Devices set up all over the city to promote the new aqua teen hunger force movie causes bomb scare resulting in the closing of I-93 and charles river.

wbztv.com - Arrest Made In Boston's Hoax Device Incident

I just logged on to talk about this very thing. I'm a HUGE [as] devotee, and it makes me want to fucking weep for the future of this country if people have gotten so out of touch that they think a picture of a frigging Mooninite is a "terrorist" device.

One woman who phoned the Howie Carr Show and identified herself as an American soldier called the stunt "network- sponsored terrorism". Another said her husband lost income because he was unable to complete his delivery route.

WTF?!?!? Maybe if people expanded their horizons beyond FOX News and American Idol, they wouldn't pee their pants so quickly. I love the way the American public becomes so fixated on bullshit that they are blind to the things that their own government subjects them to. It is this very kind of lemming behavior that contributes to a slow but sure erosion of civil rights. We just aren't paying attention to the right things. Nothing keeps people in line like irrational, misplaced fear. Pfft...

They shouldn't have to pay shit. Some 8 year old probably was sitting down at dinner and said something like, "Do you really think terrorists would be such big fans of Aqua Teen to use bomb mooninites?"

Good Job Boston. I will be highly pissed if anyone gets in trouble for this. Thank you America for scaring everyone so bad they are afraid of 2D aliens.

Yeah...they look like friggin' 'Light Bright' toys...I said that as soon as I saw them...lol...

I saw some of the announcement they made on tv last night but I could not read the whole thing.
Anyways it is over the top but, people are too scared.

LMMFAO

I was wondering what that was about last night. After every commercial, adult swim had this big long speech about apologizing for something or another. I thought it was a joke. People need to lighten up. "Ohh no the mooninites will get us"

Hahaha...the two guy's who planted the 'things' around the city just got up to the podium to make their 'official statement'. The dude's like..."We are here to talk about what everybody must be thinking about right now. We take this very seriously. We want to discuss the hairstyles of the 60s and 70s." LOL!....then he goes on about how his dreads are cool and shit. It was on like every channel...but after like 5 minutes...all the channels were like "Ummm...yeah...soo...umm...we are going to go to weather now, because they obvious think this is a joking matter."

It was funny...some reporter was like..."Do you think you should face any consequences for your actions"...the dude's like..."Yeah my dreads are pretty cool aren't they?" The news would go back for a moment to 'see if they were talking about anything relevant'...nope...still talking about hair lol. The whole time they kept the straightest possible face too...then they showed them like skipping around the court room. Haha...smart lawyer they got. He said to the reporters..if you don't want to hear what they have to say then simply don't listen and leave.

Menino (mayor of Beantown) said the real punishment should go against Turner or whatever...not "those two gophers" lol.

Ugh...

On one hand, BRILLIANT marketing... all the attention you could ever want, and more... even bad publicity is good publicity.
On the other hand, a touch irresponsible... or anyway that's what I thought until I saw the pictures of the little thingys... now I'm trying to figure out how anyone decided they were bombs in the first place!

My take on it?

Simple!

Patriots are out of Super Bowl contention...

Boston PD is disappointed they aren't going to have all sorts of riots and other excitement...

the Red Sox let them down this year too!!!...

not much to do down at the station and even Dunkin Donuts are getting a bit stale.

What to do,.... what to do....

east coast woot woot! I didn't even know that athf was the cause untill this morning, when my buddy called, and said "nice show ya got there fry man, you trying to kill us all or somthing." in carl's voice. I turned on the news and got the whole story.

BUT what if it was the opposit situation. A bomb made up to look like a moonite character, And they didn't do squat. We could have been looking at a very different news breif this morning. I'm glad it turned out this way.

What to do,.... what to do....

Clemens. That's what you do. Would easily be one of the best rotations in baseball history if everyone was healthy. Not to mention the bats and defense.

[stinkyattic]

if everyone was healthy.
.

Yeah... there's the kicker, eh?
