You can kind of tell, looking back, just how bitter a lot of the news stations/reporters were at this whole thing, and how they clearly blamed CN and the marketing campaign for "making them look like paranoid conspiracy theorists," when talking about it like they were actual bombs. Just the level of actual anger being thrown around in the reports that it was a failed marketing campaign.

The bad guys sequel will be called as a joke The Bad Guys Colon Movie Sequel Film for Theaters like Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters and for marketing they would do a Guerrilla marketing campaign meaning little marketing but a ton of people will notice and share it by leaving a ton of Ms. Tarantula and Diane Foxington Led lights on random places in new York, new Zealand, and Paris and in Paris the Paris Fire Department mistakenly identified battery-powered LED placards depicting the hackers, characters from the Dreamworks franchise The Bad Guys, as improvised explosive devices, leading to a massive panic. Then universal would have to pay Paris 2 million dollars and then Chris Meledandri will feel bad for letting it happen and quit his job as CEO of Dreamworks and illumination and the news everywhere will talk about it and fox news mistakingly thought that mr wolf, mr shark, mr snake, and mr piranna were all hackers and governers and a fan called them to tell them they're not and they responded and said sorry like how fox news mistakingly thought that master shake, meatwad, and frylock were all mooninites and in dreamworks when the character voice actors heard of what happend they recorded an not so family friendly hour and a half long recording of bad guys it happening in the bad guys world and making fun of the event and them dreamworks animators thought it was so funny that they animated it and a possible movie was being made titled The Bad Guys 3: Paris like how a episode of aqua teen hunger force was going to be made called bostain but then universal saw it and cancelled it 75 percent in and they said they would finish the movie way later and a ton of years after the event but then it got leaked online and it's about the gang with Diane Foxington marketing themselves as heroes until when they make lights and mrs Tarantula and Diane Foxington make lights of themselves and put them in Paris then the cops of Paris argue with one cop saying it's a light while the other cops say it's a bomb and then Diane Foxington and mrs Tarantula go to jail in Paris because of "attempted bombing" in Paris and then mr wolf and the others go home and look at the internet and find that people are selling fake Diane Foxington and mrs Tarantula LCD lights and then they are like at least we made some money but then mr snake says he spent all the money on a giant light which on the side plug in and watch your city burn and then snake plans to bring it up to Paris and raise self awareness on they're asses and then they accidently put in the police chief's house and she touches it and it expoldes and then the fbi force came and they put wires on the police chief making the fbi force think she's a bomb then she explodes and then the fbi member says calm down Paris is safe now then wolf says but it's Los Angleles then the fbi member says well now both are safe and then wolf says what about the police chief and then he says she was a bomb remember and then a sandwhich piranna was eating the fbi squad said stand back it's a bomb then piranna walks away and he explodes then the fbi squad says no he was a bomb then looking on a tv marmalade and his butler joking looking like pakastanians says when the sandwhich molds it will explode and our reigh on the western world will continue then then shark throws it away then they're like lets stack on more sandwhichs then then his butler says we are in a cave remember then marmalade says oh right.

It is actually very dumb and bothersome how Cartoon Network and Adult Swim were blamed for all this when it was the news media that should have at least some blame! Seeing how this changed Cartoon Network more then anything else and news only lived on until other things got on their case. It is really just frustrating.

I honestly think it was stuff like this that eased the main media networks into the mindset where they had absolute confidence that they could straight up maliciously lie and cause panic as long as they had a reasonable enough scapegoat for the majority of the public that's too naive and trusting of them to blindly rely on them for accurate information. Early-mid 2000s just seems like the point where the American world started rolling downhill imo.

This topic has obviously been covered extensively, but this video is the best I've seen about it.

Great job.

This incident was absolutely absurd. The one thing you didn't mention here that probably deserves to be mentioned: the devices had been in place for about 2 weeks when the incident occurred. I don't know either to mock Bostonians for being so slow to react to a 'threat' or just mock them that light bright advertisements are a threat. The most hurtful labeling was calling the ads "terrorism", "terrorism hoax", or "PR stunt". They were ads marketing a product. They had no intention to be anything more than that and any reasonable person would immediately understand that. All these media characters, politicians, and police trying to save face by saying "this was the reaction they were trying to create" are not only wrong, but lying because they were either trying to blame someone else for their own incompetence or repeating the incompetent's lie. Boston police was rightly mocked for their stupidity and we should never forget how they tried to legally blame innocent people for their own incompetence.

