A wierd way to promote a movie though.

You heard about whats happened over here?some muslims have been arrested over a plot to kidnap & murder other muslims who are serving in the British army!

I saw this on the news this morning. I guess everything with blinking lights is a terrorist act.

I think it's a funny way to promote the show/movie(which i'm eagerly waiting for). If I would have been on the interstate and seen that on an overpass, I would have pissed all over myself....

just goes to show how paranoid americans are. I mean blinking lights? come on!

Heheh, yeah I saw that on the nexs too.

I knew who it was before they said ATHF because you see one of the guys pulling down a picture of ignignokt.

"The 1-foot tall signs, which were lit up at night, resembled a circuit board, with protruding wires and batteries. Most depicted a boxy, cartoon character giving passersby the finger — a more obvious sight when darkness fell."

I'm glad to read that I am not the only one who thinks this crap is blown out of the water.

it is so nice that the city of boston
is protecting its citizens from cartoon promotions

if they only cared as much about thier highways
then the people would be safer

The Big Dig- one of the largest and most expensive
road projects ever was handled by the boston govt
a large section of concrete overpass fell on top of a car
kiling a family because it was constructed poorly by
crooked companies working with crooked politicians

so i am glad that boston has stopped worrying about
things like familys getting crushed to death by tons of
concrete while they drive on thier super expensive highways
and can now focus on the big threat of cartoon promotions

If it were in Vegas, nobody would even have noticed.

Those two dudes who are "responsible" were in court today, and after the court hearing, they were outside, just totally pissing off the media morons. It was frakking hilarious. When asked about the incident, all the dudes wanted to talk about was hairstyles from the 1970's!!! I was crackin' the fudge up. I hate the media and all this "terrorist are gonna take over the world" crap they spit out, and these guys were totally making them look like the paranoid vultures that they are.

It is not a hoax, the word is being misused.

hoax /hoʊks/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[hohks]
–noun 1. something intended to deceive or defraud: The Piltdown man was a scientific hoax.
–verb (used with object) 2. to deceive by a hoax; hoodwink.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Origin: 1790–1800; perh. contr. of hocus]

So, since these were merely signs to advertise Aqua Teen Hunger Force and were not intended to decieve people in anyway, the word hoax is being misused here. It was not a hoax, it was an advertising campaign that some old folks didn't understand so they flew off the handle and blew things out of proportion on an atomic bomb scale.

I just cut and pasted the rest of this this from my post in the other thread about it:

Next thing you know Bugs Bunny will be arrested for cross dressing, Elmer Fudd charged with poaching, and Aladdin will be accused of kidnapping and terrorism...

I love how they constantly refer to this as a "Hoax" when it was a F*CKING ADVERTISING PROMOTION! It is not a hoax, they did not say "OH WE PLACED MOONINITE BOMBS ALL OVER BOSTON... HAHAHAHA JUST LIGHTS WE FOOLED YOU BOSTON"

Next thing you know somebody will be arrested because their Christmas lights are still up and some jerk-off thinks they are some sort of terrorist signaling device.
