Cartoon Marketing Scheme Provokes Counter Terror Response

February 1st, 2007

HA! It would be easier to take this system down with smoke and mirrors than with an armed insurgency. Get the monster to chew its own limbs off, then calmly walk up to it and drive a spike through its skull. Yep, Military Deception is an interesting topic.

If this is what happens when a company goes to promote some stupid cartoon, why don’t “the terrorists” do this, and then make the lights go out—a simple matter—for a few days? If “the terrorists” hate us so badly, with their infinite funding and otherworldly capabilities that are hyped endlessly in the PSYOP delivery platform media, why the F don’t they do this when a 12-year-old can determine what undefended chokepoints to hit in a matter of minutes? Can someone please explain that to me?

Turner Broadcasting plans to take responsibility for the “hoax devices” that were found at several locations in and around Boston Wednesday that forced police bomb units to scramble throughout the area.

The incidents were part of a marketing campaign that involved a character from the cartoon show “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.”

“The ‘packages’ in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger. They are part of an outdoor marketing campaign in 10 cities in support of Adult Swim’s animated television show ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force,'” Turner Broadcasting, the parent company of Cartoon Network, said in a statement.

    Follow the Money.

    This movie “The Money Masters” is guaranteed to blow your mind (assuming you have 3 hours to watch both sections.

    Dude, It’s clearly a meta-ploy. Multiple levels of dist-iraqtion, fascination and complexity all rolled up into an ultraviolent cartoon.

    The cartoon, if you’ve ever had an opportunity to watch it, is pithy, irreverent, and hilarious.

    Describing what amounts to a fancy “light brite” as ‘an improved explosive device’ or ‘pipebomb’ strains belief, and demonstrates the level of control-induced insanity now prevalent in the new Orwellian security state that is the US.
    Talk of 2 to 5 years imprisonment (per sign) for placing harmless lighted signage just because the security state overreacted like some kind of bungling Inspector Cluso is sheer lunacy. What the $&%! kind of mentally unbalanced nation has this country become?

    My favorite quote (and straight out of either Orwell, or some jedi mind trick):
    “Public safety officials are all working together.”
    “There is no time for anyone to panic.”
    “We believe we have the situation in hand.”
    “Go about your business.”

    All that’s missing is either “These are not the droids you are looking for” or “War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength, We have always been at war with _____”
