Cartoon Network CEO Resigns Over Aqua Teen Scare
DesertBlade writes "Jim Samples, CEO of Cartoon Network, has resigned over the bomb scare prompted by the Aqua Teen marketing campaign. Turner (CN's parent company) ended up paying over 2 million in restitution to the city of Boston, and a man with a thirteen year record at the company has lost his job. Though many people have been citing this as 'the ultimate successful advertising campaign', there have obviously been real consequences from the incident." By virtue of the consequences of the campaign, was this now officially a bad idea? Or is your opinion that this is all far too much knee-jerking? Have your say in the comments.
Terrorists care about killing Americans and as a large city Boston has many Americans. Boston and other large cities in America are the target of terrorists and it's a mistake to think otherwise. The only way to make Islamic terrorists not want to harm us is for us all to covert to Islam. America is not willing to do that, so fighting for our freedom is the only alternative.
What were the President and the CIA doing in Boston?
What a drama queen. Is everyone in Boston this scared? How do you get through the day?
