Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt

Posted by samzenpus on from the we-do-whatever-we-want-to-whomever-we-want-at-all-times dept.

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."

    As someone who lives in Boston, I'm glad they decided to take these precautions. You have to take these all seriously, because who knows if they're threats or not? I'm mad as hell about this ad campaign because when it comes time to pay for all the police activity today, you can bet your ass Ted Turner won't offer to foot the bill.

    Because until it turned out to be nothing, it was unknown, in locations that could be consider ideal terror targets.

    It's junk until something happens, eh?
    A plane just crashed. - Junk

    A plane just crashed into the WTC. Maybe News
    The President's plane just crashed into the WTC as nuns and kindergardeners where visiting. Oh, okay, maybe I should pay attention.

    A cute kitten stuck in a tree. Oh my god, why aren't people doing things about this?!?!?!?!?!?

    Also, please stop watching fox news and 24, and go read a book.

    OK! Any recommended titles? I'd try to pick one myself, but I'm sure I'd just pick the "wrong" thing to read (I'm such a moron!). Please instruct me as to which books I should read. Also, please provide a detailed list of other culturally approved (e.g., theater [or is theatre more proper?], opera, etc.) and proscribed (e.g., listening to NASCAR on the radio, watching reality television shows, etc.) activities. Thanks in advance!

    there wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for fear-mongers in the media and pussies like you.

    And you Boston @**holes have the nerve to keep sending that blithering idiot Ted Kennedy to the Senate...as well as that douchebag John Kerry. They delude themselves into thinking they are the most important people there.

    GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD, MASSACHUSETTS, YOU DO NOT OWN THIS COUNTRY...STOP ACTING LIKE YOU THINK YOU DO
