Trying not to laugh

liz_marcs brings the awesome news that in Boston, Turner Broadcasting managed to bring the entire city to a halt as part of a promotional campaign for a new show that the police thought was a bomb scare hoax! Genius. Bet the people of Boston are really keen to watch that show now. tnh has more links and comment at makinglight.

Um, my apologies to those Bostonites stuck up in the mess for my inability to take it seriously. I do still applaud your innovative use for the awful substance known as tea though.

ETA: apology withdrawn, I missed the bit that said a) they've been up for weeks and got noticed today and b) they're in NINE OTHER US cities without any problems whatsoever... Well done Boston there...
