First of all anyone who has lived in Boston like I have
would know the city is jam packed with pranksters.

You have no idea how many MIT alum have
pent up desires to be smartasses.

Does anyone remember the Voodoo Duck prank?

Wrote about it once.

Called it:

Can Ivy League Rich Kids Cause This Much Havoc
And High Jinks...And Get Away With It Everytime?

MIT has a looooooong traditon of pranks.

PS. This whole thing was a setup. That cartoon network and CNN are owned by the same company yet CNN keeps reporting about some unknown plot. Ya think the cartoon folks couldn't call up to CNN and tell them what's going on. Heck they probably work down the office from one another at the headquarters in Atlanta so somebody could have just walked over to the CNN studio.
