Gotta love how Boston is the only city flipping out over those silly light-brite mooninite thingies scattered around promoting the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. None of the other 9 cities they've been placed at for three months now raised any shit. The media and mayor Menino are trying to spin it as a "hoax" but it is not a fucking hoax. The things don't look like bombs, they weren't intended to scare people, and there's been a huge billboard with mooninites on it advertising the movie on the very highway where they were discovered near. Also, fake pipe bombs were recently discovered but that story is not getting any attention. Not interesting enough to sensationalize, I suppose.
"Mooninites" are those little space-invader looking things at the beginning of the ATHF intro, in case you're wondering.
It took the city 3 months to notice these things and more than 8 hours of panic before discovering that these "devices" are harmless. Glad to see that security's improved around here since we let the 9-11 hijackers slip through Logan.
