[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Aqua Teen couch potatoes (Page 1 of 2)
Except, that was actually meant to cause harm and be a real destructive item. NOT advertiseing campaign. |
Eau de Semtex? |
So are you suggesting we should call in the bomb squad on every hotel lobby, gift shop, and book store that sell votive candles in the country, you know, for the children? 
|
I would suggest it's time to leave your mothers basement and change your bong water. |
So the call goes in to the bomb squad and they descend upon the mall. Your favorite t.v. cartoon show gets interrupted with live coverage of a cordon of the mall. You immediately conclude this is all just a prank and the town, city, FBI and first responders are all a bunch of clowns over reacting because you just saw a votive candle on a previous cartoon episode. Clearly there is no threat to anyone. |
I'll be sure to tell the wife and kids that we apparantly have not been living away from home for 20 years then.  Guess the bong which I never hit made me believe I didn't live there.  |
So we should freak out over everything and pray the .gov will protect us? AmericanPatriot? Turn in your screen name. |
Your hero....  Maybe you can adopt this non citizen and play guitar in his band....dude. |
Seriously... Turn it in. |
People who made fun of the initial response were silly. Cops don't have the luxury of assuming a 911 call about a bomb is a hoax....not to mention that at the same time they also discovered a "real" fake pipe bomb at a hospital.... Their first response was perfectly justified. The aftermath, however, is a different story. Now that it is in the hands of the politicians it is about as painful to watch as a Rosie O'Donnell dry humping Hillary Clinton's leg. |
Next time I see a lone trashcan sitting on the side of the road, I'll be sure to call my local PD and have them send the bomb squad. Who knows how much explosive you could fit in one of those? |
How about a Ryder truck filled with fertilizer parked outside your office building? Once again you dope smokers have missed the point. The call has ALREADY been made and being investigated as a bomb scare. Yeah, it appears to be a harmless trash can. Go ahead and pick up the lid.....you first....! The third phone call into the Boston center WAS for a real pipe bomb threat. Don't let the facts get in the way of your already clouded minds. |
Appears to be the 'logic' presented here. Maybe I should start documenting the license plate of every vehicle that pulls into the gas station just down the street. After all, they could be buying gas to make molotov cocktails. ...Or worse, fueling up their explosive laden vehicles. ...But then again they could just be going into the convenience store for a quick tinfoil and Kool-Aid re-supply. |

+1 And to the OP, personal attacks do not lend any credibility to your argument. Please, stop now. |
No...I think the original poster was chastizing all who thought the extreme panic caused in Boston by a bunch of Light Bright Mooninites was rediculous. Using the logic that...The little votive candle is equally as harmless looking as a Light Bright. IMHO...The INITIAL response WAS justified (when a possible threat is called in, it MUST be taken seriously) However; the shutting down of Boston, and hysterical panic, and FOX News alerts...were rediculous. Even MORE rediculous, is the citizen who initially saw the Light Bright and said "Oh my god, I need to call 911". |
DUDE!...A dinosaur flying a fighter jet IS incredibly AWESOME!!! |
I totally agree...Let's start with Turner, shall we??? From another thread: Originally Posted By HeavyMetal/thedoc308: <snippage of the blah blah> I know what the Moononites are, apparently she did not before this thread. I still don't . Wanna know why? I mean, besides the fact I don't give a shit. First, as I've hinted at...but you children failed to grasp...I'm a grownup. Cartoons are watched by children. Second, they went about this all wrong. The noodleheads watching this shit, are not sitting in traffic going to their 120k/year job in Boston's business district. So, placing the devices on bridges where nobody brain dead enough to actually WATCH the program would see them, was a case of this marketing team "not knowing their target audience." Had they placed them in areas where grownups with nothing better to do than to watch cartoons congregate...oh I dunno...say the UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICES and THE MALL...perhaps they would have gotten the response YOU think is appropriate. They put them in places that were suspect. And kept quiet for hours as it unfolded. That is what we grownups call INTENT. No I don't work for Boston. Don't live there, either. Won't even drive in the hell hole that is Boston. I'm just really sick and tired of all the freaken "experts" chiming in on this. "Randomly Panic" My Ass. You don't advertise condoms on the "Food Network." You don't advertise Donuts on the "Fitness Network" Let's not advertise cartoons on the work network known as highway bridges and such, mmmkay??? |
Um, yes they are. I did. Most of my coworkers did. AdultSwim's target demographic is 18-34 year old men. Have you actually been to Boston? Do you realize that half the city is colleges? Most of those college kids end up getting high dollar jobs in the financial district or at tech businesses in the city. How do I know this? Well, maybe because I USED TO WORK IN BOSTON and I can tell you that about half the people walking around Copley Square at lunch are 18-34 year olds. Maybe you should take five minutes to do some actual market research before you start spouting off ignorant bullshit. "Unemployment line," indeed.

Fixed it to make sense. Sorry. But the MEN I know don't spend time playing with lite brites and watching Nickleodeon. And I still think they could have reached their target audience in a better way. I mean, there are plenty of females who watch football, but we don't expect to see feminine products advertised during the game. They used today's post 9/11 world to their benefit. They COULD have stopped it before it got out of hand and chose NOT TO to reap the benefits of broader advertising. Intent. Plain and simple. |
+1 I would rather an IED kill my family and myself RIGHT NOW than to live in an America that lives under terror and overzealous security measures. |
