Boston = Stupid
I hate to impugn an entire city, but the insane response to an Aqua Teen Hunger Force marketing prank is the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time.
They ought to fire their police chief for being an idiot and send a “Thank You” cared to Turner Broadcasting for exposing his incompetence.
UPDATE: David Weigel has a good article on the Bostonian panic.
Let’s all empty our lungs and say it: Three cheers for Peter Berdovsky and Sean Stevens.
The guys’ composure at the press conference was pretty awesome, too.
It appears Turner will pay for Menino’s inept sense of humor. I don’t think the mayor has cracked a smile in 15 years.
This is reminiscent of shock jocks Opie and Anthony being fired from WAAF in 1998 for an April Fool’s Day prank, in which they alleged Menino died in a car crash.
Nobody fucks with (or anything having to do with) Menino. He is not your average Buddy Cianci.
