ATHF's popularity just, fucking, skyrocketed. everyone at work was talking about it, hell, my parents are laughing about it and they pass out 3 hours before the show even comes on.

I think Boston should just suck it up and take the shit that gets thrown at them.
Actually they may not be completely free and clear. It is reported that the marketing company told the two guys not to say anything once all hell was breaking loose. Id say that was a pretty dumb move. Whether turner didnt say anything once they knew, i have no idea.

The same stunt was done in several other cities as well, yet Boston practically shut down over it...what does that say about Boston citizens????
Yeah, that's what the news said last night. I can't understand why there's STILL a big fuss over this. The paranoid Boston people should just go "oops" and go back to doing regular things.

Yeah, some outlets are apparently also reporting that those two phoned in bomb threats themselves. Yeah...right...

I don't know what the deal is with it but they really don't have to tell the cops or the media anything.

a lot of stuff that i've read from people in boston, with the exception of TNT's comments, seem to side with the officials. On one hand you have to hand it to the cops for acting so quickly, but on the other hand they went WAY to far.

And had the media not run amuck with the story, Boston wouldn't be looking so damn stupid right now on a national level.

They're either going to get wrongfully boned over this, or will turn around and sue anyone they possibly can for the potentially wrongful arrest charges.

That's my theory at least.
