Yep! Boston pretty much got evacuated today because of a promotion for Aqua Teen Hunger Force! Little "Ignots" and "Errs" were placed around the city, and a lot of people got scared they were bombs! (They obviously do not watch the show!) Check it out.... "The bomb squads of Boston are scrambling after a number of suspicious packages were left littered around the city and its suburbs, containing blinking lights and exposed circuitry. The panicked pandemonium has caused the entire city to go into code red terrorist alert. The only problem? It's not a terrorist threat. It's an advertising campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The advertising devices themselves were magnetic computer motherboards with the Lite-Brite face of the Mooninites displayed on the side, magnetically attached to bridges, underpasses, etc. Apparently, the Bomb Squad has had to close down major roads and cordon off entire sections of the city to deal with the Mysterious Mooninite Devices. The traffic grid in Boston? Absolute chaos. And up until an hour ago, Adult Swim (through Turner Broadcast) hadn't even bothered to inform the city where all of the Mooninite bundles were located. Needless to say, Turner Broadcast is now apologetically complying with Boston's authorities, but the campaign is also running in a host of US cities. So if you're in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, or any other of a dozen odd US cities... BEWARE THE MOONINITES!" Source: blog.wired.com/tableofmalcontents/2007/01/aqua_teen_hunge.html

See, people are too busy trying to lose weight and become healthier, they need to be lazy again and watch more television or this kind of thing never would've happened...
Hope you picked up on the sarcasm.

^^LOL!
This is so...random! Kinda like the fact that I just ate a piece of toast and it now looks like the USA...anyways! That's really funny, I wouldn't have known it was a Mooninite though...

This is crazy. The fact that the things were up for two weeks before anyone noticed them is sad. If these were bombs all of these cities would have no one left in them.

^Well, they didn't really look like bombs to me. I think this whole thing was an over-reaction mixed with a not-so-smart way to advertise.
