The United States of Paranoia?

...or, How Advertising is Really Terrorism.

Boston was paralyzed in fear yesterday as a series of advertisements for an upcoming movie based on the Adult Swim/Cartoon Network show, "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," were mistaken for BOMBS.

Basically, the advertising consisted of a magnetically-backed Lite-Brite-style board, which displayed images of series antagonists the Mooninites (a.k.a. Ignignokt and Err) flipping the bird to passersby, strategically placed so as to be noticed. Unfortunately, in our "terrorists are coming to get YOU!" mentality that the Bush cabal has fostered in us, these devices were considered suspicious, and arrests have been made.

Are we Americans... or cowards?

Interestingly enough, these displays are up in many cities, including New York, and NO incidents of "OMG suspicious package!" have occurred.

Oh, and if you are unfamiliar with the ATHF... get a frickin' clue already!!! Best cartoon on TV that does not come from Japan, far and away.
