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.

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.

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!

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.

Boston Wolverine  Pro User  says:

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.

xjohnpaulx  Pro User  says:

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.

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.
