8. I can't speak for cops because I didn't see what they saw.
It made all of us idiots, fearful idiots. I really hate this be afraid stuff. Nothing wrong with being afraid of things that are real, but the fearmongering really pisses me off.
9. That was probably the first one, at least in the electronic media.
However, you could argue that while this cartoon promotion was an advertisement for a "work of art," War of the Worlds was a work of art in itself, and therefore not so much in the realm of commerce.
Homeland security is using a harmless advertising gimmick to reinforce the message of fear and hopelessness in our society. Be afraid. Don't leave your house. Don't ask questions. This for your own good. Don't fight back. Just let us handle it. We know what's best. on and on.
but I understand that this was also done in 9 or 10 other cities and it was done about three weeks ago. If that's the case, wouldn't the alphabet soup be aware of this nonsense already? And wouldn't that make this whole "scare" just more of the same color coded bs we've been fed for too long?
