Bomb hoax bozos/Interference Inc./TBS kept this car crash victim waiting 31 minutes for transport. Good thing it wasn’t fatal. Sounds like pain and suffering to me. Boston Herald:
The man had been hit by a car on Hallett Street in Dorchester at 4:17 p.m. – as Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis were preparing for a press conference on the Mooninite prank – but was not transported to the hospital until a private ambulance arrived at the scene of the accident 31 minutes later.
By then, the Boston Fire Department had stabilized him, according to a police report. Emergency Medical Services units had been dispatched around the city as part of the overall response to the scares.
But the incident was one that enraged Boston City Council members, who spent much of yesterday’s council hearing discussing the toll the guerrilla marketing campaign had on the city. The publicity stunt used light-up cartoon panels with hanging wires and a battery pack to promote an upcoming Cartoon Network flick.
“The issue here is that precious city resources were drained,” said City Councilor Michael Flaherty. “We had citizens of this city waiting for an ambulance because EMS was tied up in an emergency response that turned out to be a fraud.”
I wouldn’t want to be a heart attack victim in an ambulance trying to get to Mass General in the traffic tie-ups these guys caused either. That would be a bad hair day.

It’s all a big joke to these two over-aged adolescents (note that Mommy had to bail out the one). It won’t be so funny, though, if Babyboy goes to jail and the other one gets deported back to his garbage-dump country.
