Extry Extry: Robot People Decimate Boston
Uh. Ok, I just don't get this. I keep hearing about how the Cartoon Network, in a madcap publicity stunt, put up a whole bunch of light boards around the city of Boston. The police were called in. The bomb squad was called in. Trains were stopped, and the entire city was, in some way or another, crippled. It has been in all of the national and international newspapers, and is being eternally commented on blogs and podcasts. And, almost overwhelmingly, the public outcry has been something to the order of: those dumbass Cartoon Network guys. How could they have been so stupid?
Huh?
If I were to see a light board with a little robot on it, measuring maybe 1.5 feet by 1.5 feet and a couple of inches thick, I am not going to assume "bomb". But, that's because I am not paranoid and do not suspect that the whole world is out to get me. Have you seen pictures of this?
The little robot appeared on sign posts and buildings. Are people so stupid as to think that a device so small as that, even if it had been filled to the brim with TNT would cause real havoc?
Thank you Cartoon Network! You have successfully completed a large-scale psychological experiment and the results are obvious: Americans are living a life of anxiety and fear. They are allowing their entire existences to be governed by paranoia and angst.
I know that people hate to hear this kind of thing, mostly because people hate hearing the ugly truth about themselves, but this sort of thing would NEVER happen here. Never. (And don't give me this feeble excuse about 9/11 either! A friends mother came here recently for a visit and said that America is still healing from 9/11. That I can understand. It still hurts for me to think about it.)
But, should I live in fear because of it? A couple of guys put up some glorified Lite Brites powered by 5 D cell batteries around Boston and it shuts the entire city down? I mean, give me a break people. Get some fucking perspective.
