Crappy Patties
"You got some 'splainin' to do Lucy."
Nine blinking electronic devices planted at bridges and other spots in Boston threw a scare into the city Wednesday in what turned out to be a marketing campaign for a late-night cable cartoon. At least one of the devices depicts a character giving the finger.
Highways, bridges and a section of the Charles River were shut down and bomb squads were sent in before authorities declared the devices were harmless.
It's beginning to look like they were part of a publicity campaign for a new Cartoon Network program. And there's apparently lots more of them still out there.
