Viewers Agree Campaign WAS a Bomb

Turns out there is such a thing as bad publicity – it's bad publicity. All the ruckus and emotional distress caused in Boston by an ill-considered but good-intentioned promotional campaign was for nought. The suspicious blinking-light devices planted around Bean Town and some other cities and mistaken for terrorist bombs did not significantly hike the ratings for Cartoon Network's Aqua Teen Hunger Force as intended. In fact, the numbers before and after the stunt were nearly identical: 380,000 before vs 386,000 after. But, hey, if those numbers were blog hits, that'd be something to brag about! (Source)
