The Cartoon Network show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" had some lighted signs displayed in major cities, and Boston wents nuts, claimed it was terror related, arrested the two guys hired to put up the signs. At the time, there were blogs on the net talking about the signs, so I can only guess Boston police have yet to check the net for what is happening in the world (or nation, or policing). For Cartoon Network? - Lots of free advertising! Way to go! BTW, Aqua Teen Hunger Force is an amazing satire of society - really funny shows, and the edge is they are a talking milk shake, a carton of fries, and a meatball.

Wait a sec..how does this work?
So the guys who put up a cartoon light-up-sign get arrested and the guy who actually plants "real" fake pipe bombs doesn't get arrested?
"It turns out that someone actually planted 2 fake pipe bombs. This matter is totally unrelated to the Cartoon Network advertising gone awry. But in this case, the person identified as the alleged culprit, was NOT arrested, even though these items were intended to create fear. Go figure."
Quote:
"The two devices found in an office at Tufts-New England Medical Center and attached to the Longfellow Bridge yesterday morning were not the marketing devices that sparked a daylong panic in Boston, but simulated pipe bombs, police officials said last night.
In the hospital incident, investigators believe a former hospital employee planted the phony bomb in an office at 185 Harrison Ave. He has been identified but has not been charged, the sources said.
Boston Police bomb squad cops detonated the pipe bomb, which was a very realistic-looking fake, the sources said."
