It was a form of Guerrilla Marketing. They placed little flashing signs of Aqua Teen Hunger Force charactes on buildings and bridges in the city, and by seeing the ATHF characters, they would recognize them when previews for the movie started coming out. It's supposed to be one of those subtle things, where you don't really know you've been advertised to.

Anything that isn't familiar and has LEDs is automatically a bomb.  Guaranteed. 100%.  Everyone knows that!  Just ask the Boston Police.

They were Light BrightTM pegs, not LEDs.

They were much bigger than "Lite-Brite", they were just designed after it.


But yeah, why would terrorists put big LEDs on their bombs?  That wouldn't make any sense.  Let's try and draw attention to our weapons! Woo!

I think the Boston police/whoever else totally over-reacted.

I'd laugh that if when they were blowing up the "bomb" under the bridge, that their bomb accidentally blew up the bridge. :D

Haha, yesterday morning I watched that in Computer Science and we (friends) ended up talking about the whole situation.
