Suspicious devices part of marketing plan
Promotion of ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’ cartoon closes Boston bridges

BOSTON - At least nine electronic devices planted at bridges and other spots in Boston threw a scare into the city Wednesday in what a cable network said was a marketing campaign for a late-night cartoon.

Highways, bridges and a section of the Charles River were shut down and bomb squads were sent in before authorities declared the devices were harmless.

“It’s a hoax — and it’s not funny,” said Gov. Deval Patrick before the objects were determined to be part of an ad campaign.

Turner Broadcasting, parent company of Cartoon Network, said the devices, which consisted of magnetic, blinking lights, were part of a promotion for the TV show “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.”

Yeah, there you go, your tax dollars hard at work protecting you from fictional 2D aliens. God are people fucking paranoid and stupid.

Err has caused more destruction than could be expected.

Good thing people are so paranoid, we could really have a problem if someone saw a wad of c4 with a clock strapped to it and DID NOTHING! Dear god, I mean, a million bridges would be destroyed this year alone!

Well Jinx you must consider what state this is in.

The Peoples Republic of MA.

A state filled with government FREAKS.

They're giving these people shite about the cool blinking toy. Something that
is so blantantly obvious yet the MAPD and investigators have the lowest crimes solved in the entire U.S.A.

MA is a state filled with crime and deception...don't ever move to that state
unless you are on welfare. Then its good times...free money.

Lol retards.

o_sizeablessonic · 02-01-2007, 01:59 AM

Kinda stupid in a way, but you gotta think about it: they had probably never watched the show, and thus didn't know what they were from.

o_theres *nothing* here · 02-01-2007, 02:02 AM

I fucking love that show.

o_geokill-----> · 02-01-2007, 02:08 AM

Well it could of been a group of terrorist that used that Cartoon as a Terror symbol, but yeah precaution was really needed. We do live in crazy dangerous years.

Anyways I think they are going to fined The Turner Company

o_jinx · 02-01-2007, 02:43 AM

Think something similar happened with the people who were putting Mario [?] boxes up all over the place. To not recognize something from Mario Bros you must be a pop culture retard.

o_geokill-----> · 02-01-2007, 03:08 AM

But it doesn't matter if it was recognized or not, or were are you going with this?

o_jinx · 02-01-2007, 03:53 PM

OMFGZ TERRORISTS

o_fastbilly1 · 02-01-2007, 04:07 PM

Reminds me of the radio production of War of the Worlds. Actually it saddens me to think that the modern day equivalent of its impact would be caused by Aqua Teen...

o_mooga · 02-01-2007, 04:31 PM

For some reasion this is "HUGE NEWS" and everyone in the media is talking abouy it. Stupid ads for a stupid show, who really gives a damn?

o_ihmhi · 02-01-2007, 04:42 PM

I mean come on here. If terrorists were going to plant bombs somewhere, they would do it somewhere where they could not be easily seen, like on the underside of a bridge where it is structurally weak.

Erm...

/me awaits the FBI... -.-'

o_|404|innoc-tpf- · 02-01-2007, 04:44 PM

Ok, now I'm waiting for the headline

"CIA BlackOPS Raid Cartoon Network Headquarters"
