Aqua Teen Hunger Force controversy in Boston
Main article: 2007 Boston Mooninite panic

On January 31, 2007, several guerrilla-marketing magnetic light displays in and around the city of Boston, Massachusetts were mistaken for possible explosive devices. Several subway stations, bridges, and a portion of Interstate 93 were closed as police examined, removed, and in some cases, destroyed the devices. The suspicious objects were revealed to be ads depicting the Mooninites, Ignignokt and Err, characters from Adult Swim's animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
