Leave it to my old home towne, Boston Massachusetts, to seize the headline with ignomy once again. The same city that brings you Mitt Romney, along with Barney Frank, Billy and Whitey Bulger, the Big Dig, the same city that ran future Hall of Famer Roger Clemons out of town on a rail, the same city that tore down the Garden, prompting the Celts and Bruins to lose every subsequent game since, the same city that banned 'Lola' by the Kinks, has brought you the latest debaucle in Homeland Security gone awry.
Apparently, according to the reports I read, there is this show on Cartoon Network, a subsidiary of Turner Broadcasting, called 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force'. Yeah, I know, me neither. Anyway, as part of some ingenious advertising campaign, C.N. apparently placed a number of 'Light Brights', or something that looked like them, around strategicly high traffic spots in the city, like Longfellow Bridge and Boston common. Alert police and Homeland Security agents wisely identified these as Weapons of Mass Destruction and the ensuing panic verily closed the city down for the rest of the day. You've probably read the story by now.
Two network employees are currently under arrest for the 'prank' that Mayor Menino finds 'not funny'. Hey, but think of it this way: if the Cartoon Network is trying to skew older, it was a brilliant piece of promotion. An old Fuck like me is now at least is aware of a show called 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force', and if I had cable, I'd certainly now tune it in.
In a related story, in Los Angeles, alert CIA agents spotted that hot chick from those Monster.com Super Bowl commercials walking on Hollywood Boulevard, and alertly wrestled her breasts to the ground. Talk about your wepons of Mass Destruction!
