"Any Publicity is Good Publicity" or "Terror-Tactics are Great For Business"
i knew the show was stupid, but this just takes the cake:BOSTON - Nine blinking electronic devices planted at bridges and other spots in Boston threw a scare into the city Wednesday in what turned out to be a marketing campaign for a late-night cable cartoon. At least one of the devices depicts a character giving the finger.
...
Turner Broadcasting, parent company of Cartoon Network, said the devices were part of a promotion for the TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."
...
The cartoon also includes two trouble-making, 1980s-graphic-like characters called "mooninites," named Ignignokt and Err - who were pictured on the suspicious devices. They are known for making the obscene hand gesture depicted on the devices.
Boston devices a cartoon marketing ploy
i guess, Aqua Teen falls into the "shit i don't get" pop-culture category. i'm all about Cartoon Network giving them a venue to try new styles and giving the public access to fresh ideas (a la "Liquid Television" on MTV), but most of it is just plain bad. innovative doesn't necessarily equate quality. regardless, this just sounds like a half-baked stunt. ¿anyone got any clue?
speaking of amusing shit i apparently don't get, ¿could someone explain to me the appeal behind "Achewood"? 'cuz i'm lost
