Aqua Teen Hunger Force Strikes San Francisco
For those of you who felt left out of the whole Alqueda Teen Hunger Force terrorist plot, don't you worry, we weren't left out. It turns out twenty of those things were scattered throughout the city. Unlike those idgits in Boston, nobody seemed to think anything of it. So no complaints were filed and no press conferences were held with people trying to explain why something that looks like one of those Lite Brite things was some nefarious plot hatched by people hiding in caves. In fact, one of the ones that was found was found over the weekend on a sign above an art gallery on Clement Street and not only did nobody call it in, but the person who found it thought it was cool. When the batteries went out, he just took it down.
After the events of today, the marketing company behind it all told the SFPD where they could find the things so the police could disable them. It’s not quite known where all twenty of them are but CBS 5 is asking people for any information on where they could possibly be.
You know, we feel kind of sorry for the ad rep who dreamed this sucker up. There you are, all proud of your work when next thing you know, you’ve caused an entire metropolitan area to come to a screeching halt over your work. And then the Mayor goes live on TV and threatens to throw your ass in jail for whatever reason.
But, on the other hand, there's no such thing as bad publicity, right?

What does this have to do with the Newsom-Tourk clusterf*ck? This a blog, dammit and we need 24-7 coverage!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Well, to be honest, in one episode Ignignokt did in fact say "The innocent shall suffer. Big time."
Well, there is such a thing as no publicity.
There's no such thing as bad publicity.
They're going for big bucks on ebay, so if you find one be sure to not turn it in!
Bostonians are f**ktards. Clearly.
mayor menino thought meatwad was a meatball ... and was clearly pissed when he wasn't ....
it's really that simple.
I chuckle how all stories read along the lines of "ad campaign backfires". That's pretty rich. It's the damn media and lame law enforcement policy that backfired if anything. These LED signs have been up for weeks without inducing widespread panic.
It was probably Mayor McMuffin who saw one and got homeland security dollar-signs in his eyes as he fumbled for his cell phone. Or maybe just an evangelical who was offended by err's middle finger and said "quick, print some colored ribbon stickers and call the mayor".
And the fact that they arrested the poor artist who made them too. What a f**ckin debacle.
As for ATHF, hell now everybody wants to see it.
... And they blur out five LED's because they're "offensive". What are we here, living in the second taliban state or what?
that's funny, i actually saw a lite brite box on the street and thought how rare it is to see them. and then got nostalgic for my youth.
Listening to the infinitely stupid Mayor of Boston ,and the equally idiotic Governor of Massachusetts go on and on about trying to "make someone pay" for all the hullaballoo was hilarious. Plenty of other cities didn't go into a panic over mooninites, and cause a circus. Yet another reason why Boston sucks!

No wonder.... They are going for $500+ on ebay

actully they were put up in 10 major citys in the us
new york included
boston has been the only one to freak out
Land of the free, home of the brave.
not funny for the guys facing charges and jailtime though - I seriously hope they get through it OK
This has been very effective publicity. I had no idea of ATHF, or what Mooninites were, before the "terrorism" scare. Indeed, if the news items hadn't blurred the finger on the graphics, I'd have assumed that the characters were just pointing to the sky. Given that the authorities seem to be freaked out by wires and batteries, I'll try to remember to leave my iPod at home should I ever visit Boston.
I wonder if that song from Augustana has gone a little to the heads of the people in Boston?
“ Think I need a sunrise; I ‘m tired of sunsets… and also little white light men!”
I think that could be part of it too?
Weak immune systems are much more prone to alergic reactions than strong immune systems. When we're so weak that Moonite can take out metropoliton Boston, that's bad, real bad. Folks, we're in real trouble.
And ya, I am from the greater Boston area.
Why are they bleeping the finger? They show killing and blood on cartoons and movies and they are covering eight night lights? That's TV news for you.
Be afraid, very afraid.
Adult Swim will terrorize your neighborhood.
i think these cops are just a ad bit overzealous
lets shut the city down for some neon signs.
whast a bunch of idiots.
then, lets blame some pot smoker, cos we dont want to look stupid.
This takes the cake.
I am moving to Peru.
Nice this time of year,
Brad
