Arson Squad Blows up ‘Mission: Impossible III’ Promo


MediaBuyerPlanner: A promotion for the upcoming movie Mission: Impossible III derailed on Friday when a Los Angeles Times coin machine, which contained a digital musical device designed to play the Mission: Impossible theme song when the rack’s door was opened, was blown up by an LA County sheriff’s arson squad because they thought the rack contained a bomb, the Los Angeles Times reports. Several bomb reports were made by startled newspaper buyers who saw a red plastic box, complete with protruding wires, attached to the interior of racks.
