The genius Boston Police Department, thought that Lite Brite inspired advertisements, (shown here) were the work of extremist terrorists. Obviously, you can see how they would make the mistake, as these cartoon characters lit up with tiny lights, and flipping off the public, look dangerous and deadly. The whole situation came about, when 2 men working for the TV show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, went around town in a Turner Broadcasting approved, guerrilla advertising campaign. They were placing these inventive advertisements around the Boston area, to drum up interest in the upcoming Aqua Teen Hunger Force theatrical release, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres, opening in March 2007 (link to movie trailer here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCuGUzALu7I). The cartoon show has been a successful staple, on Cartoon Networks, Adult Swim lineup, for the past 4 years.
The accused men defended their advertising campaign, and brought up interesting notes on haircuts, and their importance on society, in a press conference after they were released from jail on bail (link to press conference here-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJkTNJ7BM9I). Police actually blew up one of the ads of Ignignokt (a Mooninite character from Aqua Teen Hunger Force), and were visibly upset and demanding Turner Broadcasting repay all the money used to quell the vicious frightening terrorist attack.
People all over Boston were reacting to the event with laughter, as many were aware of what the signs were, and began blogging about the situation immediately, pointing out how ignorant and sad the Police Department were. Way to go pigs, you really did your research, and didn't react with panic and excessive action, to a prank.
By the by, if you have not seen Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sunday nights on Cartoon Networks Adult Swim, you should really check it out. Its a hilarious show and the forthcoming movie will be great as well.
