This was on the news all day but I've been disregarding it. I didn't know it was an ATHF character

(I know who that character is but its my first time seeing the "device")

Blame the overblown reaction on this fuckwad

Hes calling what happened "Outrageous" and that hes "Outraged" and the governors office is looking into ways they can sue Time Warner

I HATE MITT ROMNEY

governors office? He isn't governor anymore. He didn't run for reelection after his first term.

He would have lost if he did, MA turned against him quick. He didn't run because losing would kill his presidential run.

Boston cops don't "do" guerilla marketing, period. It's like asking them to understand why a guy might wax his eyebrows, or wear girl jeans, or watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #26 on:** January 31, 2007, 10:23:17 PM »

On the local news, they blew apart one of the ATHF devices with a water cannon. Another one you see being reeled away by a line

Its so ridiculous seeing a moonite being reeled away in slow motion...its just surreal

. Oh gosh

TVC15 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 31, 2007, 10:31:39 PM »

And you people were badmouthing this season of ATHF. Did you ever expect them, EVER, to bring you as many laughs as you've had today? I bet arrests of middle easterners went up by a factor of 4 today in Boston.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #28 on:** January 31, 2007, 10:32:49 PM »

This is the greatest thing ever, and my love of Aqua Teen Hunger Force just shot up ten fold. Especially since Bruce Campbell is in the movie.

It's a small production and most of the screenings have been negative, with very little detail except:

OMG THIS IS LONG AND VERY, VERY distinguished mentally-challenged.

It could be an epic trainwreck, but I'm there for Bruce Campbell and to support the terrorizing-loving Mooninites.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #34 on:** January 31, 2007, 10:46:02 PM »

Also, the cartoon has very little support amongst the Internet geek movie crowd. Almost everyone on the AICN, Dark Horizons and other 'net media outlets publically hate the show. Harry posted the trailer and said he thought the show was stupid and the animation was awful.

I dunno, I'm sure it will easily recoup costs and make some cash due to this new awesome marketing campaign, courtesy of the paranoid and distinguished mentally-challenged people of Boston!

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #37 on:** January 31, 2007, 10:53:33 PM »

I highly doubt that the movie cost much, if anything, to actually make... so I'm sure it'll make a large profit, even if it was straight to DVD.

But in response to Boston for jailing people over this, I'm there DAY ONE.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #38 on:** January 31, 2007, 11:04:24 PM »

They showed the guy that seems to be taking the brunt of the media attacks (the dude that setup the mooninite boards). They've labeled him as a "struggling artist". He looks like a stoner and he has those white boy dreads (with a goatee)

Fricken hilarious. Fox 25 (local news) also interviewed some early 20 geeks about ATHF, it was awkward watching them try to explain what ATHF is without stammering like they had a severe studdering problem.

it's easy to laugh at the response, but what you have had them do?

in this day and age, they had no choice but to respond as they did.

whoever thought it was a smart idea to place these "devices" at strategic points -- bridges, transportation, etc. -- should be fired.

it's amusing, i guess, especially the obvious disconnect between these politicians and popular culture.

but once you stop laughing, you wonder what would have happened had they done nothing, and the "devices" turned out to be bombs.

Really, futami, this is a FAILURE either way. Not only were harmless adverts identified as suspicious, but they were identified as such 3 weeks after they had been on the streets. I doubt terrorists would be leaving bombs in plain sight for a month.

This is a total and complete failure any way you cut it. America BLOWS.
