I can't believe the hissy being made out of this. Some notes of worth: 1. There must be a marketing displace between advertisers/gov't/ cities - etc....being 35 and seeing them for the past 4 months in other cities I automatically thought "TV advertising" when I first noticed the lights. 2. Turner should have notified the City or cities as common courtesy/a good neighbor. I'm not sure but it seems as though Boston would have some sort of signage [bill boards, etc] policy in their zoning ordinance that could have avoided this...if not they should adopt a policy. I guess the example of this would be the same as applying for a building permit... This whole thing is ridiculous! I can’t believe the hissy being made out of this. Some notes of worth:

Didn't the police examine any of the posted signs before shutting down the city? A real example of poor judgement. What a costly blunder.

Turner says the things have been in place for at least two weeks and they just now got noticed? Nice observational skills by the police up there. Then again, a two week ad campaign that gets no response? That may be a bigger crime. Hope they don't have a sock puppet commercial ready for the $uper bowl.

He was only inaugurated this month, and this was his first "crisis." Gov. Patrick took to the stage, only to find out he was protecting the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from Spongebob's evil cousin.
