Frylock is going to be pissed


The good folks at Cartoon Network had a great idea for a stealth marketing campaign for the upcoming Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. They placed little light up panels showing Err flipping the bird.

Nice and cute. The problem is that they failed to tell the good folks in Boston, who seem to be taking this whole war on terror thing seriously. Not knowing what these things were the cops closed several streets and tunnels and sent in the bomb squads. Click here for story.

The best part about the story is how AP tries to explain just what Aqua Teen Hunger Force is. "Turner Broadcasting, a division of Time Warner Inc. and parent of Cartoon Network, said the devices were part of a promotion for the TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," a surreal series about a talking milkshake, a box of fries and a meatball." Meatwad, not meatball.
