Insineratehymn Account deleted	Permalink 09.02.2007 - 00:24 Insineratehymn Account deleted This story is about a week old, but quite interesting nonetheless. Apparently, these two dudes were promoting the upcoming Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie, and to do it, they created LED symbols of the Mooninites (two characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force). They placed these LED symbols all over the city of Boston, and they were there for nearly two weeks. When the LED symbols were finally noticed, the entire city freaked out and thought they were bombs planted by terrorists. It wasn't until they tried remotely detonating them did they realize that it was just a harmless LiteBrite fixture. You can read the whole story here. Opinions? Comments? Loading...

Winter Death Account deleted	Permalink 10.02.2007 - 04:20 Winter Death Account deleted The real shit of it all is that those things have been up for like 3 weeks in numerous cities. Way to go Boston for finally realizing that something was horribly out of place in your shitty city almost a month after they were put up. Now only imagine if those were real bombs. Would it take 3 weeks for someone to notice those? Loading...

The most disgusting thing I heard this month by a news anchor was "You know... this story really shows us how vulnerable we are."
