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."

The bottom line is, in times like these and in a major city like Boston, you have to take everything seriously.
My father works in Iraq, he has been over there for about a good three years, and he has commented on the fact that very little actually happens. The news over here just pays attention to a very small select group of incidents, he says he hears gunfire occasionally, and every once in a while a bomb going off. But in general he says that is all something he doesn't have to worry about. The usual situation is, there is a problem the military deals with it, life goes on. It is us 'vain' Americans, to quote my father, who think the world is falling to pieces when one of our soldiers die.
Bah, there goes what little karma I had.
Actually, one of the few beefs I have with Apple's interface is those little coloured buttons along the top of dialogs. What in hell are they supposed to do? You have to learn it. I thought good interfaces should be as discoverable as possible. I definitely prefer MS's approach here, with the little symbols on buttons.
