 Ok, so I'll play devil's advocate here....
 I get the fact that Boston totally overreacted to all of this, and they certainly looked kind of foolish.  But at the same time, if you or I went around sticking electronic boxes on bridges in cities, we would get put through the ringer.  These guys can smile and laugh it off, because they have a media empire and a fleet of lawyers behind them.
 
 And it also isn't fair to say well it was OBVIOUSLY just a cute hoax, it was OBVIOUSLY just ATHF.  What % of Americans had ever heard of that cartoon before this happened?  This board might be the target demographic for ATHF, but most folks have no idea what a Moonite giving the finger means.  It could be from the Koran!
 
 I also believe this is precisely what these guys wanted to have happen.  You can't even have bbq on your street without a permit in most cases, so should we believe these guys thought it was legit to stick these random boxes up in public places?
