Boston's Scared of 8-Bit Finger Flippers

A marketing campaign for Cartoon Network's Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie went awry Wednesday in Boston when several of Cartoon Network's blinking signs were mistaken for bombs causing a terror alert throughout the city that included blowing up at least one of the lights by the city's bomb squad. Check out what caused all the stir here.

The charges were (see finally) dropped against the marketeers putting up the signs, but apparently Turner Broadcasting (who paid them) will be fined for the publicity stunt. More info - ATHF Wikipedia entry

Seriously America, are you that afraid?
