“A month ago, the metro area went into a bomb-scare tizzy over a campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force*,”a cartoon on the Cartoon Network.  Now  Dr. Pepper had been involved in a coin-scavenger hunt that was taken place in 23 cities around the country. Boston had issued a halt  once they found out one of the coins were supposedly hidden in a “Colonial-era burial ground” which the Boston Police had found disrespectful and  a  distasteful marketing ploy.

Note to future marketers in and around Boston,  start marketing with signs and logo’s using flowers and peace signs, it’ll ensure that you won’t have your campaign be taken down or questioned…
