Aqua Teen Hunger Force number one on the hood G.
So, we all know what happened, I don't need to rehash the ATHF incident in Boston. But [adult swim] (look at the idiots with their apology) got EXACLTY what they were looking for. MASSIVE publicity beyond what I even think they anticipated. So the speech impared mayor of Boston, Tom Manino gonna send them a bill (it cost the city a 1 million dollars)? Who cares, they will write it up to marketing expenses. ATHF has a movie coming out in March, and movie that cost the only $750,000 to make. I find it funny listening to the out of touch morning shows, who never even heard of ATHF, but use soundbites from the show constantly. Some of these idiots are even calling for the FCC to pull it off the air. Dudes, even my 50 year old parents know what Aqua Teen Hunger Force is.

The begs some questions though.
1. All these ads had been up for 10 - 14 days, and it took one jogger to see one and think it was a bomb to get this response.
2. Why Boston? Why not the other 10 cities were these were placed? Is Boston just that unhip? Or is Boston hyper sensitive. Is there that much of a gap between generations?
3. Even more interesting, CNN.com broke this story and went with it. CNN's parent company is Turner Broadcasting and Time Warner owns the whole shebang. Cartoon Network and [adult swims] parent company are also Turner and Time Warner. So, why did CNN run with this story for 2 - 3 hours? Shouldn't some situation have developed where executives of Turner contact each other to quicky diffuse the situation? Or is CNN part of the marketing for ATHF?
4. Now a poor immigrant artist is going to take the fall for this, get deported back to his home Belarus, from which he is basically is political exile from? For just doing a job.
