The worst part about this whole thing? The first commentator not paying attention to the fact that the other nine cities involved have already said that they don't care, because it's a fucking LightBright. People are going to freak out about LightBrights and how this was an irresponsible ad campaign, and try to pin it on the advertisers, themselves, and they're going to look ridiculous while they do it.
Aslord_of_smoking said, this is going to be talked about in the Super Bowl commentary, and they only paid $50,000 for it? They got off cheap.
Well done, my friends. Well done.

What exactly where the advertisers trying to trick people into believing? REALLY. I'd like to know. Because calling it a hoax makes it sound like they were intentionally trying to make people think it was a terrorist attack. Which I'm pretty sure wasn't the intention at all.
The way I see it... it was just meant to be totally weird advertisements of the A.T.H.F. character the same way the freaky billboards are all over Atlanta saying weird ass things like, "I pooted" and "Clowns hate tangelos." Or the big freaky smiling faces. It's just Cartoon Network being weird.
Calling it a hoax is implying something else entirely.

And she keeps using this picture from the first day and changing what the Generic College Chick says.
