Breathe easy, New York City - the NYPD has removed the LED pieces with Aqua Teen Hunger Force's mooninite Ignignokt from locations. It's unclear where they were, but WNBC reported that one was at 54th Street and 9th Avenue. And don't worry, folks, the Boston police have arrested Peter Berdovsky for planting the LED devices. Berdovsky's website, Zebbler.com, shows the locations of 20 devices (or, as the Massachusetts authorities are calling them, "hoax devices").
Looking at the photos, you wonder how this looked suspicious to Boston police, because it looks like a light installation. Maybe the daylight and the one-fingered salute seemed threatening. Wait, the middle finger F.U. was scary to the media! At this point, the guerrilla marketing company behind the stunt, Interference Inc., says its CEO is traveling, so no comment, and its website seems down.
As for what probably spooked authorities, we guess it's the fact that some of these gimmicks were placed under bridges. Check out this video to see an installation:
This is no laughing matter to Boston authorities, though. Mayor Thomas Menino said in a press conference, "It is outrageous, in a post-9/11 world, that a company would use this type of marketing scheme." And he wants the FCC to pull Cartoon Network owner Turner Broadcasting's license. DA Daniel Conley of Boston's Suffolk County said, “The community was disrupted, transit routes were paralyzed, residents were stranded, and relatives across the nation were in fear for loved ones here in the city of Boston. Everyone can play a part by holding Turner Broadcasting to account for today’s event. Viewers, advertisers and licenseholders can and should make clear to them that this sort of behavior is reckless and illegal.” Reckless and illegal? Kind of like Boston's Big Dig?
What do you think of this incident? Is this more reason for the city to crack down on guerrilla street advertising? And should we feel comforted or disturbed that the devices left in NYC went pretty much unnoticed?
Some enterprising soul (aren't they all) is selling one on eBay. But if you don't want to shell out that kind of money, make a mooninite out of Lite Brite! Boing Boing pointed out that someone has made "Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the bomb" T-shirts. And you know tonight's ATHF ratings will be gangbusters! We're not sure how well the upcoming movie will do - it might be too much press, a la Snakes on a Plane, too soon.

I don't understand how a fictitional character shooting the bird caused the entire city of boston distress. Whoever decided that this advertising campagin was "threatening" needs to be fired.
I hear you Ben, but Boston keeps reelecting that retard Mayor Menino.
It kinda looks like that 'lightbright' game they used to sell when I was a kid. How the hell does that look threatening?
"And should we feel comforted or disturbed that the devices left in NYC were pretty much unnoticed?"
Like who cares?
And to tell you the truth, if terrorists did the same thing, they wouldn’t attract so much attention to the devices with lit up lightbrites.
Boston sux big time. Lame city, lame people and worst of all LAME ASS MORONS in charge... Keep those cartoons off the street while hosting al-qaeda terrorists Boston, we love ya!
If the boards had instead the picture of Charlie Brown would they also have shutdown Boston in fear? Turner should lauch a cartoon character discrimination suit against the city blockheads.
Is it not very often we see incompetence showcased so perfectly than when we watch Boston authorities dig their own grave with each press release concerning these signs. How totally sad :( Keep running your mouth Mayor Menino, we are listening...
Sorry guys,
i disagree. "Guerrilla Marketing"(?) of this sort has become an increasing problem. I remember when IBM chalked up NYC sidewalks for a promo. Did this firm actually have any intention of removing the items? IBM clearly didn't. Or were they going to pass the buck to the taxpayer?
Boston obviously overreacted, but that doesn't change the fact that these people are no more than pirates, using Public Space as though it were advertising space for which they had paid.
i agree, it does remind me of the old LiteBrite. not sure how this could have been mistaken for terror, and not "graffitti" or at worst a prank.
Wow it hurts when some kid says "Boston sux. Lame city, lame people and worst of all LAME ASS MORONS" I am guessing the poster is a valley girl with poor grammar skills. Yes our mayor sucks and the reaction here was extreme but how this indicts a whole city as "lame" is beyond me. Just for arguments sake where are you from "Bostonsux" and do you know that "sux" is not a word? Just wondering if your hometown has schools like Harvard and MIT, cause eductaion "sux" and is "lame" right?
how much 'eductaion' have you had?
go sam go!
I can kind of see where Boston is coming from with this. We can look at these installations and think they are cool, but we also have to realize that they could mask something a little more dangerous.
I don't deny that these are some really cool pieces and I wish I had gotten a chance to see them when they were around New York, but don't put up random unexplained electronic devices around cities when we have buses and subways being bombed in world capitals. Be smart and inform the authorities or something. I doubt it will diminish the cool factor of your campaign.
And P.S. I lived in Boston for six years and it does kinda suck. We have world class schools in New York as well as 24 hour public transportation and bars and delis that stay open past 2 a.m. We aren't the capital of the world for nothing.
The pix I saw looked like it had four D batteries with wires sticking out. Maybe someone thought it Unabomber-ish.
Uh, Dave, Harvard and MIT are in Cambridge not Boston.
All I know is: I WANT ONE. PLEEEESE?!?!?
You know whats interesting is that in the majority of the locations that these were placed, there is no other street art/grafitti... I'm not sure of the locations of the NYC or other city installations, but thought it was interesting. Also, do we know how long they were up and in place before all the hub bub? I think they look much more inoccuous during at night.
These things are supposedly in Austin as well, but I haven't seen any.
IMO, Boston authorities went Waaaaay overboard on this one. Yes. it's a nuisance, but calling in the Bomb Squad??
There is clearly two issues (if not more): (1) Boston's over reaction and (2) guerilla marketing. They really aren't related.
The whole argument that they could have been masking something dangerous is a silly one, because ANYTHING can be used to mask something dangerous... and a more effective explosive would be one that was hidden. Unless the intent was to scare. Which this wasn't.
