    Well, a bigboy on a bigboy forum would call this "agressive ridicule".
    Agressive Ridicule (ah-gress-iv ri-duh-kewl): This kind of ridicule is the chance you take when you choose to flaunt your stupidity over the internet; someone with much more intelligence and logic than you sees it and then proceedes to point out your error in an agressive manner as to pubicly humiliate the perpatrator in an effort to lessen the chance of that error repeating itself.

    If people wish to stop receiving this kind of ridicule, I suggest that they stop being such narrowminded ninnies and start trying to use some logic before making a post. Maybe they can be shielded from this on this site, but on a real forum you will be subjected to it. It's usually what causes that person to either wisen up or leave the site, an effective "self-filter" for retards that this site apparently lacks. If only they would let me bring out the willow sticks...

    And it's not a question of the repliants maturity, but a question of the OP's stupidity. And for your laughable attempt at making yourself look like the "better man" in all this with your objections to profanity (no real man objects profanity) you've earned yourself this wonderful picture! -

    God forbid I actually show respect towards the other members rather than go around calling people retards and telling them to stfu. By the way, I don't fall for flamebait, so let's leave it at that. Anyways, let's get back to topic so I don't have to read anymore "intelligent" posts from Exoparadapsyphobia.

    This is how serious this situation is guys, :

    Well... the issue was considered 'important' enough that the head of the Cartoon Network was forced to resign because of the fallout from his advertising campaign...

    Well obviously some people are going to have to take the blame for the stunt. I don't know if it was nessacary for the guy to resign though.

    ........... :,(

    Wow, that sucks... sorry, Cartoon Network...
    Now that sure is a headline reader for Aqua Teen...
    I mean, wow... but aw man...

    *sigh* I'd like to say that "Cartoon Network was dying anyways ever since they started losing their good day shows", but that'd be a debate against people who like CN now. (but in my opinion, it was dying anyways)

    >.> (also, in my opinion... Aqua Teen should've stuck to late night Comedy Central for a better option at marketing... more people watch Comedy Central that know about the media.)

    But still.... that sucks... *siiiiigh*

    Hehehe, I laughed out loud when I saw that on the news. I was really surprised that they thought it was terrorism. Stupid ppl of Boston, dont any of you watch [AS]!? XP

    Sucks about the head of CN having to resign like that. Its not the heads fault, its the ppl of Boston that freaked out!! "OMG!! Its a pixel char. bomb!!! O[]O!!!"

    ...shame.

    Wowser, I see this is quite a topic. It's even had some tempers flairing. All I can say is... While it was distasteful, and untactful... Apparently for a publicity stunt it is working. Even if the response is negative (and I really hope that wasn't what CN was shooting for, because if they're THAT desperate.. I need a job, perhaps they'll hire me!).
    All in all, I hope the lesson is learned.. And I think I speak for most when I say "thank my lucky stars they weren't bombs".

    Re: adult swim gone terorist

    I just want to say one more thing about the "bombs" : "It wouldn't have been Aqua Teen Hunger Force if it was placed on a regular ad"...

    ...and "If anything were to blow up, Master Shake would've had to throw it to the ground"... :P

    <.< And "Seriously... if you put the ads up here in L.A. ... we would've been fine with it..."

    >_> And "I suppose if a bomb scare was placed in Boston due to their advertisements, the fans of Aqua Teen would be very proud of it."

    ._. Okay, I'll shut up now.
