Pretty hard to defend against this. Assuming you should have to!

There was a sidewalk going right under the bridge girder in question, it was also on the outermost girder of the bridge, facing out. Anyone walking or driving down that street would have seen it; I have seen traffic lights mounted in less conspicuous locations.

There were plenty of pictures on zebbler.com but their site seems to be buckling under the traffic.

There are some pictures here: http://flickr.com/photos/vanderlin/358742603/ that aren't as good as the ones on zebbler, and there is a video embedded in this article that was made by the people at zebbler showing the instalation of the mooninite signs.

It is pretty clear they were meant to be seen.

There was only 1 on a bridge/overpass, and we're not talking about an above water bridge here.

The thing is *obviously* not a bomb. It's a sign. It has big glowing flashing LEDs. Come on. Use your brain, people.

Local news story on arrest here

Peter Berdovsky, 27, of Arlington, was arrested Wednesday night and charged under a new statute that makes it a crime to place, transfer or possess a hoax device that results in panic. He was also charged with one count of disorderly conduct.

Video of the stunt is available here - (Direct link to 27mb Quicktime file) Please save file locally before playing ;-)

Likewise I've only heard Boston-based posters complaining about how this was irresponsible and something that obviously looked a lot like a bomb so it needed to be investigated.

I'm from Boston. I stood on the subway for a over an hour (normal ride time: 30 minutes or so) because of these dipshit "indie" artists that did this for Turner. Check out one of their websites. Wow, aren't they cool? They know how to use animation programs, video projectors, video cameras, and have dreadlocks. They use pen-names that sound uber-cool, and lots of hip artist-y language.

They should have heard the language on the subway when the conductor announced we'd be delayed because Sullivan Station was shut down on account of "a suspicious package."

Their stunt shut down 93 North, the orange line, several Charles River bridges (which are heavily trafficked.) These idiots planted electronic devices on private and public property, something they knew they shouldn't do, over-reactions from police aside. Let's be absolutely clear here: these clowns had zero business putting this stuff on property that wasn't theirs and they knew it, but decided to ignore that, because this whole thing probably made them some pot money.

One of them is sitting in jail, as of about half an hour ago. Let's see how he likes being inconvenienced.

Here are pics of Zebbler putting the signs up, I think with the Glitchcrew. These are local artists doing the deed for Interference and Cartoon Network. Having lived in Boston for years, and was there on 9/11, I'm somewhat conflicted about this. Should they have gotten permission from the city? These are magnetic signs, not grafiti. The signs were up for two weeks before anyone freaked out.

I can't believe that none of the cops at Sullivan Square saw it and said "hey, that's from a cartoon".
