Aqua Teen Hunger Force

The buzz in the marketing world today focuses on Boston’s reaction to a guerrilla marketing campaign on behalf of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. As everyone at this point knows the “magnetic” light boxes were misinterpreted as, well, bombs. Suffice it to say that this marketing campaign might well be considered a bomb (at least for the guy who’s been arrested).

What’s interesting is the fact that the national media has taken to editing the image of the Mooninite coming off the Longfellow Bridge, check it out:



Did you spot the difference? Both images came from The Boston Channel, but other sources are either carrying the edited version or creating their own. It looks like the media was so embarrassed by the Mooninite’s middle finger that they went through the trouble of making their own version.

Now this is fan art!

Or, rather, it’s the opposite of fan art. Instead of recreating or altering something that they like, the news media has tried to hide what they hate.

Or something. Anyway, at least we all know about the new season of ATHF movie. Go marketing! Here are the originals if anyone wants them for anything:
