Viral Marketing or Terrorist Attack?!
By Ryan Johnson on Wednesday, January 31st, 2007A viral marketing attempt is mistaken for a series of bombs placed around Boston this morning, and completely disrupt rush hour traffic. The campaign consists of light brights made of LEDs and are apparently characters called “Mooninites” from the adult cartoon, “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.”
After the first sightings of the unknown devices the police were called on the scene to investigate the ‘bombs’. The bomb squad detonated a few of the devices and have declared that the light brights are an apparent ‘hoax’.
“It’s a hoax — and it’s not funny,” said Gov. Deval Patrick.
But personally I think its hilarious that you could possibly mistake an adult swim character light bright for a Bomb!
In a news conference, the two men charged with the hoax had been advised that not to discuss the incident.
Stevens and Berdovsky took the podium and said they were taking questions only about haircuts in the 1970s.
