ok, so this aqua teen hunger force marketing campaign wasn't your typical "billboard with an attractive woman in a bikini imploring you to purchase this product"-type thing, but COME ON. since when is something resembling a rectangle flipping you the bird on a lite-brite ANYTHING LIKE A BOMB? i'm not an explosionologistician, but i'm pretty sure lite-brites are meant for mirth and joy, not death and terror. granted, whoever decided to being an entire city to a screeching halt over a battery-operated lite-brite thing probably doesn't "get jokes," but still. this whole thing reminds me of when i lived in chicago and some stupid, hysterical moron called 911 because they saw some guacamole on the sidewalk and naturally assumed it was anthrax (actually, the best part of that story was mayor daley stating in a press conference that "guacamole isn't dangerous, it's good for you - people have to start calming down").or hey! how about the time some technologically retarded paranoid idiot on a plane thought someone's iPod was a bomb? it's nice that people with a flair for the (overly) dramatic and absolutely no common sense are so quick to start a blind panic. what a better place the world is, thanks to the schizoid terrors fabricated by people with nothing better to do! you'll have to excuse me now, i need to call the FBI about the biological weapon i saw lurking ominously in my 'hood... meanwhile...
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! it's really going to happen!!!!!!!!
I'm so sick of people being terrified over stupid shit. come on! Guacamole??? You gotta admit, even though their marketing idea was pretty dumb, it worked.
