I guess when their little farce went unnoticed they started calling in to the police.

I'd be very surprised if any of the calls had anything to do with the marketing campaign.

They do all the time. There is a sign on every telephone in Kansas City.

What do those signs in Kansas City say?

My telephones don't say much: GE, Panasonic, Sony and things like that.

Aqua Team Hunger Force Theme Song Lyrics:

My name is Shake-Zula,

the mic rula,

the old schoola,

you wanna trip,

I'll break it to ya.

Frylock and I'm on top rock you like a cop,

Meatwad you're up next with your knock-knock.

Meatwad make the money see, Meatwad get the honeys G.

Drivin in my car, livin like a star,

ice on my fingers and my toes and I'm a Taurus.

Haha check it... uh check check it yeah...Cause we are the Aqua Teens,

make the homeys say ho and the girlies wanna scream.

Cause we are the Aqua Teens,

make the homeys say ho and the girlies wanna scream.

Can't be any worse than the Suspicious Looking Device (which has an LED randomly counting down and a motion sensor that causes it to run away and emit a siren when you try to touch it).

"It's a hoax -- and it's not funny," Gov. Deval Patrick said.

A hoax includes an intent to decieve. The blinking signs were not meant to look like anything other than blinking signs, so no hoax.

Making something that LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING ELSE is a hoax.

>>NOT related to terrorism

Yes, they were. They disrupted a city, panicked
residents; delayed ambulances, resulted in cancelled
dialysis appointments, etc. The two men arrested
are evidently from a sleeper cell of the terrorist
organization al-Qartoon.

How lame is Boston that we’re frightened of flashing lights ? I’m reminded of another ad campaign – that of the Geico Caveman. I’m picturing the Neanderthal pointing at the Adult Swim Lite-Brite while cowering in fear and grunting like a monkey. Yep, that’s Boston for you !

Of course it doesn’t help that the city’s spokesman, Mayor Menino, is a dead ringer for Alley Oop.
