2 mil ? I'd say he got a pretty good return on his marketing dollar

No.
I meant what I wrote.

I'd give them a year just for being the idiotic clowns that they are.

Find video of their arraignment.
Keep in mind they are purportedly almost thirty years old.


Apparently, life being one big Wii is OK, now.

Is it your contention Paul, that a Lite Brite can't be wired up?

This could probably have been avoided if the guys hadn't put them on overpasses etc, and just stuck them in the usual places for advertising, like bus shelters.

I wonder what they paid for the original ad campaign, I think it's a bad sign when Joe-Sixshooter can't figure out what the ad is advertising, or that it even is an ad.

Also, since the cops seem to think that anything with a battery and blinking lights near a road is a bomb, they should start checking out all of the flashing lights on construction barriers.

I'd be curious to see pictures of actual unexploded bombs that have been found by bomb squads. I suspect that they don't look anything like the Hollywood depiction with blinking lights, beeps, color coded wires, and brightly lit digital countdown timer displays.

I was really looking forward to the trial for this one, just to see the expert testimony on both sides.

HAARUMPH!

Lock 'em up for being irreverent? Mmmkay. How much time should you serve for being a rigid old fuddy-duddy?

This settlement is sofa king we todd ed. No hoax was ever intended, the two guys are only guilty of a misunderstood ad campaign that was never directed to the misunderstandees in the first place. Frell Turner Broadcasting for rolling over on this - they are contributing to the decline of our civilization by capitulating to such nonsense. All that will be left is lawyers and roaches.

Let's see - the cities incurred about 500K in expenses so they are compensated 1 million
plus another million as a goodwill gestures.

That's what they call Curley math in Boston

I don't know where this first appeared but...

"I look out the window, take leave of my senses, and see a monster. Later, I look out the window and see that it wasn't a monster but a tree. The tree did not perpetuate a hoax on me."
