Corporate Graffiti shut down in Boston



Corporate graffiti got out of control for Boston, as they mistook Turner Broadcasting's Aqua Teen Hunger Force character for a bomb or some other type of threat. We see in this video that it's just some dudes playing around with LED lights. I think this will be one of many "scares" to come about as government tries to catch up with policing technology and graffiti. Sounds like a big ticket fine to me.

Turner will be having to pay at least the cost of emergency services used for the day. The two artists stand on trial for deliberately causing a panic, we'll see how that goes. The guerrila advertising and marketing company which hired them has been shamed into taking down its website, with only an apology online. See it here.
