Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, January 31, 2007

This is one of the greatest days of my media-hating life. All day long, CNN has been soundbyting the entire debacle in its own special bumbling, idiotic way. Moments ago, they revealed all of the packages are part of a media campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force - a cartoon featured in Adult Swim - delivered by CNN's parent company, Turner broadcasting.

Admin's note: This weblog entry is an unmoderated discussion.

So apparently this is a Cartoon Network stunt involving this character.

This could be interesting.

As CNN is focused on Iraq while their editors are either receiving their instructions or shitting their pants, FOX gleefully continues its diligent coverage of the 'hoax' in Boston.

"It hurt like six bitches in a bitch boat"

was a "fargate" used in the hoax?

OK I will stop with the ATHF references. I love that show though.

Speaking of Fox News, here's a snippit from their coverage.

"They have been in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, and Philadelphia.

I am surprised they would reveal that Homeland Security is effectively an expensive farce.

Here's a bunch of photos from Jan 15th showing the little critter and the PCB. www.flickr.com

this is what happens in blue states full of liberals who have been disarmed and feminized by the democrats.

ATFH rocks! Thanks to the morons who run Boston there are now millions of people who never even heard of ATHF who will probably be watching tonight to see what the big deal is.

Don't forget Squidbillies and Assy McGee.

This is one of the best shows on television...

If you haven't seen the episodes called Dickesode, or Hand Banana you are really missing out. Dickesode has to be one of the greatest moments in television since the moon landing.

It's unbelieveable that a marketing campaign could be thought of as terrorism. The piece doesn't remotely look like any kind of explosive and has a cartoon character on it's face in lights! I can't believe this is such a big deal. Boo frickin hoo.

On a side note it doesn't surprise me that Fox followed this story as hard as they could.

Speaking of which, where has Carl Brutananadilewski been lately?

Just say SMITH!

Rasta, I hear that if you say *his* name three times in a mirror, Corky from Life Goes On appears in your bathroom.

I'll have to try that.
Total ReCarl

Don't forget Squidbillies and Assy McGee.
eh, I can easily forget these two. But I love ATHF, especially the Mooninites.

But I just don't understand this. Who the hell sees a lighted cartoon character and decides it's a bomb???? Is this what we've reduced to, paralyzed by fear like this?

What terrorist is going to make a bomb call atention to itself?

Can't laugh anymore!!!!!!!!!!
Yankee, liberal, numb nuts!!!!
Ted will probably ask for funding for a study!
Which will run over budget of course.
Quick, run to Boston and join the Greater Boston sign security and inspectors union!

Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network is running a long apology before every show tonight.

oh we are soooo scared of the cartoon. oh no! i'm going to piss myself in fear of a fucking cartoon blinking light. you sheep amaze me. oh no everyone is a terrorist!!! omg i'm just going to stay in my house and hide. i'm sooo scared. what a bunch of hype shit. these blinking light ads have been in 9 other cities for 3 weeks already. 3 weeks! boston officals if nothing else should be embarassed at thier incompetence. the news coverage of this is simply absurd.

Can't laugh anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Hey BLT, why do you keep switching screen names?

No BLT here.

boston officals if nothing else should be embarassed at thier incompetence.

This never fails to amuse me.

Should I say it? What hell.
This has got to be Affirmative Actions finest hour!

Okay, I'll bite.
What the hell are you babbling about?

"where has Carl Brutananadilewski been lately?"

I was under the impression that he went by "FuckYou" now.

The last thing considered for public employment, is ability.

"Speaking of which, where has Carl Brutananadilewski been lately?"
I'm right here!

the only reason that guy was arrested for this is because he made the entire city of boston look like dipshit retard fools.

there's one on ebay. Its up to $3000!!!

Actually, the reaction in Boston is from the right wing, not liberals. Who the heck do you think watches shows like ATHF, Republicans?

The worst thing is a closet liberal.

So it was just little black boxes with a stick figure flipping off the world? Ted Turner's "brain" child heh??

Boston officials are checking out other reports of blinking devices hanging in major intersections around the city, they have red yellow and green lights that seem to be timed...Boston police will close down roads and blow up the devices just in case.

