athf

in this "post 9-11 world" (i hate that phrase with a passion!!), it seems to me that peopel over react a touch too quickly.

take for instance the highly publicized ad campaign gone wrong for the aqua teen hunger force(athf from now on..)movie. theses people placed electronic signs with two popular characters from the show around boston. the mooninites are obviously giving mr birdie.



so the question i pose to the world: how paranoid are these people?

i mean the people that freaked out about electronic mooninites. yes, i accept the fact that some people don't watch athf or anythign on adult swim for that matter. that i get. but are you telling me, that in ALL the people that saw these signs up, not a SINGLE ONE OF THEM who the characters are?

if that's the case, i vote that boston is exposed to athf just enough to realize that "hey, i see a sign. it has a mooninite on it. it's flipping me off. i don't think this is dangerous."

but then, why didn't people think "hey, i see an electronic sign. it has a funny little person on it that's flipping me off. i've never heard of a terrorist with a humor, so why would they have one now? i don't think this is too dangerous."

but maybe asking people to think before they assume that anything unfamilar is a bomb might be asking a wee bit too much...
