Apparently, yesterday there was a series of suspicious looking objects in Boston, which people thought were bombs. Turns out they were actually LED boards of the Moonanites from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, in an elaborate gorilla marketing campaign. You heard me right: People actually mistook marketing for explosive devices.
Of course, they were placed under bridges, subways and other public places, and they were lit up, so I can see how your average person would mistake it for a bomb, just like they must mistake their television or microwave for one on a daily basis. "Aha! Made in Taiwan you say? Well the authorities will be hearing of this!" A day and several scary news stories later, people are now mad at the company that did the marketing campaign, interference inc, and are demanding that they and Cartoon Network, along with their parent company, Turner Broadcasting, be held accountable, which may include a fine of $500,000, which is what was spent to avert this disaster.
Attorney General Martha Coakley says the scare was not necessarily unfounded. "For those who responded to it, professionals, it had a very sinister appearance," Coakley said. "It had a battery behind it and wires."
Later that day, several RC Cars were taken from small children to be destroyed. The children are awaiting trial for their crimes against the government.
Check after the break for a video of the hanging of the Mooninites.
