Aqua Te...rrorists? Holy Fuck!

Five years of ratcheting up the rhetoric over ter'ists and we've got pants-shittingly terrified hydroencephalii overreacting to LED renditions of Ignignokt and Err in Boston.

It never occurred to me that we, as a country, would have to take the fears of paranoid pussies into account before we do anything. Look at this goddamned picture:


What kind of addle-brained cunt thinks that's a bomb (and that picture is after the battery cover has been removed)? What kind of psychosis do you have to be under? It would be far more conductive to the mental health of our society to lock up the fucker that called the police, rather than two employees of the advertising agency that created the promotion. And the mayor of Boston should be run right the fuck out of town for bitching out over this.

"It is outrageous, in a post 9/11 world, that a company would use this type of marketing scheme," Mayor Thomas Menino said. "I am prepared to take any and all legal action against Turner Broadcasting and its affiliates for any and all expenses incurred during the response to today's incidents."


What? Overreact much, you fucking dolt? He also threatened to petition the FCC to have the Cartoon Network's license revoked. What a fucking tool. Give it up, folks. If this is how we handle ourselves over blinking electronics, the terrorists have damn well already won.

One of the news stories I read through the great Google news service was written by some reporter that made a connection between how citizens in Boston should have been more shook by the ad stunt because that's where the 9/11 planes took off from. Nevermind that the same stunt, acc. to the same story, went pretty much unnoticed & unreported in New York, the focal point of 9/11.

Overall, the fallout of this story makes me ashamed to be American. I'm becoming more ashamed of the human race the more this year progresses. Funny thing is, I have this feeling that we have yet to see the depths of how low we as a people can go. This is more depressing than the majority of Adult Swim's "original" programming.
