the devices were part of a promotion for the TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," a surreal series about a talking milkshake, a box of fries and a meatball.

Well our initial plan was to hang those ads near nuclear reactors so this was really a step in the right direction. Plus this actually
cost us quite a bit of money. So in the end, I think we all learned a lesson.
Moving on.
That description of the show makes it sound more bizarre than it actually is. The box of fries and the wad of meat (not a meatball) also talk. See? It all makes sense now.

Well, now you can honestly say that you have been a threat to Homeland Security, Fios. . .for the third time. . .this year.

Whatever, I still maintain that "Send your favorite politician a replica hand-grenade made from chocolate" was poorly executed. It was the implementation, not the idea. However, in hindsight I can see where the Big Shots party (wherein the participants consume large shots and then drive tanks through crowded cities) could have used some tweaking.

To be fair to your idea, that one was my fault. I couldn't really afford the postage, so I thought that I would hand deliver it. The president looked so busy that I had to run up to him in order to give it to him, and then the . . . . unpleasantness . . . . ensued.

Well, since I am the fifth greatest consumer of Right Wing propaganda, I felt is was just the thing to do. Besides... the Newsmax article was the first one that was listed by Google at the time, and, being the seventh laziest poster on TheHogs.net, welllllllllll.........
Duh!

Fios the police sketch I saw in Boston looks nothing like you.... since when have you had a bird????

I don't think it's a bird... it's more of a customized straw extension for some sort of bizarre sexual ritual...
well... that's the word on the street...

Did anyone else see the press conference that the 'suspected terrorists' gave? They refused to answer any media questions unless they were about hair.

This is all because the Boston police want to cover their asses and not admit a mistake.

The thing of it is, only the moronic reaction in Boston gave this thing life, several other major U.S. cities reacted to those things exactly as they should have, sans panic.

There are bumber stickers now on sale:
A comedy group called 'Zebro' did a youtube video on it, which I'll have to post in Smack due to language.
This couldn't have happened to a betterr cartoon. I can't believe that Aqua Teen Hunger Force shut down Boston for a day.

I had one of those Lite-Brite things when I was younger, and it never occured to me that I could use it to make a middle finger, much less take over the world.
I blame my schooling for my utter lack of imagination.
