Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters (directed by Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis): With all of the trans fats and rat infestations, fast food can be a scary thing these days. You can't help but wonder then if it was one really bad double bacon cheeseburgers that led to the creation of Aqua Teen Hunger Force's cartoon trio Frylock, Master Shake and Meatwad. A full length feature film version of Adult Swim's......

Reader Sacha sent us this picture of a flyer seen on Christopher Street. It looks like any ol' Wanted sign, until you see the words "Zodiac Killer" on it! Upon closer inspection, there are dates clearly noting it's from the 1960s and the line "San Francisco Police Department"... and then the words "In Theatres March 2nd" perhaps to minimize the chance of a Aqua Teen Hunger Force-scale freak-out that the Boston PD are so......

Between fake terrorist alerts and scandals big and small, this just might be the Best Best of the -ists ever. We're exhausted just thinking about it. First up, SFist, who saw their little 'ole site be the center of what was a nice little scandal (even getting their editor on TV) only to find their scandal dwarfed by the even bigger scandal caused by their Mayor boffing one of his aides' wife. We're not......

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly discussed the scourge that are LED devices with Aqua Teen Hunger Force characters on them yesterday. Kelly said, "In hindsight, [Interference Marketing] should have thought a little more about this, certainly in a post-9/11 world. They had wires hanging out of some of them. It's reasonable to look a little askance at these things." Also: "We get about 6,000 suspicious-package calls a year in New York, but we got no calls......

First things first: According to WNBC, the NYPD says that NYC marketing firm Interference Inc. gave them a list of 41 locations where the Aqua Teen Hunger Force LED devices were hung (38 in Manhattan, including the Meatpacking District, Greenwich Village, LES, and 3 in Brooklyn). The NYPD only found two which were at 33rd Street and the West Side Highway, which can only mean that everyone who passed by these things and heard......

Breathe easy, New York City - the NYPD has removed the LED pieces with Aqua Teen Hunger Force's mooninite Ignignokt from locations. It's unclear where they were, but WNBC reported that one was at 54th Street and 9th Avenue. And don't worry, folks, the Boston police have arrested Peter Berdovsky for planting the LED devices. Berdovsky's website, Zebbler.com, shows the locations of 20 devices (or, as the Massachusetts authorities are calling them, "hoax devices").......

Up in Boston, parts of the city were at a standstill when the police discovered a variety of suspicious packages. Streets were closed and mass transit was suspended as the police investigated... and found out the packages are part of a promotion for Aqua Teen Hunger Force! Seriously, major roads, a bridge, subway stations, and part of the Charles River were shut down for that. The Beantown police bomb squad blew up packages, finding......
