The president and general manager of Cartoon Network, Jim Samples, resigned under pressure Friday following the incident on January 31st that caused Boston to shut down subway, highway, and river traffic due to fear that some of the 40 blinking signs for the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" series and movie were thought to be potential terrorist weapons. Samples had worked at Cartoon Network for 13 years.From WSJ.com:
"I deeply regret the negative publicity and expense caused to our company as a result of this campaign," Mr. Samples wrote in an email to Cartoon Network employees. "I feel compelled to step down .. in recognition of the gravity of the situation that occurred under my watch."
