Lights Out! Get on the Radio!
An interesting few days have passed.
I don’t know how I feel about this Boston Aqua-Team/Performance Art/Guerilla Marketing situation. I initially felt that the BPD acted professionally to what they thought could have been a terrorist threat- after all a number of suspicious devices around the city could have constituted an actual danger.
On the other hand, when it turned out to be all a misunderstanding, it seemed ridiculous to press charges against two young men who had been hired by a company – the company seems liable in this situation.
My sympathy began to erode when these two fools started making ridiculous statements, like that they wanted to discuss “haircuts in the ‘70s and how they affect our lives today and how we live in the future" instead of the incident at their press conference.
Still, their media-whoring aside, perhaps Attorney General Coakley and Mayor Menino could step back for a moment, drop the charges, and chalk all this up to a post 9-11 misunderstanding.
