Adult Swim Apologizes: Sorry Boston, You Didn't Get it.

Turner Broadcasting issued a statement apologizing for the trouble that the ad campaign uncovered in Boston caused the city.

The ''packages'' in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger. They are part of an outdoor marketing campaign in 10 cities in support of Adult Swim’s animated television show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They have been in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Parent company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards. We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger.

Adult Swim ran spots preceding all programming, including Aqua Teen Hunger Force, tonight with a similar, wordier, apology for the incident. We've provided the screen cap above – a video of the spot shown before Futurama can be seen here (fifth link).
