AHHHHH WHAT THE HELL IS THAT

>>211385431 (OP)
kek. Does anybody have the interview from the guys who did it? Reporters kept asking them questions about the case but obviously they weren't going to answer that, but instead of saying "no comment" they kept talking about haircuts.

>>211385608
it was literally boston's 10/7

>>211385431 (OP)
lol i member this

>>211385431 (OP)
What is this terroristic messaging

>>211385431 (OP)
BAWSTON STWONG! Except when LED characters appear, then everyone turns into a bitch

People blame the internet for making people dumb but seems like people were more retarded back then

>>211385786
Boston has always been retarded.

you'd think the cops would've realized that terrorists might have more sinister plans than "let's make light-up signs of cartoon characters flipping the bird", i'm sure osama was cursing himself for not coming up with it first

>>211385431 (OP)
Can someone jog my memory? am I crazy or were Opie & Anthony involved with this as well?

I vaguely recall the Mayor of Boston accusing them of something during this event even though it was obvious to everyone Cartoon Network was responsible

>>211385890
A better question is why would terrorists make their bombs so visible in the first place. Apparently they're not too bright in Boston. All the other cities they did the advertising in everyone was like "Cool lite brites bro"

>>211385983
Nah that was years before the ATHF thing. They got fired from the radio station they were working at because during april fools they said the mayor had been killed in a traffic accident

>>211385786
i wish we could go back, boomers weren't on the internet yet

>>211385890
>>211386004
Terrorists make their bombs look like toys so kids are tricked into picking them up and having the bomb explode and kill them. My mother would always tell me this to make sure I didn't pick up any strange objects lying on the ground.

Adult Swim kinda sucks but I like it when they do ARG Larps

>>211385431 (OP)
This stunt actually killed Cartoon Network and turned it into the slopfactory it is now. Not even kidding. Because ATHF's creators refused to apologize, the president of Cartoon Network (the guy who built it up from showing reruns of dogshit Hanna Barbera 24/7, oversaw its transformation into a production studio, enabled Adult Swim, bought into the idea of Toonami, helped poach of bunch of guys from CalArts before it turned to shit, etc.) he was forced to resign. Because he resigned, Scott Snyder came in and killed the entire network. Shelved Toonami, tried on three occasions to mimic Nick/TDC and turn it into a live-action channel, gutted the animation studio, just all around is the reason why CN sucks fat cocks now. I think ATHF is really funny, but it wasn't worth losing that kind of institutional programming that had been built up over 20 years of hard work because they wouldn't apologize.

>>211386463
Someone at Boston should resign for causing mass panic because of some LED lights

>>211386382
Your mother was an idiot. These were LED signs they hung up high so they'd be visible at night at say an intersection. And terrorists don't like their bombs visible at all, they hide them in something in crowded areas and wait until the maximum number of people are nearby to detonate. Drawing attention to them with brightly lit cartoon characters would defeat the purpose

>>211386587
My mother was an officer with 20 years on the force. You don't know what you're talking about, kid.

>>211386382
>Terrorists make their bombs look like toys so kids are tricked into picking them up
Women's true crime addiction and its consequences

>>211386625
20 years on the force huh, must have been one dumb cop. Nobody in any of the other cities freaked out when this marketing campaign went on. Only Boston idiots freaked out, at LED characters on a sign

>>211385983
they probably talked about it, but they were in New York at XM then, they left Boston in the 90s.

>>211386625
Can you name one single instance of toy bombs killing a kid in America?
I don't believe it's ever happened.

It still trips me out that retards think irl bombs actually look like something the joker would make to taunt Batman.

>>211387723
Just looked it up: it's never happened.
The same as that old wives tale about people giving out poison candy on Halloween (which has only ever happened when parents poisoned their own children, no one has ever distributed poison to random trick or treaters.)

>>211387723
>>211387771
>Just another beautiful day not worrying about bombs disguised as children's t-OH N-

>>211387771
To be fair to them, it was still a very "war on terror, danger is everywhere, be on high alert!" atmosphere in the late Bush era

>>211385431 (OP)
in retrospect they chose the wrong year to check for bombs

>>211387723
there's probably some instances of lead in toys that caused problems

>>211386382
Ok but this was in America

>>211385608
They truly were... an Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
>>211386463
That's Boston and its residents own fault for being retards, they shouldn't have to apologize for other people making complete fools of themselves. I find it hard to believe not one person from the place was able to realize "oh it's that character from the late night cartoon show" it was blown out of proportion and Boston is a laughingstock as a result of their incompetence.
>>211386579
Exactly

>>211387723
You realize that Molassas killed like 19 people in Boston in the 1800s

>>211392043
Anwar Molassas?

>>211392107
you funny fucker

>>211385431 (OP)
Genuinely one of the lowest boomer moments in history. Calling in bomb squads and grinding the city of Boston to a halt over Lite Brites

>>211385431 (OP)
Boston sucks.

Boston police are some of the dumbest motherfuckers literally in the world. Genuinely third world intelligence.

>>211385663
What is 10/7?
Are you referring to the time Hamas Jan 6ed inside Israel?

Remember this happened in 2007. If this had gone down anytime before September 2001, everyone would have just laughed at the city of Boston and the Boston PD for being complete retards and gone about their day.

>>211392797
No, they're a joke and will be known as a joke for all time. Being from Boston is a stain.

>>211385431 (OP)
I was in the car with my mom when this story came on the radio. I already heard about it so I kind of chuckled to myself and she got angry and admonished me because people could have died.

>>211385731
The journalist that asked the hair question made me laugh harder than I have in ages, thanks anon.

>>211386463
>Because ATHF's creators refused to apologize
Neither would I. That's on Boston and the media being retarded and trying to fearmonger.

Everyone in Massachusetts is a worthless potato nigger, good for nothing but shooting opiates and running their fat drunkard mouths. Fuck Boston and fuck the Irish. Italia sends it's regards.

>>211385786
They were definitely more innocent, but sometimes innocence is better.

>>211392755
Someone tell Miyazki Japan never apologized.

>>211385431 (OP)
This was the moment where I felt a cosmic shift in the timeline, like the entire universe slid off one of its supports and everything started to go wrong.

>>211392606
This is true. The late mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, the one who freaked out over this, has a son Thomas Menino Jr. Young Tommy was a Boston cop and was reprimanded for putting in time cards that said he worked 25-27 hours a day. But even in Boston days are only 24 hours.

Amerifats shit their pants over this and then wonder why the rest of the world laughs at them.

>>211393632
No we don't. We don't give a fuck what the rest of the world thinks.

Funny how they were quick to jump into action over this but when there was actual bomb threat at the marathon they did nothing.

Thanks for ruining CN forever, you fucking townie faggots.

>>211385731
>Don't you think you owe the city of Boston an apology for losing one million dollars?
Jesus what a fucking tool. That reporter who asked a hair question was based though.

I remember all the news stations covering this and having to hold back laughter when describing the show’s premise

>>211393512
I’m pretty sure these things were in new york too and they didn’t freak out

>>211394526
>And if you don't like what you're seeing here, why don't you...leave the guys alone?
rare based lawyer

I remember finding /b/ in February of 2007? this vtech, and rick rolling was posted a lot during my first year on 4chan. lol I remember when some kid hacked Sarah Palin's email and posted it on /b/?

>>211394595
Yes, fucking retard. He could've started answering her emails for her instead.

>>211386463
lazzo?

There's a quest in Baldur's Gate 3 based on that premise.

The vtech just kicked in memes were choice

>>211386587
to be fair, LED in lower case looks like led, IED
I think I've just solved it

>>211386382
same when I was a child in vietnam, I was told that if I see a green disc embedded in the ground it isn't a "mario jump pad" and I should leave it alone.

>>211386625
Your mother was an idiot who didn't understand technology and was terrified by blinking lights and circuitboards. She probably would have had a heart attack if she got a "bomb" mailed to her by Unconquered Seminole Man. There's basically nothing you could say at this point to not make your family sound criminally retarded.
