You Keep Using That Word…

Last night at 10:00 we ended up watching the Fox 25 coverage of the silly guerilla marketing scheme gone awry.  It was just too entertaining to turn off, and not merely because Menino was at his mumbliest.  And when will Boston elect a mayor who can at least disguise what an idiot he is?  But I digress.

They kept calling it “HOAX.” It was even in their we-have-clever-graphics-people-to-stay-late-at-times-like-this news event logo.

No.

It was not a hoax.

It was not a prank.

It was stupid marketing meme meets paranoia.  The kind of paranoia the stupid marketing people ought have taken into account, even if they stayed blind to the low quality of the scheme due to its excessive inside-joke nature.

This will all be over when the president of TBS flies to Boston in person today, apologizes in person, and hands the city a hefty check to cover costs and selective amnesia.  Not to mention the poor guy they arrested being sprung with charges dropped, because the wording of what they charged him with is not what he did and the case will be thrown out or won, depending on the court.  Much like it was patently unconstitutional to take Kelo"s property, so the city lost in the first court it went before because we pay judges to know things like the Constitution and stuff.  Oh wait…

Come on TBS, do the right thing, make it go away.  You know you can.  And fire those innovative marketing people.  Hire some smarter innovative marketing people.

At any rate, I don’t want to see or hear the word “hoax” in reference to the incident ever again.  It stings.  It burns.  Augh…