Excellent video Nick! I learn about the history of the event before, but you explain and chronicle the story very well and you provide great details and writing to make this video fun and fascinating to watch. This is one of my histories of marketing campaigns gone wrong. Keep up the excellent work man! 👍

God, this is why that episode wasn’t completed?! I saw the episode on a binge of the show one night, and I was confused why it was mostly still images. But now because of this video, I know. And I will never forget.

That incident caused the network to no longer air new episodes of Code Lyoko during its final season. Also, that bomb scare in Boston came true six years later during the Boston Marathon bombing.

Yooo PAtMac! Love that dude, glad to hear his voice again! I think this is my fav coverage of this incident because it gives so much more context and history. The thing that shocks me the most is that the people responsible for simply placing the boards up were arrested or even faced charges when they were just doing their job, even if all serious charges were dropped and it was only community service they shouldn't have been treated like that.

The bad guys sequel will be called as a joke The Bad Guys Colon Movie Sequel Film for Theaters like Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters and for marketing they would do a Guerrilla marketing campaign meaning little marketing but a ton of people will notice and share it by leaving a ton of Ms. Tarantula and Diane Foxington Led lights on random places in new York, new Zealand, and Paris and in Paris the Paris Fire Department mistakenly identified battery-powered LED placards depicting the hackers, characters from the Dreamworks franchise The Bad Guys, as improvised explosive devices, leading to a massive panic. Then universal would have to pay Paris 2 million dollars and then Chris Meledandri will feel bad for letting it happen and quit his job as CEO of Dreamworks and illumination and the news everywhere will talk about it and fox news mistakingly thought that mr wolf, mr shark, mr snake, and mr piranna were all hackers and governers and a fan called them to tell them they're not and they responded and said sorry like how fox news mistakingly thought that master shake, meatwad, and frylock were all mooninites and in dreamworks when the character voice actors heard of what happend they recorded an not so family friendly hour and a half long recording of bad guys it happening in the bad guys world and making fun of the event and them dreamworks animators thought it was so funny that they animated it and a possible movie was being made titled The Bad Guys 3: Paris like how a episode of aqua teen hunger force was going to be made called bostain but then universal saw it and cancelled it 75 percent in and they said they would finish the movie way later and a ton of years after the event but then it got leaked online and it's about the gang with Diane Foxington marketing themselves as heroes until when they make lights and mrs Tarantula and Diane Foxington make lights of themselves and put them in Paris then the cops of Paris argue with one cop saying it's a light while the other cops say it's a bomb and then Diane Foxington and mrs Tarantula go to jail in Paris because of "attempted bombing" in Paris and then mr wolf and the others go home and look at the internet and find that people are selling fake Diane Foxington and mrs Tarantula LCD lights and then they are like at least we made some money but then mr snake says he spent all the money on a giant light which on the side plug in and watch your city burn and then snake plans to bring it up to Paris and raise self awareness on they're asses and then they accidently put in the police chief's house and she touches it and it expoldes and then the fbi force came and they put wires on the police chief making the fbi force think she's a bomb then she explodes and then the fbi member says calm down Paris is safe now then wolf says but it's Los Angleles then the fbi member says well now both are safe and then wolf says what about the police chief and then he says she was a bomb remember and then a sandwhich piranna was eating the fbi squad said stand back it's a bomb then piranna walks away and he explodes then the fbi squad says no he was a bomb then looking on a tv marmalade and his butler joking looking like pakastanians says when the sandwhich molds it will explode and our reigh on the western world will continue then then shark throws it away then they're like lets stack on more sandwhichs then then his butler says we are in a cave remember then marmalade says oh right.

I remember when this all went down! I’ll never forget! I hear a reporter saying “aqua teen hunger force” like she was saying a foreign word she’d never seen before. And I thought, oh, they called in a bomb threat. Oh that sounds like them. They’re insane. Well, of course that’s NOT what happened, and the light bright mooninites were in many other cities and none of them went insane!
