Aqua Teen Art 'Terrorist' Describes His Ordeal

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the funny-is-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder dept.

destinyland writes "Boston police arrested artist 'Zebbler' for installing L.E.D. devices that promoted Aqua Teen Hunger Force (after police mistook them for bombs). He's finally shared the real behind-the-scenes story about his arrest and release. He describes his interrogation ('My interrogator gave me nothing but carrots to eat') and remembers a surreal exchange with a police officer. ('My daughter is a huge fan of you ... So, did you really mean to blow up Boston?') Now his latest project is a cool high-definition/surround sound installation for an event called RIP.MIX.BURN.BAM.PFA."

    Considering the amount of explosions in ATHF, I consider the threat to be completely valid. Remember everyone, terrorists clearly mark the bombs with flashing lights, to be widely apparent to everyone, so that they have a chance to observe the bomb before it explodes.

      I am saddened, my sarcasm has been lost upon you.
       
      Perhaps I should cover my sarcasm in lights in the shape of ATHF characters.

      I bet you'd use circuit boards and wires while constructing your ATHF character shaped light construct. Burn in hell, terrorist bastard!

      So, did you really mean to blow up your university?

      On the third floor, displayed in the window of one of the offices, was a timer. And it was counting. Up.

      For future reference, timers that count up are commonly referred to as "clocks".

      And I'm sure you would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling janitors!

    An accused terrorist, on the other hand, should tell the truth because a terrorist might not have much legal protection at times. ... which in turn gives the interrogator the right to torture^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hspecially interrogate the accused terrorist or hand him over to a government that has more experience at this, because the fucking terrorist refuses to acknowledge that he in fact is one.

    With your incredible mental acuity, you have a promising career ahead of you in the Boston Police Department, or perhaps the Department of Homeland Security.

    I'm sorry, but this thread is going completely wrong. Everybody knows terrorists put a countdown clock on a bomb. In order to disable it you have to cut any of the colored wires at T minus 1 second.

    Now do you still trust him to protect and serve in Boston? Duh!

    Are you serious? He's an artist and a VJ who was doing an advertising gig. Assuming you actually work for a living, what kind of morally superior day job do *you* have?

    I'm having a hard time coming up with a job that's *not* morally superior to any of those. CEO, I suppose.

    I'll have to remember remember to wear a tshirt saying "harmless meat popsicle, do not detonate" if I ever go to Boston...
