Bizarre Week in the War on Terror
This week the War on Terror took a turn towards the bizarre and surreal. Authorities shut down Boston as they found multiple suspicious packages around the city. After detonating many of the packages, they later learned that the packages were nothing more than an advertising system deployed on behalf of non-other than Turner Broadcasting the parent of CNN.
Two men working for an agency hired by Turner were arrested and face many charges. All of this promotional advertising material were directed at promoting a cartoon movie for an adult cartoon known as Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
An outer space delinquent that flies the bird in the advertisement turned out to be less dangerous than Osama Bin Laden, but a marked example of how much fear has penetrated into American culture where we now officially see real threats where there are only cartoons.