If I forgot my backpack on the subway and someone freak out and it causes a panic, I am I now guilty? I've I hekp plan a shopping cart race with 175 carts anf the police thing we MIGHT be hiding bombs in the carts, am I guilty.
This sort of attitude would kill all non-sanctioned public art/performance. Kill it.
Guerilla marketing is a serparate issue, except that we are again trying to draw a line using instead of form. Clearly there has to be limits, but it still seems to me the only thing anyone is guilty of in this case is littering (and you know fans would have collected them if the police hadn't taken them down).
With the amount of media coverage that these devices have attracted... the 2 marketers should be given medals rather than jail-time!
Your average middle-aged home-maker might consider this terrorism, but they would also never watch Adult Swim; their actual target audience of teens & young adults is going to laugh this off.
You'd think after finding the first one and taking out the batteries, that you'd know it was fake and you could call off the swat team. Who ever made the decision to make this into a big deal is THE biggest idiot in the US.
no, dave, boston actually is probably the one city on the east coast that is more lame than washington d.c.
the most amusing part of this, of course, is that the mayor seems to think turner inc did this On Purpose to shut down the city. you know, because its a -totally- logical conclusion to think that light boards of cartoon characters = supreme tango threat. although i do think its weird that with all the exposure nobody recognized the character.
Doesn't the technique remind you of the work done by the Graffiti Research Lab? It seems like the marketing group at Cartoon Network did some cool-hunting and wanted to be on the cutting edge. Another case of a artistic form of expression being used to market some crap-o-la, this time with dangerous overtones.
google: "night writer" to see a video of the artists who pioneered this techique
Did no bomb-squad member see the lights and batteries and think, "Hey maybe we should flip it over and check for a brand name?" I used to consider Boston the only northeast city I'd live in, but not after the Big Dig mess and this fiasco. You're ridiculous Boston, ridiculous.
So we ridicule you. Sorry.
It's also important to remember they have moon rays and actively hate our way of life. If that is not terror, I don't know what is.
This is a misunderstanding, not a bomb hoax. Why should that guy be arrested for assembling and affixing them? Sounds like Boston police are just looking for a scapegoat to punish for making them look foolish.
I think they might be after attention: "look at us! the terrorists think we're important too!" Most likely the mayor, etc. realized early on they overreacted and couldn't gracefully get out of the situation. It's easier to distract from their jackassery by just making a stink.
I wonder if they would have reacted the same way if the promos had taken the form of giant balls of meat?
What's interesting to me is that Menino seems to be diverting public attention from the fact that it was regular people, not law enforcement, that seem to have found all these things. More than 'shut down the city,' it looks like Turner pointed out that Boston is still completely clueless when it comes to guarding themselves. I mean, these were a couple of guys pulling a marketing prank - imagine if there were more of them and they actually intended to do harm? Who should be getting publicly censured? Not Turner. Time to take a long look in the mirror...
I can see where the boston public is coming from if you've never seen ATHF. First of all, they placed those ads in very sensitive areas like bridges and tunnels and places where they looked like they didn't belong. It's one thing to place it on an billboard that is sanctioned but if you see something unfamiliar that looks like c4 plastic explosive from the side placed all willy nilly on a strut or grommet of a bridge than you'd get scared too. those things are small and don't look like moonites from hundreds of feet away. they look like bombs.
Why should that guy be arrested for assembling and affixing them? Sounds like Boston police are just looking for a scapegoat to punish for making them look foolish.
Hey, lookie there, you answered your own question.
At some point, I'd love to see them arrest someone at Fox or CNN for inciting a panic before they have all the facts.
I have seen a picture of the hipster artist, and he should definitely be arrested. I sure hope he gets jail time, and Turner fined for the cost. Boston overracted, but it's better than no reaction at all from NYC. Maybe Bloomie is a ATHF fan so it was a non-issue in NYC?
Usually you only need to watch a couple of minutes of a Red Sox game to figure this out, but this just confirms it... for a city with so many top school, Beantown is truly the dumb fuck capital of the world.
Litebrites in the streets! Horrors! Call the police! Why do I think that if these installations all said "Go Sox!" there would have been a slightly calmer reaction.
Potential terrorists take note: if you want to set up bombs in Boston, make sure they all say "Yanks suck" on them and everyone will leave them alone.
This is exactly why Boston remains a J.V. city.
but it's better than no reaction at all from NYC.
Or maybe people in NYC knew they were fugging Lite-Brites?
ok, so boston looks stupid for overreacting, who cares? does that mean the whole city 'sux' and everyone in it? and why has this become a boston vs nyc thing to some of you? nyc is a city of 10 million, boston 600,000, they're totally different, and both great in their own ways.
does that mean the whole city 'sux' and everyone in it?
Yes, because you people keep electing a mayor who can't speak.
It's one thing to place it on an billboard that is sanctioned
Just because someone has "sanctioned" a billboard, scaffolding, or public transportation space for advertising I didn't ask to see doesn't make it "acceptable." Besides, think of what one could hide in/behind a "sanctioned" billboard.
Guys - grow up and quit being so insecure. New York and Boston both rock - for different reasons. I understand when this kind of faux rivalry comes up in the whole Yankees vs. Red Sox debate, but even then anyone with intelligence should realize it's still a JOKE. Grow up and please give up on the whole "My dick is bigger than yours" game.
This was blown way out of proportion. What hick called this into the police as a bomb? Did they really think the Taliban were going to carry out their "Holy War" with a lite brite ad of a cartoon character? I doubt they would want to be that obvious. I looked and I couldn't find the moonite fron Aqua Teen Hunger Force anywhere in the Qur'an.
This whole thing is retarded! Just because a government agency freaked out and over reacted doesn't make the ads a threat.
Like the previous guy said, if I left my back pack somewhere and it caused a bomb scare, would I be guilty?
Would they be guilty had the cops not overreacted?
And if I hear another "in this post-9/11 world", I am going to throw my TV across the room. 9/11 doesn't justify people not using their heads!
can we stop for a second and laugh at all the "Artists" who are sticking up for this advertising agency?
i suppose it's cool because it's for Acqua Teen though, right?
and i'd take menino over bloomberg any day.
