Do the networks need any material for a midseason replacement? Peter Berdvosky and Sean Stevens, who were arrested for hanging the displays of the "Mooninites" that scared the city and pissed off the mayor, might be the right guys for the job.
The city finds these two rather amusing. Bostonist overheard some T passengers laughing about the shaggy appearance of the two guys arrested for the ATHF attack. One guy said, "I'm not scared any more. Did you take a look at those guys?"
Their loopy '70s hair routine press conference was pretty funny. The media's indignant reaction to it was cute, too. It would have been even funnier if a reporter started yanking at Berdvosky's dreads in sheer frustration.
But just because these two guys were joking it up about '70s hair and Berdvosky's dreadlock maintenance doesn't mean Turner Broadcasting and guerrilla-marketing bozos Interference Inc. should let them take the fall. (After a long stretch of a blank home page, Interference finally has an apology posted - too little, too late.)
The city really should let Berdvosky and Stevens go. The more Berdvosky tosses his dreads into the camera, the dumber the city is going to look if they toss him in the cooler. That's probably his legal strategy, anyway.
Maybe the city should go after the ones who greenlighted this campaign. Or maybe law enforcement should work harder at the getting the people who planted the fake pipe bombs at Tufts-New England Medical Center and on the Longfellow Bridge. Just an idea.
Screengrab of Peter Berdvosky, face of a generation - sort of - from WCVB's website, which immediately put him on prominent display. He's a born cause celebre.
