[EchoOfSilence]

Crazy marketing ploy

[azndummie]

lol sucks for that dude

[TiNMAN]

what a retard

[Brian]

Don't fucking say Boston was bombed when it wasn't.

[GSXRJJordan]

just read about that from Slashdot. I don't watch ATHF, but I thought it was funny as hell. Supposedly theres some up here in LA...

[Frosty_spl]

I want to put one in my room!!!

[aa87]

I want one. Its ridiculous how everyone freaks out now, its like they are communist spy devices and we are in a cold war all over again.

[alexchanman]

haha, i live in boston. i was getting a helmet for snowboarding as boston university was getting evacuated across the street. i eventually crossed the street and talked with the BU girls. they were scared shitlesss about what was happening.

[spdfreek0o]

It's insane that these would cause a bomb scare. What is the world coming to? I think it's stupid that they are going to arraign a guy for a harmless ad campaign.

[TheTimanator]

I've been watching Futurama and Family Guy and they keep putting the Turner broadcasting companies apology up almost every comercial break.
I guess this is the explanation.

It is outrageous, in a post 9/11 world, that a company would use this type of marketing scheme. I am prepared to take any and all legal action against Turner Broadcasting and its affiliates for any and all expenses incurred during the response to today’s incidents
stupid sue happy, paranoid world!

USA is turning into a bunch of pussy paranoid fagots. This pisses me off in so many way I can't even begin to explain and not going to waste my time.

Who ever was in charge of this whole fucking fiasco should pay! ie the mayor, head of the bomb squad etc etc. Not the people who ran this harmless ad campaign.

All the fucking idiots that called in these so called bombs should pay. Not the people who ran the ad campaign.

No one on the police could figure out that it was a fucking LED throwie of Ignignokt and Err. FUCKING MORONS!!!! They should pay for throwing the entire city into a panic and now they want to blame someone else.

We are fucking doomed as a country.

[Dorifto89]

Fuckin Mooninites.

(link) (http://raplica.com/store/shirts/Adlt_Swim/mooninite) T-shirt says "ATHF is the bomb."


couple thoughts:
sad thing is that they have been there for weeks, and they just now noticed it.
second, wtf was the police thinking, they look nothing like a bomb. if a vcr fell out of the back of a truck, would they call the bomb squad too?
third, it's pathetic that they want to try to prosecute because they were embarassed by their own stupidity. it was not a 'hoax' it was a misunderstanding.
fourth, the advertisers should have been a little smarter in the locations they chose.

[ManoNegra]

^ damn.. capitalism ftw!

[0100]

^agree!

Whatever Turner Broadcasting paid these guys, they should double it. :D

Oh and this (http://money.cnn.com/2007/02/02/news/companies/turner.reut/index.htm?section=money_latest) is bullshit.

[Cash]

haha, I read about that today on the front page of the atlanta journal constitution. 5 of those things showed up on ebay and one of them had a bid of $1,000. ...i can see how lite-brite would look like a bomb..but only when i stick my head really far up my ass.

[Edgar]

everything is a bomb now days


and again

carl fucking did it

[McRussellPants]

Boston is now and forever a heap pile of faggots.


THEY HAD WIRES AND CIRCUT BOARDS AND THEY WEREN'T POWERED BY STEAM, IT HAS TO BE A BOMB!


fucking old people

[LB.Motoring]

hahaha and watch.

[revat619]

how could somebody possibly think that was a bomb....It was powered by 4 effing durecell batteries. Not to mention IT DOESNT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE A DAMN BOMB. This country gets gayer every year. Looks like 2007 is starting with bean town.

Boston sucks. The moon rules #1.

[alexchanman]

anyone have this mooninite as a decal???? i wanna put it on my snowboard.

[ManoNegra]

I love this story. I hear that the city of Boston wants them to pay a 1 million dollar fine or something.

edit -
City and State officials have come to an agreement with Turner Broadcasting to pay for costs incurred during the incident. As part of a settlement that resolves all criminal and civil claims, Turner Broadcasting Systems and Interference Inc. have agreed to pay $2 million. $1 million of this will go towards the Boston police department, and $1 million will go towards homeland security. In addition, Turner released a statement to take responsibility and apologize for the incident.

[axiomatik]

Turner Broadcasting agreed to pay them $2 million to cover the costs of Boston's stupidity. OMG!!! Those LEDs could blow at any moment!!!!!

[SimpleSexy180]

turner can afford it lol

I kind of agree with you like completely :coolugh:

I I ever work in Politics im using that line "That's also not a hair question"

[irax]

even in the bible, i for got how its said, but America is doomed.

[juice.def]

waz def one of the best marketing skeems but now an honest man will go to jail 4 polices stupidity itz sad in my opinion..

[jrmiller84]

I hope they dont take ATHF off the air, i dont watch it, but i like knowing its there when i want to. It is f-ckin funny tho. That and sealab 2021


I don't think they'll get taken off the air, the characters themselves have nothing to do with terrorism. Maybe stealing ;)

I hope they do the opposite, I hope they stay on the air and then make an episode where the mooninites make a reference to the incident or an episode where the mooninites are in Boston. :keke:
