Aqua Teen Hunger Force: "Number one in 'da jihad, G"
12:11 Thursday, February 1, 2007
The city of Boston was brought to its knees yesterday by a cartoon character flipping the bird. Signs featuring "Ignignokt," a character from the hit late-night cartoon show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" on the cartoon network were placed at bridges, tunnels, and other key locations around the city as part of a viral marketing scheme to promote the upcoming full-length movie. Tuner Broadcasting, the parent company of The Cartoon Network, has apologized for the ploy but I doubt officials in Boston are going to let this one slide.
You can't buy advertising like this. If you aren't familiar with the show, it revolves around a box of fries, a milkshake, and a wad of meat that are supposed to be fighting crime but usually just end up destroying their neighbor Carl's house, pool, or hot rod. I can't wait for the movie
