Aqua Teen Hunger Force Sparks Bomb Panic in Boston

The bomb squads of Boston are scrambling after a number of suspicious packages were left littered around the city and its suburbs, containing blinking lights and exposed circuitry. The panicked pandemonium has caused the entire city to go into code red terrorist alert.

The only problem? It's not a terrorist threat. It's an advertising campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

The advertising devices themselves were magnetic computer motherboards with the Lite-Brite face of the Mooninites displayed on the side, magnetically attached to bridges, underpasses, etc.

Apparently, the Bomb Squad has had to close down major roads and cordon off entire sections of the city to deal with the Mysterious Mooninite Devices. The traffic grid in Boston? Absolute chaos. And up until an hour ago, Adult Swim (through Turner Broadcast) hadn't even bothered to inform the city where all of the Mooninite bundles were located.

Needless to say, Turner Broadcast is now apologetically complying with Boston's authorities, but the campaign is also running in a host of US cities. So if you're in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, or any other of a dozen odd US cities... BEWARE THE MOONINITES!
