Aqua-Gate

Turns out that (shockingly) San Francisco is not as tight-assed about the Aqua-Gate viral marketing scheme as Boston.

Go figure.

Okay, this Aqua Teen Hungerforce thing is getting better and better.

The two guys accused of perpetrating the "crime" of hanging some light-up signs in Boston held a press conference with all the major media outlets in the country and would only talk about haircuts.

"That's not a hair question." Bwha-ha-ha-ha!!!?

Aqua-Gate update: Sean Stevens, 28, and Peter Berdovsky, 27, were arrested yesterday for their part in a viral-marketing stunt gone horribly wrong in Boston.

They were, apparently, responsible for hanging the Aqua Teen Hunger Force LED advertisements around Boston, that were mistaken for terrorist weapons, causing a scare yesterday?that basically?shut down the city of Boston for several hours.

The two accussed?are?to appear in state court in Charlestown to face charges of placing a hoax device and disorderly conduct. Turner Broadcasting, a unit of Time Warner Inc., late Wednesday said it was responsible for the devices, which had been installed in 10 major U.S. cities. The charges could add up to a maximun of five years in jail

Massachusetts officials are looking into suing Turner Broadcasting for the cost of the police panic to the tune of at least?million bucks.

If you happen to have a few hundred bucks, you might want to buy one of the actual signs that caused the panic on eBay.

I, for one, am starting the Free Ignignokts movement.

BREAKING NEWS! The Mooninites from Aqua Teen Hungerforce have invaded Boston.

According to CBS4 Boston, four suspicious devices have virtually shut down the city, with the bomb squad, the police, and no doubt the FBI examining the devices, and speculating that they are connected to terrorism.

No one seems to have noticed yet that, judging from the photo, they are representatives of?Ignignokts from Aqua Teen HungerForce.

Thanks to Something Awful's forums for getting the real story before the actual media.

Here at TheFeed, it is our duty to provide you with all of the Rush news that's fit to print. Today, we are proud to tell you that Rush drummer Neil Peart has been cast as one of the voice actors in the upcoming Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie, opening in March.

In addition to being one of the greatest drummers of all time, Peart is an excellent lyricist, writing the lion's share of all of the lyrics for the band. He doesn't sing, however, so no one knows what his voice sounds like. For all you know, you've heard him talk several times before.

At any rate, here's an awesome Peart drum solo.
