, local artist Peter Berdovsky, now in custody, who claims to be working for Interference Inc., which was running TBS’ guerrilla marketing campaign. Check “past events” on this guy’s freaky website for art of the installation in question.

This has got to be one of the more egregious PR stunts on record. I wonder who the edgy marketing genius was behind this?
At the very least, Turner should be forced to pay the costs associated with shutting down large portions of a major city during a workday.

Wow, slandering Ted Turner today?
I’m surprised the wingnuts didn’t blame Iran.
Progress, I suppose.

Slandering Turner? First, I was talking about the network. Second, they admitted wrongdoing. What exactly is your problem with that, alphie?

Well,
Ted Turner plays no active role in the management of Time Warner, he’s just a shareholder.
It would be nice if the big government wingnuts showed at least a little knowledge of how capitalism is supposed to work…l

Couldn’t he have done something more traditionally stupid — like throw turkeys out of a plane?

alphie, please learn how to read. Your act has worn thin.

So what’s with the other cities and/or their citizens? So much for homeland defense being everybody’s business. But I guess it could be worse. It doesn’t sound like anyone even noticed this PR stunt and that can’t be good for TBS/Time Warner.

You think THAT was a “scare”…

Alphie doesn’t even make a good troll. Bless his heart.
I, too, wonder about the other cities. Except maybe San Francisco. Freaky stuff happens there on a regular basis.
Will Boston sue, do you think? They ought to, if the offending outfit doesn’t cut a check forthwith. Asinine and adolescent. (The ad campaign, not alphie. Well, alphie, too.)

Puh-leeze – I live in boston and beyond the fact that nobody who lives there calls it or abides it being called ‘Beantown’ they should change the name to Weenietown. The city is shut down because of a lite brite sighting? If there needed 2 B any more proof that Mumbles is retarded this is it. But it does remind me to play lite brite with my kids.