What is it with all these po-dunk places thinking that they are in the terrorist's crosshairs? People in Boston must watch far too much Fox News.
Someone should let Mayor Menino know that no one gives a shit about Boston, that they should relax a little, and give some of their counter terrorism funding back to the places that actually need it.
As for imprisoning the person responsible for this act...yeah, sure, that makes a lot of sense. About as much as pulling Turner corporations broadcasting license. I think Marion Barry isn't the only mayor who's smoked crack while in office.
Lame, lame, lame!
The people in charge need to lay off the paranoia pills and start staying up late.
OK, it's one thing -- an illegal thing, yes -- to do this sort of advertising, but to claim the removal of said ads in the name of national security and that goddamn awful phrase "a post-9/11 world" is frightening and outrageous.
So I hope this sparks a backlash of some sort, and all sorts of artists and "fringe" companies and creations start doing the same thing. Cos me? I wouldn't care (well, of course I would) if I fell off the sidewalk or dented my car if I saw one of these things while out and about. Awesome idea, great execution.
"I have seen a picture of the hipster artist, and he should definitely be arrested. I sure hope he gets jail time, and Turner fined for the cost. Boston overracted, but it's better than no reaction at all from NYC. Maybe Bloomie is a ATHF fan so it was a non-issue in NYC?"
^^^ Dude is an idiot.
Get this stuff out of my face. Some mega-paranoid mental midget spots a brite light and thinks it's a bomb and now someone should be punished? Yeah, morons who try to whip up hysteria over nothing should be punished.
Guys, I have news for you. Terrorists will not illuminate their explosives. That's the most retarded concept I've ever heard of in my life.
Next someone will make an etcha-sketch ad of scooby doo and some crazy fool will think it's laced with a neurotoxin.
It's awesome. This conclusively proves that the terrorists have defeated Boston. Wake up, you cowards.
-JX
"can we stop for a second and laugh at all the "Artists" who are sticking up for this advertising agency?"
well, they did what they were supposed to do. perhaps a little too well, maybe?
watching the boston pd try to scramble out of this mess has been very, very funny.

I love living in Boston, I love visiting nyc (my in-laws' home). I guess I'm not surprised that people decide on what they think about a city by it's mayor and construction projects? I'm just glad I don't factor that crap into my life. Granted, boston does need some more late night options, but it's a small city and is very easy to live in.
I just hope MF Doom gets some publicity out of this.
It's pretty much damned if you do, damned if you don't for the Boston police. At least they have had a good testing of their anti-terrorism squads. At least that's something.
As to the hoax itself... what were they thinking? Homeland Security is not going to be happy! Is there as Advertising Section at Gitmo?
Its a little know fact that if you focus all the light from 20 light brights thru a xenon gas chamber and then accelerate all the electron to 0.5 the speed of light, you could cause a worm-hole to open up that could explode and destroy most of downtown Boston...
Cliff.
Yay! Let's all live in constant fear! And let's say things like this could have been an act of freedom hating terrorists, and oh yeah, in the meantime, the FCC should pull a television station's license for scaring us!
Unbelievable.
Yes, it was a dumb advertising campaign, but c'mon, the reaction from the City of Boston is ridiculous. Don't they have more important things to worry about?
They were boxes with wires hanging out, placed around the city... people did not know what they were. Does anyone really think that they saw the Mooninite and said OMG A TERRORIST LITE BRITE! They didn't know. Jeez. Give the bomb squad a damn break.
New Yorker who also love Boston is NOT a true New Yorker. Any reason to keep a lefty hipster/artist in jail is a good reason.
You guys know that the cartoon promotes this kind of behavior in kids >>> so you better make sure your kids don't watch cartoons >>>INSTEAD make them watch CBS, ABC, news maybe CNN, so they understand that all cartoons promote terrorism!
MAYBE THE TIME HAS COME TO START THE WAR ON CARTOONS!!!!!!
>>>>> no kid of mine will be watching these terroristic cartoons!
Give 'em a break? No way - lazy,lazy group think took over, they deserve derision.
Maybe Boston should be more like Fryloc, and learn to embrace the Mooninites?
These did not look like threatening "devices" to me, but then again, I don't suffer from the "Everyone is out to get me" syndrome. Apparently these were up in "Major Cities", and didn't "scare" anyone else. I am so glad we no longer live there.
If stupidity is painful, does this mean Boston is in agony?
Lazy? They obviously did not know they were fricking Lite Brites until they went to look at them. They got calls and they went. How is that lazy? People report boxes and backpacks that are sitting around subways or Grand Central. What is the damn problem?
What's the charge vandalism meets homeland security breach? that's quite a mash-up.
"Democratic Rep. Ed Markey, a Boston-area congressman, added, "It would be hard to dream up a more appalling publicity stunt."
I haven't heard a call-to-arms challenge like this since Truman moved the country to war-time rationing in 42!
Of course this is the reaction from a city where you have people that drowned in molasses. This should be the concern not aqua teen hunger force. I think we should boycott Boston and claim it for the mental institution of America. It's a double winner.
I'm still reeling that people are so 1) stupid that they'd mistake a lite-brite for an explosive device, and 2) so cowed by fearmongering that they call the bomb squad over something like this. The mayor and police commissioner of Boston are, in my opinion, utter f-ing twits.
#41> Don't forget it was Boston's lax security at Logan that is partly to blame for 9/11.
ATHF- is so genius that my brain is broken from watching it too much.
Government is big and tough, you guys, and if they want to draw a line and show us who's boss, I say thank you sir may I have another. Our citizenry gets outta line every now and again and we need to be smacked back into submission like a red-headed stepchild or a woman or an animal.
However, Reps and Dems alike have been modeling how the "War of the Parts Against the Whole" can hold an entire political system for ransom. So tough. It seems that ordinary citizens have the same ability to frustrate one or more of our system's intricately organized parts such that the whole system halts. D'oh!

