Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt
An anonymous reader writes "An ad campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force featuring the Mooninites Ignignot and Err caused major security concerns in Boston, MA when magnetic light displays were mistaken for possible bombs. The displays included one of Ignignot flipping the bird (as hard as he could), but Gov. Deval Patrick was not amused."
Deval Patrick is clearly Satanic - just look at his first name! Also, his second name is Patrick, which is Irish, and therefore he is probably a Papist. He is also a Democ-rat, and wants us to use the communist tool of Beelzebub, namely, Mozilla Firefox.
Aqua Swim should be applauded for their contribution to the War on Terror. By making terrorist Democ-rat liberal whiners like Deval Patrick look foolish they will combat the Open Source scourge that encroaches upon our Christian Way of Life via nebulous European threats.
I salute our brave leaders for their quick and level-headed handling of the situation.

Shake: Frylock, I cannot do that. God hath commanded that I do his will or the Earth will blow up!
Frylock: My ass he did!
Meatwad: God's gunna blow up the world?
Shake: Oh yeah, brutha! He ain't too pleased with YOU in particular, Meatwad!
Meatwad: ME?!

Meatwad: I don't touch myself!

Then again, that just proves that if terrorists paint their IED's pretty colors and put Mickey Mouse on it, I'm fucked...
I am billdar, and I approve this message.
There are plenty of lovely targets around the town, which can explain the reaction (which you'd expect no matter what when dealing with batteries and unknown electronics in a sneaky location in a heavy traffic area).
Yeah, you can't be too careful around batteries. Especially 9-volt ones, they can tingle your tongue!

They laughed him off.

Somebody set us up the bomb!

The Mooninites have been quoted with such terrorist threats as

If you have a problem with that maybe you should take that up with Mr. Laser. -Ignignokt

Bow your heads or I'll bow em for ya! -Err
Ignignokt: Our god is a god of vengeance. A god of hate. Err: A god of action! Ignignokt: Our god is an Indian who can turn into a wolf and- Err: Dude, that's Wolfen. Ignignokt: Yes, well Wolfen will come after you, with his razor.
You got a problem with that? -Err
Ignignokt: No one can defeat the Quad Laser. Err: Jumping is useless.
what first grade did you go to?!?!
maybe i was ill that day...
"consistent with an improvised explosive device,"'
Well look at it this way, if these boards ran on a certain brand of laptop battery (cough Sony cough), they might be right!!!
Seven puppies were harmed during the making of this post.
In the second grade, they taught us to make pipe bombs. Important tips like not buying the pipe and caps at the same hardware store, paying cash for everything, how to make detonators from flashbulbs and clothespins, and so forth. You really missed out!
They're staring because most of them have never seen a virgin before.

As part of my job, I leave electronic monitoring equipment for days or weeks in pubic places.

Please. You're reading a site with the tagline "News for Nerds". You should already know the required reading.
You should already own and have read all of these, and if you're truly pretentious you should be able to quote relevant passages. Also, to retain your nerd and/or geek credentials, you must be able to quote from two or more of Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Stargate, Firefly, or Andromeda. You will be expected to pick one of these as a religion* and from time to time wage holy war on the rest for forsaking The One True Way. Also you must be able to recite on demand the Spam sketch, the Dead Parrot sketch, and 90% of the Princess Bride script**.
If you wish to branch out from required reading, other popular choices are Twain, Shakespeare, Crichton, and Mark Minasi.
(e.g., theater [or is theatre more proper?]While either is correct, the "Enlightened" tend to use "theatre". I tend to make a distinction in that "theater" is the building and "theatre" is the performance within, but that's mostly because I suffered with a thespian roommate for a while and the brainwashing eventually wore me down. You may choose as you wish.
Thanks in advance!My pleasure! Please feel free to stop in again anytime you need a helping hand :-)

The police apparently learned what bombs look like from hollywood movies and comic books.
The MPAA should definitely foot the bill.
Sooo, we should have detonated New Orleans?

Likewise I've only heard Boston-based posters complaining about how this was irresponsible and something that obviously looked a lot like a bomb so it needed to be investigated.
I'm from Boston. I stood on the subway for a over an hour (normal ride time: 30 minutes or so) because of these dipshit "indie" artists that did this for Turner. Check out one of their websites. Wow, aren't they cool? They know how to use animation programs, video projectors, video cameras, and have dreadlocks. They use pen-names that sound uber-cool, and lots of hip artist-y language.
They should have heard the language on the subway when the conductor announced we'd be delayed because Sullivan Station was shut down on account of "a suspicious package."
Their stunt shut down 93 North, the orange line, several Charles River bridges (which are heavily trafficked.) These idiots planted electronic devices on private and public property, something they knew they shouldn't do, over-reactions from police aside. Let's be absolutely clear here: these clowns had zero business putting this stuff on property that wasn't theirs and they knew it, but decided to ignore that, because this whole thing probably made them some pot money.
One of them is sitting in jail, as of about half an hour ago. Let's see how he likes being inconvenienced.
Please help metamoderate.
It's possible bombs could have large blinking lights... I mean, these things were attached around Boston with magnets. MAG-NETS. Can't you just see the evil bomb maker:
*twirling moustache*
Now that I have attached the bombs around the city using the unbreakable force of magnets, I will activate the lights to taunt the populace, so that they can see the source of their imminent demise but be powerless to avoid it!
*insane cackling*
The funny thing is, for a few weeks now, Adult Swim has been talking in their bumps about having no idea how to promote the upcoming ATHF movie.
Well, they certainly solved that problem, didn't they? I don't think they intentionally tried to create a scare, but man oh man, you can't buy publicity like this.
As of this moment, the Drudge Report main page has an image of Err flying the bird.
Brit Hume said "Meatwad".
If I had actually been watching TV live when this story broke, I think I actually might have passed out from laughing.

I live in Lowell but I can feel your fear radiating all the way from Boston.
I'm ashamed. And amused. Ok, much more amused than ashamed.
Oh the cognitive dissonance.
I for one, welcome our new Mooninite overlords, flipping us the bird as long and as hard as they possibly can.

I feel like standing on top of a soap box and yelling at people till i'm blue in the face, but I know that's fruitless.
So stand on a crate of oranges.
Remember that scene from American Beauty where Col. Frank Fitts is reading the newspaper and says "This country is going straight to hell"?
Well, after reading this article I can now imagine this as the one he's reading.
Pipe bombs? Ha! in the thirth grade they taught us to make NBC weapons! My bird flu even made the news all around the world. Well, biocontainment wasn't taught before grade four...
if it was me, I would've taken the sign/light and just said "i'm going to blow this up at home guys, thanks." and kept it. Those things are frickin' sweet.
