Comments on: Any publicity is good publicity, right? http://www.lostremote.com/2007/01/31/any-publicity-is-good-publicity-right/ Where TV Finds the Future Wed, 09 Jul 2008 12:50:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: David Martin http://www.lostremote.com/2007/01/31/any-publicity-is-good-publicity-right/#comment-160212 David Martin Fri, 02 Feb 2007 14:07:23 +0000 http://www.lostremote.com/2007/01/31/any-publicity-is-good-publicity-right/#comment-160212 The response of the Boston police is clearly an anomaly when viewed in the context of all the DMAs involved. This leads me to question whether the Boston "street team" spiked the stunt after days of failing to get attention. My sense is someone went over the line in Boston and somehow got the attention of Boston police in a manner that demanded an immediate or at least a serious and guarded response.

No one seemed to notice the things for what they were- marketing objects. ( Part of that might've had something to do with the fact that an MIT freshman could've come up with a better power supply for them...) I agree with Charley, all involved failed.

Whether they were bombs or advertising, the authorities AND the Cartoon Network promotions department failed at their jobs. The mysterious boxes were in place for a few weeks before all this started.

Now I'm starting to think Boston over-reacted just a little bit to these dangerous "Lite Brites." It's not like these things looked like a bunch of red sticks tied together with duct tape and with a clock stuck on them. At first, I was on the “hang Turner” bandwagon.

Now how many do? Before today, how many people knew what a "mooninite" was? Now how many do? Stupid idea? Yes. Unbelievable over-reaction to it? Yes again. PR success? Most definitely. Like it or not. Before today, how many people heard of ATHF? Now how many do? Before today, how many people knew what a “mooninite” was? Now how many do?

Stupid idea? Yes. Unbelievable over-reaction to it? Yes again. PR success? Most definitely. Like it or not.
