Sean Stevens and Peter Berdovsky are my new personal heros. These two pled not guilty today to charges that they placed "hoax devices" in Boston after putting up what look like 80s style Lite Brites around Boston to advertise for an Adult Swim cartoon. An element of this offense is that they had to intend to incite panic, which they were clearly not doing if they were putting them up because they are employees of an advertising agency/marketing firm.
In a news conference after they posted bail, they were accused of not taking the situation seriously when they told reports they would only answer questions about 70s style hair cuts. They responded that they were taking it very seriously. When asked another question not involving hair, they said the reporters were obviously not taking them seriously for asking a question that did not involve hair.
Besides the hair questions, my favorite part of the story on cnn quotes Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley as saying as saying these lite bright cartoon characters, "it had a very sinister appearance, it had a battery behind it, and wires." WTF. Do we call the cops on everything we see with batteries and wires? If so my office should be swarming with the closest SWAT team.
