It's a comedy show. And a popular one at that. I think, although it's wonderful that they quickly handled a situation that they thought was a problem, that this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Boston is a college city. Guaranteed 80% of the people who saw those boxes knew that they had seen the character before.
If they want to punish someone, make Time Warner pay for the all of the fees for the operation of cleaning up and "testing" the boxes. These guys didn't do anything wrong ... and of course they are laughing!!! I would be too! It's ridiculous. What makes it even more funny is that it's Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They didn't mean to make people think they were bombs... as was stated... the boxes had been in place in other cities as well.
Time Warner, of course, will not be charged, but they should step up to the plate on this one. These guys don't deserve jail time for something so stupid. Jail time is to punish people for serious crimes. Fine them, fine Time Warner and move on.
I'm disappointed in Boston. But.... I guess.. 7 years ago this wouldn't have even gotten airtime outside of the city.
