Just saw one of these last weekend stuck to the Chicago El Red line at Lawrence. Not sure if it's still there, but sweet indeed.

Danielrh9 (77 months ago | reply)
Oh my gosh, the Boston police are such fucktards for continually classifying this as a "hoax". No. It's not. It's an advertising campaign. And apparently, it's more advanced than Boston can comprehend with 100% of their brain.

Anyone seen these in Austin?! I need one. I need to flip the bird as hard as I can.

Hahahah, found it under a bridge... I can't believe this is the lead story on cnn.com right now.
_mpd_ [deleted] (77 months ago | reply)
If it's a hoax, and these are hoax aliens, then I guess I can disassemble the Speak-N-Spell and the satellite dish?

I heard about this on NPR, but they didn't mention Adult Swim, ATHF, or any details. Somehow I KNEW it involved Ignignot and Er. That's the only way I could figure they were being so vague about the details. AWESOME. Now I have something to do with my Lite Brite.

I have flagged your picture as potentially offensive, seeing as the Mooninites hate Freedom.

ZOMG Lights under a bridge! Call the national guard! /boston can suck sometimes.

saiyanstunna87 (77 months ago | reply)
The authorities are just lookin for a scapegoat because they don't wanna admit that they got owned in the face by ATHF.

Gee, I wonder why they call us New Englanders uptight? I cannot BELIEVE a cartoon character threatened anyone in Boston. Sure, we'll let any terrorist board a plane to New York...but a light bright??? That's just crazy!

They got NPR to mention "Aqua Teen Hunger Force". I'd say it was a successful ad campaign.

Oh no! a Mooninite! Someone call the FBI! Shut down the city, close the subway, all the roads and bridges! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!! (guess what city I am in...)

Those are great! I don't get how those guys are being charged with it being a "hoax," A hoax of what? they never said they were bombs. when People get upset over what are essentially High tech Lite-Brites thats pretty sad.

If this is a bomb then I would warn IKEA and other retailers in case Boston Police start "defusing" alarm clocks all over the freakin' shop...
Boston Wolverine (77 months ago | reply)
My favorite part is that they saw this design... a pixellated alien flipping them off... and thought, "BY GOD, IT'S TERRORISTS!!11!1" A natural conclusion that we would all draw, I'm sure.
I hope the city bigwigs realize the best way to minimize embarrassment from this already considerably embarrassing situation (hilarious as it is to everyone not in the Boston PD) is to quietly let it go away, not press charges and keep attention on it.
Oh, and good job, getting a shot of one of these explosive menaces in the lite-brited flesh.

Operation Iggy Freedom
xjohnpaulx (77 months ago | reply)
the only mildly weird thing about these is the program in the one logic chip. it makes the thing go into a test mode (blink then solid then off) when you first put in batteries. it takes maybe 1.5 - 2 hours of darkness for them to turn on, and they do not immediately go off when in light.
all that aside, that was for the specific use these had. a homebrew one doesn't need that. just 150 or so 10mm 3volt LEDs and some basic circuit building knowledge. i did see at least one DIY remake on ebay already. it used a wall wart to power it and had a on/off switch and didn't have the light sensor. probably more useful for home use. it should still be up there if you want to be inspired.

Note to Al Qaeda, batteries + exposed wires = BOMB! Next time spend the extra twenty cents and buy some heat shrink tubing.

For the love of god our illustrious mayor actually just tried to get this movie banned in Boston. LET IT GO ALREADY! The theatres told him to eat them. Pretty sure he did.
cyberredneckrobert (67 months ago | reply)
this thing would have gone better if they did at least this:
tape a semi-clear envelope, like a shipping invoice sticker, holding a paper with information about the device.
Since the controversy's heat has gone cold, it should be safe to make and sell these, only for use as an inside decoration, though.
