Mooninite Mayhem

Err on a Lite-Brite
 

Man, so much to rant about. As far as the Mooninite thing, I was going to be brief but I can’t hold my tongue. Washington, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and New York all didn’t bat an eyelash at these effin’ lite-brights, and thats all they really were. They weren’t “hoax devices” because there was no hoax. It was marketing. At best you could call them street art, and at worst they are improvised billboards.

So, New York, (and I hate to bring this up, but it makes a good point) the place were 9/11 happened, didn’t get scared in the least at these home-made light-brights, but Boston feels the need not only to freak out, but their Mayor says he’s “outraged” and that an apology isn’t enough.

They claim the responsible parties should pay for the “estimated hundreds of thousands of dollars it cost the city to respond to the bomb scares”, but who turned it into a “bomb scare”? The City. Not the creators, not turner, not [Adult Swim] or the advertising group. No, it was the City of Boston, and they need to pay for their own alarmist behavior.

My point is this: Mayor Thomas Menino and all the other alarmists in Boston are a bunch of pussies. I hate use crude language for fear of sounding ignorant, but thats exactly what they are: big, whiny pussies.

The upshot to all of this is the fact that since all publicity is good publicity, Aqua Teen Hunger Force (The show that “Err” is from) is going to get more attention than they ever dreamed of.

Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I’m off to spray-paint a picture of a bob-omb on Faneuil Hall.

Update: Jesse made us this lovely Anti-Terrorism poster:

Just Say No