When litebrites are outlawed, only outlaws will have litebrites.
If this were Nike, McDonald's or Wal-Mart's advertising campaign, I cannot help but think that there would be a different tone to these responses.
This is why New York kick Boston's nerdy, gay, ass. Boston doesn't suck, it blows.
i can't believe some of these comments that are slagging on boston. some of you writers are completely unreasonable.
i would have hoped that new yorkers would understand the sensitivity and the way this went down in boston. it's a small city, sure. but there were black boxes strapped to bridges and near subway stations and close to the new england medical center. there was definitely an overreaction in boston, but it certainly was the media that trumped it up too much, not menino or any city official.
if these were found in NYC, during the day and not illuminated, strapped to a tunnel near grand central or outside the WTC path station, there would surely have been a reaction and the media would've blown it out of proportion as well.
laughing at boston and mentioning that their anti-terror funding should be cut is idiotic. i'm amazed that these ATHF things were in plenty of other cities and boston was the only one with people that seemed vigilant about something that was suspicious.
what's even worse is that CNN, which is under the same umbrella as the cartoon network, created a further spike in confusion by reporting the devices as possible explosives. if anything, they should've been the first to report it was merely a marketing campaign.
for shame, new yorkers, for making fun of boston and the people that live there for trying to protect their city. truly classless.
A lot of people keep saying 'how could you not tell it wasn't a bomb?' uhm - these things ran on batteries. batteries die after awhile. (none that i saw on the news were actually lit up) To police they probably looked like nothing other than mysterious black boxes with wires sticking out of them strapped to bridge supports and other infrastructure...
I've heard of athf, but never saw one of their characters before. Not everyone sits around watching tv all day and night. I'd say at least 80% of the population has no idea what the hell athf is and no desire to know either.
The only dumb people here are the marketing idiots and the corporate fools that spent money on this mess. I hope they're fined to the max and someone does some time for this - because it's about time society says no to more visual pollution and this "cool"-marketing-run-amuck bullshit.
The real terrorist threat lies in Foreigner belt buckles...oh sorry Dole if that reference was lost on you, since I obviously "sit around watching tv all day and night."
Can't they advertise like those Anti Smoking Truth commercials? Shock without getting the authority involved nor breaking the laws.
Just seeing how the artist Peter looks like is enough to lock him up.
The email contact for Mayor Menino is:

Hey, They WERE made from LEDs (Lit Explosive Device) and I'm sure the media went to great lengths to verify facts before spreading the panic.
The boston authorities don't take any responsibility for what they did to their own city
Here's some proof FEMA is a spynet. Because it sure as hell wasn't contacted or referenced when Boston found these devices of destruction.
The officials of Boston have some explaining to do, like WHY wasn't ANY other major city contacted when they found these???? If they would have pulled their heads out of their a$$es they might have found out what as truly going on.
Hey, Holmes...
Should you ever have to deal with REAL terrorists (and I pray that you don't) you may realize what a bunch of dumfuck numbnuts run your town.
And the Sox suck, too.
Good point about FEMA, flip. Although I don't think anyone is confused about it's spynet status.
If I wanted to distribute harmful devices around a city, I certainly would want to spend alot of money designing a device with bright LEDs. Nonsense. Boston, overreacted. The same devices were in 19 other cities and generated no interest. It would seem that it it is time for some lawmaker to put forth a NEW LAW to stop this innocuous activity.
LED - Light Emitting Diode.
hehehe
#64 - There's a reason that this chaos only went down in Boston. Everyone else HAD A CLUE. I mean really, highly visible light brite bombs? You'd think the people in Boston would have a bit more common sense. How bout we jail the mayor instead, for wasting tons of money in their "response" to this "threat"
What, you mean real life isn't like in the movies and TV, where bombs have lots of flashing lights, LED displays and beep every second as it counts down? What a shocker!
Hey Holmes
Don't front my set
The City of Boston has over reacted and tax dollars will be wasted over a simple marketing scheme. Stupid.
I hope the city and its employees understand that by prosecuting these guerilla marketing people that they will be the ones making complete fools out of them selves in the eyes of the nation and the world.
They can charge Peter and Sean with littering and that's it. This is pure bullshit. Boston fucked up nearly as much as "Big Dig" (at least they didnt kill the artists in a shootout). Boston wasted their money and it's their own damn fault. I hope they get countersued by the artists and Turner for any bad press. Fuck Boston. Burn it down.
Holmes
"I'ts people like you what causes unrest!"
This isn't a 'guerilla marketing debate', it's a 'yup, Boston is a dull city that no one outside of Massachusetts or a Shatner TV show ever talks or thinks about, not even terrorists' issue. Over-reacting poosays. If there's one thing Muslims love, it's lovingly crafting idols out of Lite-brite pegs. Plus everybody knows that Arabs invented the 'the bird' as a symbol of contempt. CALL THE BOMB SQUAD!
This story keeps getting funnier and funnier:
www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/01/boston.bombscare/
This won't hold up in court. "Hoax" implies that the guys had an intention to fool people into thinking these things were bombs. Take a good look at the photo at the top. There was no malicious intent, it's a freakin lite-brite cartoon character flicking the bird.
FUNNY AS HELL.
Wow... I hear all these possible, technical, sophisticate, terror plans enemies of the great red white and blue are planing to unleash upon unsuspecting americans to cause panic, distress and terror.
Oh wait all it takes is a blinking sign the scare some people into the basement screaming athrax! dirty bomb! terrorists!
I think that the people of NYC show that they are hella smarter and more sophiticated than those in Boston. The Boston Police, Mayors office and the Governor of Massachussetts have embarrassed the people that they serve. on the AS boards, one question came up about who would get fired. If anyone it should be the cop who called the bomb squad and the Boston police chief for utter ineptitude. Things like this mean the terrorist have won. Boston, Thanks a lot for showing us to be the retards we all have thought you were.
omg this just got better.
