Chapter 56.1: Morons in Marketing

What idiot decided that placing faux pipe bombs in several U.S. cities was a good idea? Placing fears of terrorism aside -- if you can -- how could anyone think this was a good idea? Is there no sense anymore? Was there anyone in that marketing department who spoke up and said, "You know, it's obvious to you and me in the office that these are fake, but place this blinky thing under a bridge in Boston, where it's cold and people aren't going to look too closely for the cartoon image, and we might have a problem. I mean, people are told to run away from bombs, not peek at them to determine whether it's related to a cable TV show."

I hope the next meeting for that marketing department is in a holding cell -- or better yet, prison. Fire the person who was responsible for this! Fire them all!
