I enjoyed the movie.
I joke. I have profoundly fond memories of Chicago. It was there that I first attended a Socialist Party Convention, back in 1990, at age 18. Took a fucking Greyhound Bus, too, which is NOT FUN. But I met amazing people and had a blast. This was before social phobia made it impossible to function in public for more than a few hours at a time.
I also gave my first Socialist speech in Chicago, to a group of about 50 intellectuals. I also had amazing sex with a woman I met on the "waterfront." I don't even remember her name. It could have been Scorrs' mother for all I know.
So Chicago is, in my book, a wonderful city. Milwaukee, too, for strange reasons, although the worst pizza I ever had was in Milwaukee.
I even love NYC...tough to dismiss a whole city. But some cities just have a vibe that my fat ass can dance to, Chicago is one of them.
I despise the country, though.
We need to get you to Boston, though, my friend. The booze and weed is on me.
It's like that in any city, and I think the comments were made because people love to talk shit. Honestly I think it kind of makes them look bad. At least Boston did something. Like you said it was pretty dumb to place those things the way they did, and not only that to not inform the police in a climate like we live in today. That was just asking for trouble. Gorilla Marketing is a touchy thing. Just stencils, a big costumed comedy sketch, or some well placed posters alone is risky. Throwing around some nondescript electronic devices with blinking lights sound genius to a marketing firm, but in reality it's moronic. I don't think city officials watch aqua teen, and making the assumption that they'd "get it" was stupid.
Haha, don't diss Chicago. It's my favorite city, and the art community there is highly respected world wide. I even like Chicago more than London. For me it's the most down to earth big city around. I'm a nomad, and it takes a lot to make me homesick, but I do miss that city. I like being in a place that isn't always tarring itself down and rebuilding. It's nice to be somewhere that appreciates and knows how to build on what's worth keeping around.
All it takes is one person. And then there is the issue that in Boston, the placement was done stupidly. Boston looms like a colossus above the fat turd cities you mentioned, so their disses mean nothing. I've been to Chicago...it's a quaint, adorable little burg. :)
You should read the comments that Chicago and LA made about that event. They totally dissed boston. They didn' look like a threat so we left them up is pretty much what they said. Burn!
Whoever complained was a nerd, and we pull down nerd's pants and spank them with moon rocks.
lolz!
That was a brilliant ad campaign. It got a couple unlucky college students into some trouble and cost cartoon networks parent company a couple million dollars, but for a few weeks every news station in the country had to put in their two cents on the matter. The media hype promoted that movie better than any commercial could have. Unfortunately the movie wasnt anywhere near as good as the tv show.
The Moon RULES! #1!
Well it did look ominous, those glow lite things. They weren't turned on, just black boxes stuck up under bridges and near T subway stations. 99.999% just walked on past them...all it took was one "vigilant" person. Oi.
