Ignorantly Cartoon Network came up with an ill conceived publicity stunt revolving around items that were mistaken for bombs. There were a handful of people that were aware these items were for the Cartoon Network promotion. Thousands of others that saw them thought they were potential bombs. After the 9/11 attacks it's good to know that people are aware of there surroundings, and things that seem to be potentially dangerous. Cartoon Network however, didn't think about the potential problem they would be causing. Hopefully it won't happen again, but who knows.

Cartoon Network posted several flat, light up signs showing a character of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" flashing a rude gesture in many US cities. People in Boston complained to police, which shut down the city of Boston (literally) all morning because it was believed the signs were bombs.
