1037: "We smoke as we shoot the bird."

I don't have words to describe how pleased I am about this...

"When Silly Promotions Go Bad (Where Are NYC's Mooninites?)"
(from Gothamist)

As part of a promotion for Adult Swim's Aqua Teen Hunger Force, a series of wee, Lite Brite-like contraptions were hung around a handful of major cities in the U.S. I haven't actually seen any in here in NYC, which is disappointing, but in Boston, the signs were evidently mistaken for being potential bombs.

What?!

Who would make a bomb that looked like a little, light-up, cartoon man?

I can't tell what I love about this incident more -- the wild overreaction in Boston or that whenever you see footage of the Police investigating one of these signs, you can clearly see a Mooninate flipping everyone off. Brilliant.

Edited to add: Check out the work of all the lovely people in this LiveJournal community - The Boston Community

"You and your third dimension!"

Who created this? I love you.
