Everyone Looks Bad in Aqua Teen Aftermath
Last week's hysterical/sad/alarming Aqua Teen Hunger Force ad campaign gone horribly wrong (or right, depending on your objectives) has since made pretty much all parties look bad. Turner initially wimped out with a meaningless statement, then eventually ponied up $2 million to cover the costs of the over-zealous reaction by the Boston-area authorities. The artists are starting to look pretty bad, now that it's come out they were filming the chaos instead of alerting someone that there were not any bombs (while it is comical, it also did cost a lot of money, a lot of stress, delayed many people trying to go about their business and someone could have been hurt during the "disarming" process). And, of course, the city of Boston comes off looking completely humorless in this whole endeavor, not to mention the aura of paranoia.
