Got a quad laser, it’s will amaze ya…

Alien Invasion! Guerrilla advertisement for cartoon movie mistaken for bomb threat.

The two guys who planted the ads are charged with placing a hoax device and disorderly conduct

“’It's clear the intent was to get attention by causing fear and unrest that there was a bomb in that location,’ Assistant Attorney General John Grossman said at their arraignment.”

Uh, no champ, it clearly wasn’t. The damn things looked like Lite Brite on blackboard with some batteries.

Look, planting mechanical devices around the city may not have been the best idea, but it’s pretty clear no harm was meant. Why should these two get sent to the pokey?

I agree with Test Pattern, the best part of all this is reporters trying to explain both the Mooninites and the show itself, which isn’t easy even if you watch it.

Describing the Mooninites:
“Trouble-making characters that look like 1980s-era computer graphics.” (Associated Press/MSNBC.com)
“Outer-space delinquents who make frequent appearances on the cartoon." (CNN.com)
"Boxy characters ... named Err and Ignignokt ... Err is described on the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" website as "rebellious and angry." (Boston.com)
"Two trouble-making, 1980s-graphic-like characters called ''mooninites,'' named Ignignokt and Err” (New York Times)

Describing the show:
“The show follows the misadventures of a carton of French fries, a milkshake and a wad of hamburger meat who live together in a run-down suburban house.” (Associated Press/MSNBC.com)
“The show is an animated comedy about three detectives in the shape of human-sized food products that live together in a rental house in New Jersey.” (Fox News)
“A surreal series about a talking milkshake, a box of fries and a meatball.” Also: “a cartoon with a cultish following” (New York Times)