So some idiot planted a fake pipe bomb in Tufts Medical Center (another was found on a bridge) while the ATHF insanity was unfolding.
(From the Boston Herald) "The pipe bomb-like devices were reported at both locations just after 1 p.m. and are unrelated to the advertising scheme for Cartoon Network’s “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” police officials said.
In the hospital incident, investigators believe a former hospital employee planted the phony bomb in an office at 185 Harrison Ave. He has been identified but has not been charged, the sources said."
So they've already arrested the people who put silly ads up, but they haven't arrested the guy who planted a fake bomb. Brilliant Boston, brilliant.
It's sad that we are all afraid of light brite images. Of course, at the same time, I guess we've let our media create the panic of terrorists plotting to overthrow our society and bomb us all to hell. OH NO, LITE BRITES!!!! Must be terrorists. They must be plotting to bomb Boston (clearly a strategic place to cause the United States complete economic and political panic).
In essence, we have allowed ourselves to be afraid of everything. We are afraid of boxes of sprinkler parts, suitcases, and even lit up signs. The mayor says he can't believe that someone would do this in a post 9/11 world. Why? Were they signs on the side of planes flying around city crashing into shit? Stupid people. Hi five Adult Swim, you rule.
sadly under the Patriot Act these two ruthless criminals could be thrown in jail forever. they're hippies, punish them with a bath. they certainly are not terr-ists.
You people outside of Boston don't understand that Mooninites bear a strikingly eerie similarity to Muhammad. And they were taking it down because they didn't want their city characterizing him.

Useless laws weaken necessary laws.
- Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1775)
Turner really shouldnt have apologized for this. They should have released a statement--
"Boston, If your Police force and govt are stupid enough to react to small LED signs like you did, we cant help you. Please dont have any children, the world has enough stupid people already"
Boston, and especially that idiot mayor, needs to work on being ashamed. The nation is laughing at them, and yet they persist in this stupidity.
Looks like The Terrorists have accomplished their mission after all: we're all afraid of our own damn shadows. The Boston authorities overreacted; now they're embarrassed and they're going to take it out on the artists for making them, the authorities, look like fools. Which they are.
I lived in Boston for one, friggin forgetful year. They are simply jealous, they want to be hit by terror to justify their inflated importance as a "worldly" city. Pathetic!
They are only a sports town...
Oh, STFU, Dave. I went to Harvard and I was born in Boston and I've lived in NYC and I'll say it for you: Boston sux.
It sux0rz. It's full ov l4m3Rz. It's way too provincial for its size. It's full of self-important ninnies. Phhhhhtt.
And right about now, it rates as the stupidest of the cities where these ads were placed. Apparently they don't teach common sense at those fancy schools, eh?
Oh
And thanks Boston for allowing Mohammed Atta and Company go through your gates at Logan... Perhaps you should stay on the LightBrite Brigade... If only Virginia Buckingham were back, Lite Brites would be confiscated from every suburban home...
OMG! I love Agua Teen Hunger Force. All this attention makes me want to watch it even more. How genius an idea! Those signs are dope. Even doper are the idiots in Boston who spent over a million "resolving" this issue... can someone say... LOSERS!!!
Saint Louis isn't scared of the Mooninites! Send them our way!
Our PD isn't scared of a lite-brite set giving us the finger. If one was found at the base of the Arch, I think we'd issue a summons for pollution or littering, but not a full-on freakout. Sure, we're not safe wherever we go and doing whatever we do, but that's life, and we all need to accept this.
Oh, and NYC: BoSox suck. Patriots suck. And the Bruins suck, for good measure.
100!
Were the little LED's wearing turbons? If people in Boston were paralyzed with fear at the sight of Ignignokt, thats their problem. Someone should warn them about turning on Cartoon Network late at night. There maybe be a mass heart attack spree, which of course would be the fault of the Terrorist LED's.
Word to anyone that mistakes a hilarious advertising idea for a terrorist plot: Die.
I like St Louis...
John Kerry sucks too!
I think its a perfect example of America being dooped into giving up civil liberties for so called security. Certain leaders of our country that will remain nameless (G.W.B.) have convinced that everything is terrorism in a "post 911" society, and like a bunch of sheep this country is falling for it. Maybe we should stop looking for little moon men and concentrate on the real problems this country is facing. My question to the Pres. is, when are we going to stop calling everyone a terrorist, and realize that the truth terrorist are running our country. God Bless America, and Long Live the Moonanites.
This is just another example of America being dooped into giving up civil liberty for freedom. Maybe we should stop looking for moon men, and start concentrating on the real problems with our country. The real terrorists are running America, not flipping the bird in boston. God Bless America and Long Live The Moonanites.

I've lived in Boston. I spent 3 of 4 years living on campus.
There really is no shortage of dolts living in Boston.
I want to see someone put up a lite brite with a bomb picture. Preferably a student whose window looks out over Huntington Avenue, or something similar.
And yes, if you want to blow up the city, Go Sox! or Yankees Suck! will work just fine.
The only people who ever get paranoid over terrorists these days are people who watch TV shows like 24. You fat hicks need to turn the TV off and get some fresh air.
Would Bostonians have perceived these "signs" (not devices) as much of a threat if the batteries not been visible? Does this reflect upon our societies persistent fear of technology?

Wow Boston aiding terrorists...who would have thought our own authorities would do such a thing. Terrorists's goals are not to kill us, but to undermine our ideals, values and beliefs. When toys have whole cities running around with bomb squads in a panic over nothing...the terrorists have won. Boston probably thinks the whole country is outraged, but we are snickering at them. Yes, terrorists will use glowing lite brites prominently displayed for weeks to blow up a structure. Idiots.
I want to know, where is Boston Dave?
Boston lover!!!
