I don't know. That Youtube video someone posted a while ago showed them lit up when they were placed. The things were glowing like a neon sign on the Vegas strip. As for some of the other points:
> The placement of them on the underside of a bridge, out of reach, So people won't tear them up > not facing > upright (which makes the character hard to see), > in a dark place, So they show up really well when on > with the > lights not on, > painted black, Probably for the same reason that the backings of neon signs are painted black > with black tape, Most electrical tape is > visible wires and battery > pack exposed? Doubt these were high dollar items ... > Would your mind truly have thought "Guerilla ad for Comedy Central show"? Dunno what I would have thought. We didn't see exactly how they were found and what they really looked like at that time. We just have a general description. I heard a blurb about this on NPR a while ago. The two men arrested for this have been charged with "leaving electronic devices around the city" and been released on $2,500 bond. Sadly, this will likely be an automatic process now. You see, now "something" must be done, but I don't think anyone really knows what. So, this will probably all be laid out before us like some kind of absurd, comical play where everyone plays their predefined parts until someone is finally revealed as the unlucky fool who involuntarily suffers the fallout from the stupidity that will spring up around this. I think we already have our first two favorites! Then again, a simple phone call to the police with a head's-up about what was going on beforehand would have gone a long way to prevent the entire mess, which leads one to believe the uproar was desired. I wonder if it was worth $750,000 though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:226517 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
