What's up with Boston? LED boards featuring Mooninite character for Adult Swim cartoon "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" had been placed for weeks in 10 other US cities, but caused a bomb scare only in Beantown.
The devices displayed one of the "Mooninites," outer-space delinquents who make frequent appearances on the cartoon, greeting passersby with a raised middle finger. Nine were reported around Boston on Wednesday, sending police bomb squads scrambling and snarling traffic and mass transit in one of the largest U.S. cities.
Boston police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll called Wednesday's incidents "a colossal waste of money." She had no immediate comment on whether any laws were broken but said police would investigate further.

Boston officials did blow the situation out of proportion by not examning the first board and taking the steps to calm the public and remove the remaining signs.
At the same time, the boards are a bit small for any decent examination on it's structure and as Debbie said, someone could take it the wrong way
Personally, I think it's hilarious. But if you take a step back and put the other factors in, it's really not as funny as initially thought. But one thing's for certain: I'm getting one of those alien shirts. hehehe >:)
