Aqua Teen bomb scare?

Yeah, I guess I read right. Today, in the grand city of Boston, Turner Broadcasting unleashed its outdoor marketing campaign for the new Aqua Teen movie I mentioned a little bit ago. Here's what they looked like:












It looks like a Lite-Brite, those things we all used to play with as kids where you put colored pegs onto a backlit screen. You all know. Here's what it looks like lit up:














Well, it's powered by 4 batteries, and the plan was they were going to place them all around the city on roadways and other high traffic areas, and when the sensor it had on it was activated (by movement I'm sure) it would light up. If you can't tell, that's Err and Ignignokt. You know:












Err and Ignignokt.

There were 9 of them placed around the city. Pretty funny right?

Well, I guess the Boston Police don't watch [adult swim], because they mistook them for bombs. Every single one of them. They brought out bomb squads, stopped morning rush hour traffic and a train, blew the things up, the whole 9. They even arrested the guy who installed them! Eventually, Turner Broadcasting came out and said "Whoa, whoa guys! They're not bombs!, they're our damn ads! Thanks for blowing the shit out of them though, because now I'm sure we'll get WAY more press!" And then Ted Turner did his little Family Guy laugh. You all know the one. Here are some pictures of the events:


































I guess you can't blame them right? But you sure as hell can laugh! You know why? They're flipping the bird the whole time. This is easily the best picture of the bunch, and with this I leave you:








HAHAHA!