Boston has discovered another suspicious device at a subway station with the words Etch-a-Sketch scratched on the case. Developing.

Actually, the reaction in Boston is from the right wing, not liberals.

And the Cons are calling Who pants pissers?

I think they've made an arrest now. In any event, using liberal logic it only makes sense to arrest Ted Truner since he's the one who created this corporate monster.

So the great city of Boston is reduced to pandemonium by a freeking light bright?

Impressive.

Numba one in da hood, G.

Boycott Boston.

they take offense the aquateen signs, an american media landmark, while still the CITGO sign stands.

Boycott Boston!!!

Don't forget Squidbillies and Assy McGee.

the squidbillies are the BOMB..oh did I say that?

This is too funny. ATHF was created by liberals, marketed by liberals and watched by liberals. But the "conservatives" on this site seem to think that it was liberals who were panicking. And who were the "cons" calling? 911. Fox, being the voice of Sauron for 6-years now, dutifully recorded the panic and fanned the flames.

Freedom of speech is a liberal value. Panic over lite-brites is conservative. Why is that so hard for young liberals to admit who they are? Are they forced by their parents into their ridiculous posturing?

Anyway, they've arrested the two artists (liberals). One of them is in the states on a green card. I wonder if the "conservatives" on this site are going to rise to defend the artists and "guerilla marketers" (again, a liberal concept)?

I am trying to follow everyone's comments on this. I listened to the news yesterday on the local central mass radio stations while I drove to Ashland, Mass. They picked up the feeds from CNN, MSNBC and FOX. All kept adding up the number found. It was a case of the 24-hour stations having to report something every 15 minutes. The local ABC affiliate, WHDH, kept up with the numbers also, 4 found, 6, 7, 9, etc.

Now remember Boston is a city run by Democrats, in a state run by Democrats and a press and media run by liberals. What you got is pure and simple reporting for reporting sake by the press.

The reaction is by the liberals in the aftermath. Everyone is claiming that things went by the book. I guess if it took 3 to 4 weeks to find these promotional things here in Boston and they haven't been found in the other places, this is okay by the liberals.

The lumpy old thing just won't spin, will it Ward? Keep trying...you might achieve some centrifugal apogee on it yet.

In other news, I think there should be a serious review of the competence of the Boston Bomb Squad if they couldn't determine from 5 seconds of inspection of the true threat of what they were dealing with. Somebody needs to go back to bomb school. They actually blew one up in the middle of the road. And if these cartoon terror devices had already been been discovered in other cities weeks before, why wasn't there some kind of interagency bulletins issued between the PDs of all those cities to be on the lookout? Ad prank gone bad, hell! I'm more worried about the total absence of communication and coordination in our exhaulted Home Land Security apparatus. Hanging a couple of art students out to dry ain't gonna fix that, now is it?

This kind of irrational hysteria is what happens when you condition your populace to be afraid all the time.

Dutch46, although they are immature to the point where you wonder how they ever got credit cards and cell phones, these weren't students or kids. They are adults working for a marketing company. By the sounds of things they weren't getting the attention they thought they would from the stunt so they started calling 911.

It was their aim to stir up a fuss and they succeeded. Now they'll have to pay for their stunt. It may be cash or it may be jail time but they will pay. Maybe they should serve their time in Iraq? Perhaps Doorknob Rob can convince them to sign up with him when he enlists.


How are you taking it seriously, by causing "widespread panic and destruction." (reporter question at news conference with Sean Stevens and Peter Berdovsky)

"Level 3, beware the Gorgarton. He's in love. "

"Shoot em' in the head!"

"Head shot, rampage, killing spree!"

"You have mastered Moon Master, you are the Moon Master!"

"No f--king way!"

"Yes way Err."

(Aqua Teen Hunger Force -- Moon Master)

I always knew that Err was a terrorist. As soon as all those Bostonians saw him flipping them off, they immediately came to the same realization.

Wait till they get a load of Balloonenstein. :-)

Once again George W. Bush has saved us all from the evils of 80s era video game characters. Thank heaven for God Emperor Bush and the paranoia he has brought to our great country.
