The people in Boston were over reacting and if they watched the show they would know what a mooninite is ^_^ Too bad people are just plain studpid sometimes. It just makes you wonder.

Lmao, yeah I was watching the whole story develop, and when I saw a picture of Ignignok show up, I was like, you have got to be f*cking kidding me.... Because honestly, who the hell is stupid enough to not recognize the Mooninites? Even if you don't watch ATHF on a daily basis, many people would recognize them as "those block shaped things from that cartoon of a fast food meal". I mean, I figure at least one of the cops or whoever was investigating the "bombs" has a kid who watches ATHF, and would recognize it.... I don't know. I just think the whole big deal about it was pointless and retarted, and it shows exactly how stupid people in this country can be sometimes....

Until some idiout thought it was a bomb it was not a very good marketing campaign because they were out for a couple of weeks and nobody paid any attention to them. Now once it became a newsworthy event the word got out of course but in the grand scheme of things it was not quite the attention Cartoon Network was looking for. They will be able to spin it into some positive gains when it's all over I'm sure.

I really found this incident to be abundantly hilarious. I think it was worth the cash because even if its bad publicity its still wide publicity. Everyone has now heard about the incident, therefor it the word about the show has spread like wildfire. I think the funniest thing was the fact that they kept showing the picture of the moonite while giving everyone the finger! And here I believed that censorship was rampant... they are widely showing a cartoon picture of a character flipping everyone off..
