After pushing back the release date of the feature film adaptation of the Cartoon Network's show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," the studio and its marketing company made a BIG splash with their campaign to promote the show.
Nine electronic light boards featuring one of the show's characters (a Mooninite) triggered bomb scares around Boston on Wednesday, spurring authorities to close highways, two bridges and a stretch of the Charles River before bomb squads determined the devices were harmless, according to CNN.
For those of you who don't know, the Mooninites are "outer-space delinquents" who are often depicted giving the middle finger. Apparently, the Mooninite on the light boards greeted authorities in this manner as well.

In case anyone hasn't seen the video of the Aqua Teen guys talking to the media, you should watch it. At the beginning of the press conference, they told the reporters that they have been advised by their lawyers not to answer questions, but they WOULD answer questions about "hair". And thats exactly what they did.
