"It's a hoax — and it's not funny," Gov. Deval Patrick told The Associated Press.
"Hoaxes are an enormous burden on law enforcement and counterterrorism resources," said Russ Knocke, spokesman for agency. "And, in a post 9-11 world, there's absolutely no place for hoaxes."
For the misunderstanding to be a hoax would have required intent. Are these officials saying that Turner intended to have the devices mistaken for bombs? Just because law enforcement is understandably worried about terrorism doesn't make every misunderstanding a terroristic threat.

Me thinks the law enforcement in Boston should be penalized for gluttonous spazitude.
This campaign was launched in 10 cities, and they're the only ones who didn't recognize the (granted, new-ish) pop culture icon/character.
Bozo points: those guys
Bonus Bozo points for trying to blame the [adult swim] marketing kids for their own ignorance.
And don't forget to thrash the hell outta MSM while you're at it, for merely parroting back all those incendiary words that Boston law enforcement was (were? is "law enforcement plural?) tossing about. Stuff like "explosive devices" and IEDs, and all the other militaristic mumbo-jumbo they (law enforcement AND mainstream media) love to spout-off the top of their heads and pull outta their Big Media cracks.
The generational gap is ginormous there in Boston. Fer sure something like this would've happened down south! About time someone else got some of stupid-people heat.
