A. Yes
Q. Is it forseeable that a lite-brite advertisement placed w/o permission will cause an entire city to "duck and cover".

Yeah, but that was after the city had panicked about "bombs". A covert message right after planting them that said "hey, we've done this advertising campaign with this stuff, if you see them we're responsible" would probably still have gotten them a fine, but I doubt it would have turned into the large-scale bomb scare it did.

Regardless, those in charge in Boston are idiots and should be ashamed of their behavior.
