Er...

Friends:


This is, supposedly, a bomb:




At least today, in Boston, a series of these things caused panic. What it is, really, was a variation of a Lite Brite picturing a character from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I believe that's Err...giving the finger as hard as he can. Plus, I like the way serious journalists try to talk about a cartoon show starring a meatball, a giant talking milkshake and a floating large order of fries. Read the AP story...HERE.



This presents so many questions to me. Like, do terrorists put characters giving the finger on their bombs? Are they going to start now? What happens if this movie tanks at the box office? I mean, if the ads cause a citywide panic because of its bomb-like properties...what will the movie do? What will the headline in Variety be? Is this good press? What other obscure cartoon characters will be used in bombs? Will there be a surge of, say, Snagglepuss bombs?



Plus, this is the end of January? Are things going to be more panicky? What strange news item will top this? Who could have seen this coming....God, I love this country.



Viva el mustache!!! Y Viva El Err y Ignignokt (y otro Mooninite below)!
