You'll notice we haven't said much about this whole Aqua Teen Hunger Force terrorist threat that Boston overreacted to -- probably because it had zero to do with gaming even though the Mooninites are sooo classic 8-bit. But, as gamers, we all generally have the same sense of humor and Aqua Teen is and should be one of those things that always pulls us together and allows us to laugh at the finer things in life.
So, in order to shine more light on the upcoming ATHF movie (which will be 100% awesome) and this whole "controversy," take a look at what our friends over at Attack of the Show did on The Loop.
By the way, if you live in Boston: I'm sorry you have to live in such a humorless and idiotic city.
Never forget.

It's always, not allways.
The fact is that the people behind it should have known better then to attach those devices to things like bridges.
ATHF did something dumb and its no big deal but at the same time it was costly and should have not happened,
Shame on you Summa for putting down a great city (and no I am not from there) I can see now why you cant keep a job!

EVAR!!1
omg scary purple lights!! osama!!!
Naw, you're way off base. They did some street art. Attached it to bridges. The highly trained Boston bomb squad really should have known better than to think that a millimeters-thick circuit board with LEDs and wires could be a bomb.
It was their fault, not the marketers. They were trying to be clever. They succeeded. Art is frequently disruptive.

harsh.
btw, I hope someone pulls the Mooninite out of your ass.
i was hoping someone would post that video so i didnt have to... the press conference was the best part
as for the whole ordeal, it think it's dumb that the city freaked out
noobs these days..
Watch a gaggle of reporters get turned away by "I'm sorry that's not a hair question, I can't answer it"
The fact that the media turned this into a possible terrorist event is the real problem that no one wants to address.
The media only wants to sell you the most extreme and "breaking" story. Its a wake up call thats most likely going to go unnoticed.
Beautiful Job by the "offenders" at the press conference BTW.

As soon as I heard about this that's the first thing that I thought of. It's rediculous that people would think an alien figure flipping you off could be a bomb, but ATHF isn't that well known an entity really.
On the other hand, who doesn't know who Mario is, and about his power blocks.
Sometimes I swear people are just getting dumber and dumber, but really, it's just older people.
The solutions is, kill everyone over the age of 40 or so. Problem solved!
A few quotes from the yellow journalism AP piece that every news outlet in the US feeds off of:
"We're not going to let this go without looking at the further roots of how this happened to cause the panic in this city," Coakley said at a news conference.
Ummm, I know how it happened attorney general, you hire a bunch of morons who couldn't tell a walking cow from a moving car. Stupid, STUPID, STUPID.

I'm sure we all remember where we were when that badboy went down.
The Super Bowl has been called off because a pez dispenser has been found on a Boston area elementary school playground.
Citizens are advised to duct tape their windows and retreat to the safety of the underground pez-proof bunkers.
Said Officer Ted Bundy of the BPD: "Gandaff was lookin' all quee-yuh at the wheelbarrow, so I took them all in fuh questioning."
There's a joke about "knowing Mario", here in Brazil.
Probably created during the advent of the Mario Bros. phenomenon.
i lol'd
+1 to anyone who gets the reference.
@Lukewind
Cool it, dude. Summa can be pretty crazy sometimes (The man honestly likes the PS3 : P), but seriously, if you don't like his posts, bugger off. It's not like Summa came up with the idea of blaming Boston for its idiocy.
@Scrap
I would totally buy that if it were on a shirt.
And you wonder why Australians think Americans are stupid >_<
trust me, i do not wonder why ppl in other countries think we are stupid/hate us. i know many a reason. i wonder if ppl have been thinking about just how bad this makes us look internationally. but i guess Italia took any focus off of us when a cop got killed during rioting at the Catania-Palermo soccer game.
Lay off the US, yo. We're good people. (Mostly.)
Every episode of ATHF. Ever.
You're welcome.
