Aqua Teen Ad Campaign Deemed "Bomb Hoax," Half of Boston Shut Down

Another guy was arrested last night. Unreal. The city really is in full cover-your-ass mode.

The Boston Globe:
"
Last night, in Arlington, police arrested Peter Berdovsky , 27, an artist originally from Belarus, who told the Globe earlier in the day that he installed the signs for an ad firm hired by Turner Broadcasting. Berdovsky, who described himself as " a little kind of freaked out," faces up to five years in prison on charges of placing a hoax device in a way that causes panic and disorderly conduct.

Attorney General Martha Coakley's office announced late last night that a second suspect, Sean Stevens, 28, of Charlestown, had been arrested in the case about 11:30 p.m. Like Berdovsky, Stevens was charged with placing a hoax device and disorderly conduct. Both suspects are scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. today in Charlestown District Court, said Coakley's office.

What kills me is the way the keep refering to it as a Hoax.

Doesnt a hoax require someone planting something and then saying "Hey...there is a bomb in the city" ?

As far as I can tell its just some stupid MTA employee who called in that there was a circuitboard and batteries hanging on the bridge.

Lame and a half.
Terrorists win on this one.

Precisely. Under their definition, a kid accidentally leaving their backpack on the school bus would be a "bomb hoax".

Haha, truth. It seems the city of Boston was responsible for the hoax. The signs themselves were literally what they were, marketing, construed by idiots.
