That's just one of many, many stories covering the "terror scare" in Boston today. I don't know how many of you watch Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and know the show Aqua Teen Hunger Force, (ATHF), but apparently, a marketing campaign for their upcoming movie was mistaken for a bomb threat.

Now, while I don't find the fact that traffic got held up, and this required a lot of police and bomb squad people to focus all their efforts in a condensed area, I think that the fact that things that essentially resembled Lite Brites were mistaken for bombs hysterical.

The best part about all the news coverage of this story is that the only light panel they didn't destroy was Igknigknot, a Mooninite, who is flipping the bird and they're showing it all over TV and most stations aren't censoring it.

I don't think the people of Boston are ever going to live this down.

hahaha!

man, they make ATHF sound so unbelievably rediculous in that article. "a surreal series about a talking milkshake, a box of fries and a meatball."

THATS quality entertainment for ya

In the news, they said that the characters were just a broad analogy for the foods that stoners eat. That may or may not be true, but I love how they're trying to give a cartoon they probably don't watch or understand a bad name.

One newscast referred to all the characters as Mooninites, haha.

My boyfriend wants to make a T-shirt with a picture of Igknigknot on it with the words "Watch out! I might be a bomb!" underneath the picture.

I'm hoping Boston gets a mention on an Adult Swim bump because of this.

haha you know someone on the AS boards is going to have something snarky to say about this!

if they represent stoner food... i wonder what carl represents

and if the BF makes a shirt... i'm totally buying one!

lol

Definitely! They're a snarky bunch over there, so I'm counting on them to encourage a bump for the city of Boston.

So Ben Affleck isn't the only imbecile to come out of Boston.

I just saw that on CNN and laughed my freaking ass off

there is a video here to watc has the situation unfolds!

You want to know how frigging moronic Bostonians are? These devices have been in place for two to three weeks in ten cities: Boston; New York; Los Angeles; Chicago; Atlanta; Seattle; Portland, Ore.; Austin, Texas; San Francisco; and Philadelphia. Now the governor of Massachussetts, to cover up the embarrassment of looking like a complete drooling idiot with the city's overreacting, says "It's a hoax - and it's not funny". Whatever, Gov. Patrick. We didn't see this kind of paranoia take hold of those nine other cities, and one of those nine was New York!

I dare you to email THAT to the governor!

I think I peed a little when I heard that story

Well, now they are charging the 2 guys that put the things up. They showed footage of them going to court in police cars this morning.

Charging them?! Really, this is a fagot* above the load now.

* This is a reference to a bundle of sticks, nothing else, so don't go hatin' on me now.

yea I just saw that footage on CNN too...

Dude that guy has some awesome dreds.

But yea, this is being blown WAY to out of purportion. It's not their fault people are idiots and over reacted.
