Pranks A Lot
The bizarre “Hair” interview the guerrilla marketers insisted on giving outside the courthouse yesterday wasn’t art babble. It was more guerrilla marketing. Doh. Your average 16-30-year-old adult swim viewer would have picked it up in seconds but it took us old farts a little longer to figure it out. Dadblasted young whippersnappers.
Meanwhile, TBS (emphasis on the BS) will pay Boston for the emergency response. The amount hasn’t been settled on, but it won’t be close to what that kind of massive coast-to-coast advertising saturation would have cost the normal way. Good thing the cops didn’t kill anyone enroute to the faux emergencies. Happens.

First, Turner (the corporation not the person, alphie you twit) should have notified the authorities that they were doing this. Second, somebody should have given second thought to the notion that Boston was the point of departure for a couple of 9/11 terrorist cadres, thereby marking the city as particularly interesting to that “demographic”. Third, Adult Swim fans are not all post-children, and those who aren’t are inhabitants of the real world. Fourth, Cartoon Network needs to acknowledge this and hire some employees who graduated high school later than 2001.

Are they going to compensate me for the 2 hours I lost in the traffic jam they created?
Multiply that by 3 million, and we’ll be close to being made whole.
This ass needs to be sent back to the Belarus. Lukashenko knows how to deal with people like him.

That freakshow with the long dreadlocks looked like he crawled out from under a rock. Ugh. I felt dirty like I needed a shower after watching him on tv. Ugh…
