Mooninite massacre

Ignignokt and ErrToday Boston’s Finest, in conjunction with the Massachusetts State Police, set about the city destroying any Mooninite they could find.

Someone noticed Err or Ignignokt today after they had been in the wild for two weeks or so. Since this person had no concept of who or what they were, they cried bomb!

“Yes, surely it is a bomb! Look at him flipping me off like that!”

Now, I understand the concern for the public’s safety, but we aren’t talking about an abandoned suitcase or unassuming cardboard box on the street here. We are talking about little signs, magnetically attached to some structure. Okay, so maybe not such a good idea to affix them to bridges, but hey, if you get a good peep at it, doesn’t it look harmless enough?

At least we can sleep easy tonight knowing the alleged mastermind behind this scheme has been arrested. It’s his fault and not Turner‘s, right?

Well, we’ll see if this little overreaction on the part of the city has any affect on the box office numbers when the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie drops this Spring. Will there be a Snakes on a Plane effect?

I don’t think so, but this little episode has me wishing I found one of those little guys to make him my own and wanting to see the flick in the theater — for no real good reason — rather than wait for DVD.

Thanks to everyone who e-mailed or called me about this today. I almost broke my blogging at work rule… almost.

Update: Ed has a great editorial posted over on the Zone about this mess.
