In the wake of a Boston bomb scare which turned out to be nothing more than Guerrilla Marketing, it seems that the CEO of Cartoon Network has officially stepped down, and CN parent company Turner has payed over 2 million dollars in restitution to the city of Boston. Probably not what CN envisioned when they launched the ad campaign, but then again, who could have foreseen this? Was CN wronged? Is this just kneejerk reactions to a post-9/11 America? Or did you also think the little Moon Man flipping you off was about to esplode? Vent in the comments!

Well, for anyone actually paying attention, you may have noticed that the daily random videos have been a little less daily than their name would imply. It's actually really hard to find a new video every day (at least enjoyable ones). It also meant nearly every article had a video in it, which was annoying. We here at confusinglygood have found a happy median though: Weekly Random Videos! We'll try to get them up by Friday afternoon each week so that you have something to start the weekend off right with. Unfortunately, I decided this tonight, which is a Saturday. But at least you're getting something!
So, without further ado, you can find this weeks video after the break, which just might be somehow related to the image to the right. Maybe.

Apparently, yesterday there was a series of suspicious looking objects in Boston, which people thought were bombs. Turns out they were actually LED boards of the Moonanites from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, in an elaborate gorilla marketing campaign. You heard me right: People actually mistook marketing for explosive devices.

Of course, they were placed under bridges, subways and other public places, and they were lit up, so I can see how your average person would mistake it for a bomb, just like they must mistake their television or microwave for one on a daily basis. "Aha! Made in Taiwan you say? Well the authorities will be hearing of this!" A day and several scary news stories later, people are now mad at the company that did the marketing campaign, interference inc, and are demanding that they and Cartoon Network, along with their parent company, Turner Broadcasting, be held accountable, which may include a fine of $500,000, which is what was spent to avert this disaster.

Attorney General Martha Coakley says the scare was not necessarily unfounded. "For those who responded to it, professionals, it had a very sinister appearance," Coakley said. "It had a battery behind it and wires."

Later that day, several RC Cars were taken from small children to be destroyed. The children are awaiting trial for their crimes against the government.

Check after the break for a video of the hanging of the Mooninites.
