>Hard to believe this little placard caused the complete and total downfall of CN.

Explain how, I remember that day but I didn't follow the consequences.

>>95324247
I think it was more of a generational thing. Everyone under 35 with an internet connection knew AS was promoting the ATHF movie with light bright boards. No city official knew what the hell it was even depicting until an intern pointed it out.

>>95324362

It really captures that post 9/11 paranoia and manages to be really funny at the same time.

>>95324362
Old CN exec, Jim Samples, resigned over the bomb scare. Then came in Snyder and CN Real, and the rest is history.

>>95324362
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_Mooninite_panic
The tl;dr
>dumbass bostonites/southies call police thinking mooninites are bombs
>false alarm it was just AS doing a little stunt to promote the ATHF movie
>AS refuses to apologize for the shitstorm they caused
>Jim Samples steps down from and is replaced by Snyder

>>95324407
Oh shit, I always though it had only been a slap on the wrist. Didn't they joke on the AS bumpers about it a few weeks later?

Post-9/11 was a surreal time to be alive. Everyone was tripping over each other to be the most paranoid.

Every time I hear someone talk about how the country is going mad I realize that person is either underage or has the memory of a goldfish.

>>95324407
Why does everyone named Snyder ruin everything they touch?

>>95324409
Serves them right for littering in one of the cleanest American cities. Save that trash for Jew York or Chinkcouver.

>>95324175
How did it cause the downfall, I understand the bomb threat and Jim Samples resigning. But how did either of those things ruin CN

>>95324464
Well now were more poltically divided and at the brink of civil war so were atleast as bad now but for different reasons

You know, people from Boston like to say "Boston Strong" because of how tough they are, but really they're all a bunch of quivering pussies.

>>95324175
Why does Boston suck ass? I mean nothing good ever comes out of that shit hole. The people are shits holes. Hell their history is a shit hole.

Why would people think bomb when they see a moonite?

>>95325184
>After the devices were removed, the Boston Police Department stated in their defense that the ad devices shared "some characteristics with improvised explosive devices," which they said included an "identifiable power source, a circuit board with exposed wiring, and electrical tape."

basically theyre morons who assumed that something they cant identify is dangerous.
you gotta remember how scared everybody in major american cities was.
everyone thought their city would be the next ground zero.

I always thought it was dumb CN didn't just outright deny they had anything to do with this. This could very likely have been a prank pulled by some dumb ass teenager, but yes, let's admit to career ending scandals instead

>>95325220
Oh wow.

>>95324780
Back Bay looks REALLY nice tho

>>95325220
>basically theyre morons who assumed that something they cant identify is dangerous.
I can tell you've never worked in a crowded building or important area.

Last year someone called the bomb squad in because they found an unidentified bag with a tin box in it at the building I used to work at.

>>95325255
they wouldve been found out and it wouldve been an even bigger scandal

potentially ending CN

copping to your shenanigans and making your CEO step down is the american way

>>95325255
Because they paid guys to put the Mooninite stuff there, and those guys would probably get mad if CN tried to place to blame on them. CN would just get into more trouble if they pretended they didn't do anything.

>>95325220
And then no one caught the real bomb years later even though they had the bombers in their system. How sad.

>>95324633
>There are people who actually believe this

Yeah yeah, we're gonna have another Civil War and Holocaust 2: Electric Boogaloo is coming summer 2018.

>>95325287
you proved my point anon

i guess im assuming youre talking about an event in the US though
are you?

>>95325255
Are you fucking 5? Even children know that if you're caught red-handed denying you did something wrong will just dig you into a deeper hole.

They paid people specifically to do this, with paper work and everything. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been if CN just flat out denied doing this?

>>95324247
>People on the East don't watch AS

The guy who came in after Jim Samples was the one who decided cartoons weren't going to sell anymore and tried converting the channel to a live action kid's network like Disney Channel. It took years to recover from that mess.

That was hardly his worst crime.

But wasn't it going downhill before this happened?

By 2005-2006, creators like Genndy and the Megas XLr guys left, because the excess didn't want them there anymore. And what we got in place of great cancelled shows like Samurai Jack and Megas XLR was total and utter like Squirrel Boy, My Gym Partner is a Monkey and Camp Lazlo. This was BEFORE the 2007 bomb scare

>>95325220
One of the perks of growing up in the Rust Belt was knowing that the terrorists would never bother your formerly relevant skeleton of a city. There was, of course, the random gunfire, the muggings, the drive by gunfire, the roads collapsing due to the decrepit sewer system, the drive by muggings, and the vehicular homicide. But that stuff isn't scary, because it's not done by terrorists.

>>95325655
No. Americans are just that paranoid.

No, CN shot themselves in the foot when they decided to re-run TTG non-stop while NOT airing their original two flagship shows, Adventure Time and Regular Show, to the point where they pretty much farted out the RS finale without any promotional build up. Now, AT did become home to experimental SJW web comic artists looking to turn the show into nothing but "feels" rather than adventure, but that was not CN's fault. They put their trust in Ward who led them astray.

Marvel on the other hand, totally fell for the "Tumblr/Twitter wants this/that!" meme.

>>95324175
Yes, because everything was perfect before. CN and all the live action movies that tested the water for CN Real. All those JLU reruns that never actually happened. Third-party shows barely existing. Anime phased out. The good old days.

Are people really this sheltered? You have different protesting for different things and sporadic small scale riots at worst, look at Venezuela for a country thats actually on the brink of civil war and arguably already is on civil war.

When you have large groups of people beating each other, armed protestors and police killing each other on the streets and in general people dying you can say you are on the brink of civil war, America is just filled with retards trying to make every meaningless thing political.

>>95333708

yeah because the neo nazis and white supremacists are so nice and friendly in comparison. they just happen to think Jews are the children of Satan is all, no danger there whatsoever.

fuck off back to /pol/ you moron. and no, just because I dislike nazis doesn't mean I'm a fan of BLM or Antifa. In my eyes they're all equally retarded and shitty. Anyone who needs to apply a label to their ideas is a sheep and playing into the distraction game.
