"Aqua teen hunger force" - a cartoon show (for adults)
There was a marketing campaign that placed battery powered LED signs around (many) big cities in the US.
It seems Boston was one of the only to actually notice anything.
The LEDs signs were magnetic and could be thrown onto metal items like bridges...They also had D cell battery packs that were all taped up...wires etc... This is what drew the most attention.

CHARLES RIVER OPEN TO WATERWAY TRAFFIC
BOSTON - The Coast Guard re-opened the closed portion of the Charles River, from the Museum of Science to the Boston Harbor locks, 5 p.m. today.
The river was closed after suspicious packages were reported on the Longfellow and Boston University Bridges about 1 p.m. today.
Coast Guard Cutter Flyingfish, homeported in Boston, patrolled Boston Harbor near the locks to ensure no waterway traffic could enter the Charles River.
Additionally, Coast Guard Sector Boston increased random patrols of ferry terminals and put law enforcement teams aboard some commuter ferries as a precautionary measure.
