I mean, come on! You know something is wrong if an advertisement causes that much alarm. On a side note, Aqua Teen Hunger Force is going to have a sudden rise in popularity.

No other city shutdown, thusly overreacting, not even in the POTUS' backyard of Austin, Texas. So, because the BPD overreacted, thusly the media shooting it's wad in a hype-gasm, we're not treated to way to much inaccurate information about Aqua Teen Hunger Force. *grins* Poor schmucks, the BPD just did it's job, was probably forced into overaction by a eager/fame wanting leadership who wanted to look good and now they're covering their butts by pressing charges on two, in my view, funny guys. Misunderstanding + Overreaction x Media Hypegasm = Idiotic hilarity ensuing.

Saying it was a breeding ground for anti-american slackers and pot-heads. As a MassArt student this blows my mind at how ignorant someone can be. Carr has never been to a traditional art school and shouldn't say shit like all artists are slackers and just waste time smoking pot til inspiration hits. I myself spend hours upon hours working to perfect my art, and I'm sure not just Hawk but Ananth as well can appreciate where I am coming from. Since story writing is a creative art in my book as well. I also hate how people that major in accounting and business think being an artist is the easiest thing in the world, but I don't want to harp on that here.

It doesn't look like a bomb. So what of ot has wires and what not showing? That just means they didn't feel like hiding them or they couldn't figure a way to do it. Really what needs to happen is they need to show some of them from the other cities so we can see if they were all like that or not. REally whats the world coming to? It doesn’t look like a bomb.

And the police should have at least taken into consideration that it could have been something other than a bomb. they don't deserve a million dollar fine, or 5-7 years in prison, maybe a big fine for screwing up, and a month maybe. But seriously, they overreacted because they screwed up themselves(police/officials). It was some seriously bad marketing skills, they should have made it more evident that it was an advertisement.

None of the news agencies would have had to mention ATHF, they could have just said "a Turner television show".

The saddest part about that article is that Howie Carr was harping on with things like 'oh well I have a job and such so I'm so much better and more grown up than him' while as the same time proving he is ten times as ignorant and immature.
