Ok, it's only Boston that's gone mad. In case you haven't heard the story, I'll sum it up for you. Turner Broadcasting wants to make some hype for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force show and upcoming movie, so they come up with a plan to put mooninites around major cities. They are in place in 10 major cities around the US for 2-3 weeks. Someone in Boston saw one and freaked. Boston officals freak. Bomb squad called in. City shut down. Guys who put them up get arrested, and law suits are pending.
I'm not going to delve too far into this issue right now, I just wanted to get it out there. This is absolutely rediculous. The Boston officials are calling these guys terrorists that made a bomb hoax. No, they put up the equivalent of Lite-Brite signs with a cartoon character on them. One of my favortie quotes from an official so far:
"Assistant Attorney General John Grossman called the light boards "bomblike" devices and said that if they had been explosive they could have damaged transportation infrastructure in the city."
Wow, you mean that if they had been explosive, they could've blown things up? This man is pure genious. Here's a link to the article that the quote came from, that also gives an overview of the entire thing:

Well, enough on this for now. I'll get more into it later, I'm sure. Oh, and be sure to visit 13107.org. It's not much at the moment, but I'll try to set up a forum on there within the next week, basically to get people to be able to voice their opinion on this, and other related topics.
Discuss.