"Thanks a lot for showing us to be the
retards we all have thought you were."-
thank YOU, bombBOB.
us. we. you, whatever.
i love to hear a bunch of idiots argue
about which city is greater in order
to inflate their weepy little ego's.
i'm sure what's next is some testosterone-
fest and everyone accuses each other of
being poosays for not fighting in the war.
game on!
hypothetical question: if you were a terrorist and you wanted to blow something up do you:
a.) hide the explosive device in a dark corner or
b.) light it up behind an LED display?
just asking...
Anyone got any Skankee/Sox ticks for sale?
There's no excuse for Boston's overreaction once they examined one of these things, but #65's right - they were not lit up.
There's a significant difference between seeing a "litebrite" or a "flashing cartoon character" and thinking it's suspicious, and seeing what looks like a random assortment of metal and batteries and wires, and thinking that's suspicious. But I guess if you acknowledge the latter, it's not as easy to get all condescending. I'm sure everyone here would have recognized an unlit Mooninite at a distance of 50 paces.
Hey folks heres the deal.
Peter Berdovsky, and Sean Stevens are the two guys behind the A.T.H.F. marketing stunt in Boston. Sadly it appears that the Boston's mayor is demanding full prosecution. THe charges for a Bomb hoax ( wich is not what happend) are 2-5 years per incedent in this case 10 instances. If found guilty the two gentlemen face (if sentenced consecutivly) as much as 20-50 years in prison.
This is insane almost as stupid as thinking that the LIGHT UP SIGN OF A MOONINITE giving the finger is a bomb.
Well here is what I ask of ya'll spread the word. Massive street action
on Saturday Feb 3rd 2007 starting at 3pm EST go out with homemade picture's of the mooninites to show your support for these guy's. HEll any sign of support.
Thank you

I, like most sensible adults, don't see any reason why these things could have been mistaken for bombs. I've tried to reason along with Bostonians, but it just makes no logical sense.
The fact that they were in multiple cities across the country -- and for quite some time at that -- with nowhere near as violent a reaction as Boston did only points to something being awry with the mentality of Boston as a whole.
In addition, the very mayor of the city making a reference to 9/11 is not only idiotic, but overly self-important and offensive, especially when the very cities that were attacked in 9/11 nary raised an eyebrow.
It seems the only threat to the Boston public was the ineptitude of its police (as someone pointed out, it would have taken a single phone call to other cities or a close examination of just one device to figure it out) and the complete lack of realistic approaches to potential threats among those in command.
Someone mentioned how guerilla marketing is a disservice to the taxpayer...while deploying the entire police force and paralyzing an entire city without a simple examination of a single device isn't? Shouldn't you be more frustrated by the utter idiocy and lack of logical approach to a foreign object?
I see no reason why the marketer or the individuals involved ought to be in jail or penalized. Shall I sue a politician for getting a paper-cut from a campaign pamphlet? Should Oprah have been thrown in jail and GM sued for giving away potential killing machines?
Boston's response is akin to that of a needy teenager's cry for attention. Please: tend to the toxins in the Charles and Boston Harbor; keep the Kennedys' drinking in check; get your drivers to learn to drive (...you know it's a problem when the city's own news media does a news magazine n its own city's drivers...); get your corruption in check.
Anything, anything, but letting your idiotic antics wasting the rest of the nation's time...it kills me to think that even a small portion of the budget for Homeland Security goes to Boston instead of cities that really need it.
Hey Lizzie (115). Have you seen the pics of the unlit boards? I'm sorry but they don't look all that different from the lit ones! Come on!
Anyone want to guess how long before someone writes "The Moon Rules #1" on the mayors car, with a key. Or maybe just tags city hall?
Tee hee hee, giggle, giggle, sniff.
HA HA HA HA HA...
What's insane is thinking that the LIGHT UP SIGN OF A MOONINITE giving the finger is a GOOD IDEA.
What was the intended response to this ill-distributed message? And more importantly, the dread-lock dick and his nerd side-kick realize appeared nationally as complete jackasses at the expense of every colleague in the advertising community.
Thanks for that. I think I'll try Used Car Sales. At least it'll be a more respectable profession.
There are words of wisdom that it seems politicians and fearmongerers have forgotten:
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1759
In any case, those guys are hella advertisers. EVERYONE knows who the Moonanites are now. Not to mention that the press conference shows they have a sense of humor, which far too many people lack in this day and age.
Our Moon advertising is just too advanced for your puny Earth minds.
Unbelievable. seems there is a ton of insecurity coming from the boneheads on this thread that are bashing a whole city and its people just because one cop called the bomb squad. do you think that everyone in boston saw the lite brites at once, gasped, then all called the bomb squad?
i would say you're making your city look bad but that’s not how it works, generalizations and group-judgments are ridiculous. i know nyc thankfully isn't loaded with morons like you. and for those who say they lived in boston for however long, that doesn't make your dumb judgments and comments anymore credible.
i don't think every cop in nyc is going to unload 50 bullets into every car in a parking lot. but it'd be nice if they could pistol-whip the ignorance out of your tiny brains. a good ol' fashioned curbside lobotomy.

There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary - Brendan Behan
i'm not sure, but i think that mooninite is ur, not ignignokt. ur is the more irascible of the two, and his personality, imho, would lead to the flipping of the bird, let alone shutting down an entire city for an ad prank.
maybe you don't remember 911,but we do..we were nieve before and let them through,so boston doesn't play games anymore with this.when you take it upon yourself to mount electronic devices on the I-BEAMS of a major central freeway.they have to take it go into protcol,you just have too!!!the officials are probably paying more attention then we are,and with guy pooring mercury on los angelos subway platforms and being sneaky about it or the build up the the troops in iraq,and bombing samolia terrorist.maybe the rest of the counrty forgot, that there are exxxtreamist that are out to kill us and there not going to stop.maybe they did over react but,but hopefully were safe in boston.can't believe that a network or advertising firm would be behind all this,,,maybe it's politcal???? but too mount it too a i-beam too freeway??? i just don't get the joke???
