"BOSTON (Reuters) - A television network's marketing campaign went
badly awry on Wednesday, causing a day-long security scare in Boston
that closed bridges, shut major roads and put hundreds of police on
alert.
Apologizing for Boston's biggest security alert since the September 11
attacks more than five years ago, Turner Broadcasting said it had
placed electronic devices at bridges and other spots to promote an
animated cartoon.
Police mistook the small, battery-powered electronic billboards as
possible improvised bombs.

The discovery of the first one on a bridge led police to stop morning
rush-hour traffic on an interstate highway just north of Boston, halt
a busy train line, cordon off the area and deploy a bomb squad, which
blew it up.
By afternoon, at least nine more of the "suspicious" devices were
found. Authorities mobilized emergency crews, federal agents, bomb
squads, hundreds of police and the U.S. Coast Guard as traffic froze
in parts of the city.
The billboards, encased in dark plastic, consisted of blinking lights
wired to an electronic circuit board to project an animated cartoon
image in an outdoor promotion for a show on Turner's Cartoon Network
called "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."
"The 'packages' in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger,"
Turner Broadcasting System Inc., a unit of Time Warner Inc., said"

Yea, when I first saw one of the devices I thought "IT'S A LIGHT BRITE!".
That being said it is now being reported that the people who planted the
"light brites" had put them up days ago and they weren't being noticed SO
they decided to call in a threat to the police. If that story pans out to
be true then they are in deep doo doo.
I do love Aqua Teen though! hahaha The movie comes out in March.

I've quit watching TV or reading the paper. I do, however listen for the
sound of the drums echoing through the canyons at night and the bugling of
the spirit elk. They tell me what I must do.

They put these things under bridges, and in subway stations. It's no funnier
than yelling fire in a theater. It's a publicity stunt that should have
happened. If this is OK, some body will take it farther and something serious
could happen. The short answer to you question is no, there are people in
this world that are terrorist and really do want to kill us. This prank
wasn't cool or funny.

Personally, I'd be a little concerned about the source of the wind...
(especially with two adolescents in the house!!!)
