Square the Quad-Laser and you have, behold: The Quad-Glaser.

A guerilla marketing scheme for Aqua Teen Hunger Force went horribly awry in Boston today.

oooops.

While I do think it was a pretty retarded idea to put things with visible circuit boards and wires underneath bridges, it's not exactly accurate to call it a "hoax," as the Governor of Massachusetts did. I doubt the folks at Adult Swim, or whoever came up with this, really wanted to scare people into thinking there were bombs planted all over their city with freakin Ignignokt on them.

But who knows. Perhaps their plan is just advanced beyond all that we can possibly imagine with 100% of our brains.

(Thx to Pablo for the story. Incredible how fast this shit gets thrown up on Wikipedia.)

The marketing company that placed the devices is called Interference, out of NYC

A feature length film based on the show is slated for release March 23.

Holy crap!

Well I guess they got a head start-- Borat had to actually release his movie before getting sued.

These things were up in 10 other cities for weeks and they didn't bitch so much.
I say Boston is a pussy.

Would've been more effective if they'd left a few of them sticking out of abandoned backpacks strategically placed in major airports. Coulda shut the whole country down.

C'mon mooninites, you're totally slipping.

I think it would have been funnier if they actually WERE bombs that exploded when messed with, intricately splattering the blood of its innocent victims to say "just kidding!" on the pavement in helvetica!

no wait, that's not funny.

Yeah, my first instinct is to say Boston is filled with a bunch of pussies.

My second instinct is to blame bush for making our law enforcement and citizens actually scared of blinking lights.

But really i shouldn't judge, cuz i wasn't there, i didn't see these "bombs".

Oh wait, there's a picture of the "Bomb" on wikipedia. Ok, now i can judge. They're all pussies.

Apparantly, this whole stunt is all about...hair.

Either they're supercool or superstoopid.

That's funny- dready dude at the end was the one that they arrested. They showed him being driven away in a police car on the evening news last night. Clearly a ruthless terrorist who hates our liberty.

SIR! WE NEED YOU TO DROP THE LITE BRITE AND PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!!
