Quick, call the cops. One of those shoes might have a bomb in them.
Smoke weed, it's fun.

"Sean Stevens, left, and Peter Berdovsky are charged with placing a hoax device that causes panic. They told reporters they would only answer questions about hair."
They are both artists, of course! That is so totally random and genius.

If there was a movement to send guerrilla marketers to the moon, I'd be honored to have my finger on the ground control ignition.
But I don't think it's asking too much for a bomb squad to discern shit from shinola.

definitely. couldn't have gone any better for them or comedy central, who of course are going to play the apologetic card publicly, but deep down they knew this was a very real possibility and banked on it. think of the market penetrability of this stunt, if it just "worked as planned" - it would have only hit the major urban markets - as it "blew up" (no pun intended) going "all wrong" - now every asshole from bumblefuck to europe knows about the show.
i bet the city of boston will seek damages from comedy central, which they'll be happy to pay with from the massively increased DVD sales they're about to rake in....
so even though we're sposed to feel like taxpayers money was wasted, fuck that - they're gonna get thiers and in the end everyones gonna make money on this, except a bunch of college freshmen who until now didn't know about the show. or rather, thier parents who they're still leeching from will be losing their long saved tuition money cuz of the stunt.
well played players. well played.
I couldn't have said it better.
Xxxxxtreme marketing is simultaneously the new conceptual art and the new punk rock, except with exxxtra awesomeness and not as fucking boring, you know?
It holds a middle finger (literally!) up to everything not-awesome in society. Ha ha Boston, how stupid are you? You deserved this shit.
It's like, finally! You have an edgy cartoon like Aqua Teen, and you get the edgy marketing to go with it. You know what I mean? It's edgy, but with an edge to it.
well, the only difference though is really at the end of the day, they're still shilling widgets - it isn't like this was an altruistic or purely artistic endevor. it was a brilliantly executed high concept campaign though. and as with all advertsing there is that line of creativity and artistry sticking its dick in the widget pushing.

Yeah. I think I will go back to not-posting.
It was fun, however, to have typed the words "edgy" "genius" (as in, "that's genius") and "random" all in one day.
