    BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Electronic light boards featuring an adult-cartoon character triggered bomb scares around Boston on Wednesday, spurring authorities to close two bridges and a stretch of the Charles River before determining the devices were harmless.
    Turner Broadcasting Co., the parent company of CNN, said the devices contained harmless magnetic lights aimed at promoting the Adult Swim network's late-night cartoon "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." Law enforcement sources said the devices displayed one of the Mooninites, outer-space delinquents who appear frequently on the show, greeting visitors with a raised middle finger.
    "While the concern is lessened as a result of the investigation, I'd like to remind citizens to treat any suspicious devices with care and to call 911 if any such device is found," Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said.
    The devices had been placed as part of an "outdoor marketing campaign" in 10 cities, a Turner Broadcasting statement said.
    "Parent company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards," the statement said. "We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger."
    Turner said the devices had been in place for two to three weeks in Boston; New York; Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; Atlanta, Georgia; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Austin, Texas; San Francisco, California; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
    A Turner Broadcasting source said the devices were a component of a third-party advertising campaign conducted by the New York advertising firm Interference Inc. That company had no comment on the incident.
    The discovery of nine of the devices around metro Boston led state, local and federal authorities to close the Boston University and Longfellow Bridges, and block boat traffic from the Charles River to Boston Harbor.
    In addition, the Pentagon said U.S. Northern Command was monitoring the situation from its headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but said none of its units were sent to assist.
    Davis said police "are going to fully investigate this and get to the bottom of it."
    The first suspicious device turned up Wednesday morning at the Sullivan Square commuter rail station, near the suburb of Somerville. Wednesday afternoon four other devices were reported -- near the Longfellow and Boston University bridges over the Charles, at New England Medical Center and near the intersection of Stuart and Columbus avenues in the city.
    Three others turned up in other locations around Boston as well, Davis said.

    True but most of this shits such a lie. 9/11 was completely planned by the government. The CIA protected Bin Laden and they know where he is why do we get videos of him every 3 months saying this or that. Also knowing he and his buddies are in the Asian opium trade. He's a normal rich super religious muslim not a crazy phyco. I mean come on remember a few days after 9/11 alot of people at least where I live thought it was Lybia or something that did it or Iran and then we come up with on CNN a video of Osama (Usama really) told the U.S. he did the attacks and everything. Come on we knew the guy for years and worked with him. So he just claims to a superpower that we did this and knowing the country was gonna come to Afghansitan and rip the al queda to pieces. BULLSHIT. I mean would you admit to murdering over a 1,000 people. No not even one person, you would go to trial and defend yourself, or in Bin Laden's case not admit. The government also threated the FBI with jail time if caused any disruption of 9/11 like saying its all planned and shit. We can work for security but the whole microchip is completely immoral to our freedom in my view. Rather have us focus on border, air transport, and immigrants then having 300,000,000 people implanted with pin tip size microchips. Whatever the whole terrorist thing is real but it ain't serious like they want you to think of it. I remember they use to teach us in like 8-9th grade when it happened that the terrorist belived in reincarnation and they are really just muslims...... Whatever I'm just very worried on our progessing future.

    Wow, I really hope you are just so incredibly stoned you don't even know what you just wrote.

    Anyways, they actually arrested the poor guy who was in charge of setting up the ads in Boston. I can't believe they thought these lightup signs were BOMBS. Goes to show how quick people are to react in fear.