This is probably the most I've ever gotten out of my tax money being spent, watching local authorities blow up mooninites. And then taking out their "false rage" on everybody but themselves to cover up a big "oops I fucked up" :)
Hey, Scott... remember the eleventh?
WE LIVED IT, FUCKHEAD!
While you were asleep at the switch we were getting blown up. And now you're running around after litebrites.
Great job proving us wrong when we said you were a crowd of dumbfucks. Oh, and naive has an "a", MITboy.
There is an entire issue that is being overlookedon this page. Mainly that what city officials are choosing to do is create a national fuss rather than take responcibilities for their mistake. This is BAD! This is NAZI tatics used in Germany for political powers to take control. More importantly, the reporting of the situation was done not in an American Journalistic standard (watch something like GOOD NIGHT and GOOD LUCK) but in a format similiar to the old Nazi films meant to motivate the public to their cause. Look at how they misrepresent words like 'stunt" and "hoax". Look up the actual definitions of these words and find that -- a difficult or unusual or dangerous feat; usually done to gain attention
This is a definition from Princeton
Okay, the ad campaign is not dangerous, difficult, nor unusual as guerilla advertising has become extremely normal in the past five years.
However, the way the Boston Officials reacted does fit this definition. Afterall, closing Transpo, creating hysteria without the full facts. This is Dangerous, difficult, and unusual.
Now Hoax -- Something that has been established or accepted by fraudulent means.
That one's from American Heritage Dictionary
The only acceptance by fradulent means occurred when Boston officials denied that they may have over reacted and began calling it a stunt. They shifted the blame creating a Hoax situation. And the media accepted it until the truth had to surface. The officials were reacting with a hysterical level that was irresponcible, which should not be tolerated for no other reason than they are now unwilling to admit responcibility.
More importantly, by using media coverage and emotionally impacting ideas like 9/11 they skew the way the majority of Americans will be viewing the situation. These were the tatics of the Nazis.
We should be pisted at Boston officials for daring to insult us with comments like "they should know better in a post 9/11 word." Well officials, you might want to look at the fact that most modern bombs do not include lights or devices to draw attention to them.
Most importantly, we should be ANGRY with the press for it's willingness to provide false info, to brand a situation with the full facts, and for using the same terms as the governing officials. They are suppose to be our defense against corruption and irresponcibility in the government and yet, for the past two days, they have had none of that intergrity. Shame on them. Shame.
Don't let the fears being sold to you after 9/11 shift good judgment. The past two days have shown us a lot about our country, and it's time we took a bit of action. Afterall, nonthreatening cartoon ads can now bring a city in America to its knees outta fear. Which means we now have more to fear from each other than we do from other countries. That is scary!
It doesn't surprise me that the authorities responded as if there was a real threat since after all three of the four flights involving 9-11 flew out of Boston. However to discover that it was a false alarm, and then snivel and whine about what "could-have-happened", and then take the whole incident out of context by labeling it a "hoax" and blaming the ads for intending such a scare only brings the officials, and especially Mayor Menino the ridicule that they deserve. If any of Al-Queda was watching, they are probably celebrating and laughing in satisfaction that after over 5 years later, their true terrorist acts still affect our fears and judgements. If there should be anything to fear in Boston, it should be that damn tunnel that loses pieces because the workers were drinking on their lunch break (I watched them crack the Budweisers from across the street so I know). Wise up Menino!
Why are we kidding ourselves that we still live in a free democracy when events like this keep happening?
When people become labeled as terrorists for somehow being responsible for others paranoid delusions, the train has run totally off the rails.
You are responsible for your actions, not other people's reactions.
What this event should demonstrate, more than anything else, is the frightening rate at which we are developing into a totalitarian police state--where you can be arrested for whatever random reason the police concoct as long as it fits under the catch-all of "terrorism."
It is clear that the real source of the mayor's anger (and the ditto-heads that agree with him) is actually the fact that he has been called out for the idiot that he is and the bad decisions he has made.
Yeah, Boston sucks and I'm happy for that. You can all move to NYC and leave us the hell alone with now more parking spots. -Nothing to see here; we all go to bed before ATHF comes on anyways.
Ha Ha... it was a comic book shop that called it in! How is that for lame? Reason enough right there to stay away.
Signed,
-a middle-aged Metro Boston housewife
if anyone has not seen the press conference that the two 'criminal masterminds' held after their court appearance, go on youtube and download it now! It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen! You won't get much information but you'll come away from it with a lot of questions about 70s hairstyles!!!
This is so fucking retarded, they said on the Boston news that the lights had been up for a week! A WEEK! They didnt do a damn thing about them until somebody probably complained about them flipping the bird. This goes to show that our society is retarded and that we shit ourselves over a light brite board with a cartoon character on it.
I heard these things were up for a good week before authorities were informed. lol, talk about slow response..if it were a real bomb..Boston woulda been screwed. lol @ Boston authorities
When I first heard this story I had just made
two blinking signs and was ordering more lights.
No they weren't Mooninites giving the finger.
But what country tolerates and is not terrified
by lite signs? This is as if the walking-man
signs at the corner turned red and the whole
city panics ala the lyrics of "99 redballoons"!
I'm astounded at all the idiocratic
rednecks saying they'd shoot if they saw someone
putting up a sign!
I made a LiteBrite sign with my address on it
and put it on my house.
When they come and get me,
what country should I deport to,
where we are FREE to make cool stuff?
Actually I think the Terrorists and Idiocrats
are the media, Terrorvision is FOX, all they
report is the sky is falling. For 4 years my
geiger counter has been detecting nuclear
radiation all around the NYC ESB,
I've reported it, it's still there. Boston
goes ape over atari space invaders from the moon,
like a dumb version of war of the worlds. NYC
gets gassed with gas and the mayor says he
doesn't know anything but is goofed on gas and
says he doesn't know, but its safe, just like
the asbestos air was (NOT) on 9/11, and then
he announces he has a phone that blows up planes!
