A Tale of Two Cities Being Flipped Off

Boston came to a screaming halt when aliens invaded and gave them the bird.

Austin had some street teams clamping magnetic advertising light boxes to walls. And went, “Oh, look, it’s Ignignokt, leader of the Mooninites.”

Electronic advertising devices that were mistaken for explosive devices brought Boston to a halt yesterday. It’s been widely reported that the Beantown Po-Po have charged two men with putting up magnetic ads for the upcoming spin-off movie from the Cartoon Network's animated show Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters but a little less widely reported that the same light boxes turned up in a dozen cities – including Austin.

Nowhere else did the population start shrieking about terrorists. Or alien invasions. It’s been suggested that Boston was a little more edgy about potential terrorist attacks because of 9/11, but since 40 of the light boxes were put up in New York and no one got freaked out, that dog don’t hunt.

So does this mean that Austin is too blasé about potential IADs on its streets, or is Boston just so square that it can’t recognize a Mooninite when it sees one?
