terror lite







As someone who works both in marketing and as a Police Officer, I'm fascinated by the whole story of Boston Lite Brite-gate. So a company hangs Lite Brite signs of a cartoon character around cities all over America, and after being up for two or three weeks, someone in Boston notices them and shuts down the city in a terror alert!! I don't know who looks more stupid - the Boston and Massachusetts authorities or the news media. The breathless non-stop coverage was classic. Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley told CNN: "It had a battery behind it! ...and WIRES!" So does my computer.

Note to Boston authorities: that big lit up triangle over Fenway - it, too, is just a lit up sign. No need for panic.

As a bonus, the link below is to your own online Lite Brite - perfectly safe. Play all you want, but keep it indoors so it doesn't get mistaken for a WMD. Maybe we invaded Iraq because Saddam had Lite Brites?