(Bloomberg, not Juliani who helped Silverstone
blow up the WTC via controlled demolition,
after Bowing GPS/UAV AUTOPILOTS hijacked planes.)
Ok, radiation from a tall building is no big
deal but lite-brite signs are? I say again,
this all started with yellow trucks full of
$#!+, then it hit the fan, and now everything
just stinks like money used as toilet paper.
Terrorism is profitable apparently.
The bomb squad wasn't afraid of lite brite but
they still got paid a lot of money to blow it up!
Also MIT plays techno-jokes on Boston all the
time and they are used to it. Boston probably
didn't know that the flat signs were what those
wicked as hell(*) news reporters were calling
packages, boxes, and bombs all day long!
(*)Turner's quoted ambition is to "go to hell",
look it up!
Fuck all the paranoid people who take this offense seriously.
The press conference regarding this crime on FOX News was classic to say the least. Oh how I love conservative media. Seems like they all had quite the copius ammount of sand lodged deep in their vaginas. Three cheers to these guys for fucking the system in the ass with that most entertaining press conference.
Here's a clue, Boston:
BOMBS DON'T HAVE BIG BRIGHT LIGHTS ON THEM. THEY'RE MEANT TO NOT BE NOTICED UNTIL THEY GO OFF.
Fuck Mumbles Menino. Fuck him right in his fat-tongued mouth.
Wow Boston authorities grade a detective work. After you found out those weren't bombs, shouldn't you try catching some real criminals? Maybe someone whos committed double homicide in the past few months?
So I was at the bar after work last week kinda watching the t.v. (no sound, as is the case in most hole-in-the-wall PA bars...and I don't get TV at home, so this was new to me.) I saw mooninites on the TV and I couldn't BELIEVE it was a news story! Then it was in the paper and I got the whole picture! Rediculous! Fucking rediculous!
I can't help but wonder what would happen if someone were to put a Smurf up on an overpass in town. If some ignorant redneck here didn't know what the hell a 'Smurf' was, he'd be calling city hall with reports of little blue terrorists in turbons tagging the landscape.
Panicy, panicy people.
The terrorists have won. If it was fear that they wanted to instill.. it is fear they have gotten. America in this state will last no longer than Rome.
'Mass Hysteria' is usually caused by a belief given to the public by the media. If anyone is familiar with what is happening today with net neutrality what the media has created here could be the beginning of something worse than you could imagine.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force was created for those with an open mind and a sense of humor. Unfortunately those are not the sort of people that are running your government. Luckily, many of such people exist in your country. It is up to you to continue expressing your views and challenging the beliefs given to you by the media.
I found it interesting that the guerilla marketing company Interference Inc. has on it's list of clients GE and CNN. Hmmm.
One media group actually referred to the litebright, yes it actually was a litebright, as a computer superboard. What? Where do these people get their information?
As for how the marketing campaign went unnoticed in 12 other cities besides chicago? One person. One uninformed person called it in as a bomb and the police and media went nuts over it. Now they must just feel so dumb about their over reaction that have to cover it up by charging the 'suspects' with creating a hoax. Well I believe it was the police and the media that created the hoax. All through a lack of investigation into one phone call.
I could go on.
The system is in motion. Menino, the Boston Police, and the media did their thing, and it needs to be followed through.
The government is sending this case out to the courts; by all logic, they were not purposely trying to create a hoax bomb threat, so that gets settled in court. Everything's cleared up on that end.
The Boston Police and mayor did what they could given the limited information they had - they investigated what they believed to be a threat, and cleared it. They had all rights to take down the signs and investigate them as possible explosives.
The media blew the whole thing out of proportion, and caused a sense of fear within the city and in other places in the US. Was it their right to report what was going on? Yes.
So, what happened incorrectly, and what can be done to fix this? Long story short, I believe that the best action would have been for Boston's government to keep the issue under wraps until it was fully investigated. It isn't an obligation of the media to hide information - On the contrary, we put our faith in that they give us the full, unedited truth about what's going on - but someone had to do it, and the government at that point had the ability and the foresight to do so. This situation could have all of the levity of pulling a cat out of a tree (and it did this time), but panic overran the people involved, and they couldn't be quiet about it, at least until preliminary investigation was complete. Whether or not this was a risk to people, it was unwise to spread information about this situation without having the knowledge to properly assess what was happening.
The best thing for us as individuals and as a community to do is stop the complaining and collaborate to find ways to solve situations like this before they become issues again.

New York City, the only city that when it rains it makes it's own gravy.
I have never seen a more embarassing display of buffoonery than I have seen on this board. You donkeys have literally no freakin idea what you are talking about. I suggest that you just sit back and fill your bongs. That's about as useful as you guys are to the dialog anyway.
Electronic devices affixed to infrastrusture that no one has ever seen before and you think that people should just shrug their shoulders and be on their merry way?????
What a truly braindead group of people you are!
I want one of htese signs.. alas, i don't wanna pay 500 bucks on ebay for it cuz i don't have 500 bucks... T_T this is a tragedy. WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT THESE UP IN DETROIT HUH??? Soon as I saw a camera shot of what they showed in boston.. i immediately was like.. "OMG I WANT ONE OF THOSE!"
and to dave, you know what? Don't try to flame someone with your brilliantly articulated grammar on the internet? It's the internet, and you are an ultra nub cuz you don't even know what those things mean. the word "ain't" didn't used to be in the dictionary either. It was added as it became accepted as a modern day word. Sux is just a creative spelling for sucks... so, you should post another flame to all of us so you can prove her point by showing how lame and uncool and n00b you are? xDDDD
I wonder if they've considered the possibility that people who can be scared by lite brites--SHOULD get scared by lite brites?
I wont succumb to stupidness out of fear... what a terrible world we live in where we are worried about light brights. If someone plants a bomb people they wont want anyone to see them until they go off... just go with that! Everything else is just conspiracy theory. Fuck Tom Brady
their I said it...
