Checking in 4 years after your comment and 12 years after this happened and the media is an even bigger joke today. They haven't learned a damn thing. Sad!
"Your clients aren't generating much sympathy with either the press or the public with their attitude." Ohhhhh, believe me, they are generating A LOT OF sympathy with the public. They are the absolutely most awesome suspects ever. Their answer were much more interesting and sympathetic than the press.
Adult Swim seriously had balls to do this. To get these guys to represent the whole incident was great. I love how people are upset that they are "not taking it seriously" when they were told in the first place that they could not comment on it. Viva La Turner Broadcasting. Please hire me.
And none of the reporters realize that they've wasted like 15 minutes of air time... These guys are geniuses. The news is basically just advertising Aqua Teen at this point
I remember this like it was yesterday. The whole thing was hilariously absurd, start to finish. The joke was clearly on the reporters who actually did take it seriously. Like the lady chastising the Australian party kid. "People were frightened". So what? We know it was just a mistake, get over it. I'm still a little frustrated no one really had anything good to say about the much more interesting topic of haircuts in the 70's tho...
And this folks, is exactly the sort of thing that has led to us becoming the laughing stock of the entire planet. The gross incompetence and stupidity of the Boston police force in this incident is absolutely mind blowing. They locked down a multi-million person metropolitan area over light bright cartoon characters. How the members of the local government and police force responsible for this weren't fired is completely beyond me.
I think the Boston police department mistook a city-owned traffic counter for a bomb a month after this, or at least I read something to that effect somewhere. I think it’s safe to say the Boston Police Department, at the time, didn’t know what a bomb actually looked like.
Something that MUST be spoken about: This is one of the GREATEST lawyers in legal HISTORY! Say what you want about lawyers (we all know a LOT of them are douches), but this guy answered these questions like a lawyer BAWSS!! He's throwing off the media's cliche questions with answers almost as abstract as the shit his clients are saying!
From Wikipedia: On May 11, 2007, the prosecutors decided not to pursue criminal charges in exchange for community service and a public apology. Attorney General Martha Coakley cited the difficulty in proving intent to incite panic on the part of the two men and called the deal "an appropriate and fair resolution". Berdovsky and Stevens completed 80 and 60 hours of community service at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Center in Boston.
It's amazing how they get away with presenting their subjective feelings in a news show! wtf, America, of course people are susceptible to the idea of "fake news" that way.
As long as they keep showing late night anime I'm happy. Miss the golden days of Outlaw Star, Candidate for Goddess, Gundam Wing, and a bunch of others
having lived around this all I can say is LMAO and I'm still laughing my ass off. BTW, They all new about this and this was something that was used as PR :P
most amazing thing ever to be braodcasted on the news.. thank you for doing this so i dont have to be arrested and do it myself. laughter throughout the country on this one. glorious! hahhaha
I'm just saying that the average person who knows nothing about aqua teen and little about the background of this case will see that press conference and think "wow, these kids are disrespectful stoners... they must have done something wrong" It would have been nice to see them actually challenge the viewpoint that the city of Boston is trying to shove down people's throat.
I saw this on another video from Attack the Block series.... This is confusing part: They were arrested for making fake bomb threats and who was to blame for this?
molly gets it, why doesn't anyone else?! funny how they make it seem like such a serious topic! I remember my mom freaked out about it and we like in Cali and I was like "haha thats from Hunger Team Aqua Force! I love that show!" and she was like "no cuz no one knows what it is" haha
1:04 I'll take that as a "Perfect Hair Forever" reference another Adult Swim show at the time. These guys were trolling and promote after Boston overreacted lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😄 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
Funny how they were arraigned yet they didn't actually break any laws. They did NOT intended to cause a panic, and it wasn't their fault so many morons shit their pants at the sight of a lightbrite flipping them off. People caused their OWN panic. These guys did not.
You can see how the local govt deflected the whole problem on to these two guys, based off the media’s anger towards two guys that put up lightbrights lol
The entire thing was ridiculous. I wonder if it would have caused this much panic pre-9/11? I really hate blaming America's current mindset on 9/11, but it's things like this that really make me wonder...
This event actually sparked the immediate end of Cartoon Network. The resignation of Jim Samples and Stuart Snyder as the new CEO of Cartoon Network. People say the end of CN was in 2004. Wrong, its downfall started in 2007 and particularly this event.
i agree that the hair styles of the 80's did suck, lets all bring it back to the bob style dreads and the brian jones long hair short bangs dew. we have to start the revolution man, thanks guys....
They have no reason to be take the charges seriously, the same stunt went off without a hitch in at least 10 other towns. They are being charged with making the Boston police look like idiots.
this strange event... fox newspeople obviously never watched a beatles pressconference of over 40 years ago, or dylans PC, or other ancient press conferences at which the artists replied in an even stranger way... brilliantly done, perfect execution, this should happen more often!
His hair is pretty f*cking sweet! I can't beleive the reporters weren't even interested in their hairstyles. What is wrong with this world... How could someone with such awsome hair be put in jail for no reason?
I HATE how they keep calling it "terror promotion scare." they make it sound like they intentionally did a bomb scare, for a tv show promotion. just goes to show how badly the press twists stuff to sound differently than it really was. how about "tv show promotion turned misconstrued bomb scare?" With no "threat" mentioned at all since there were no threats made?
wow nothing was damaged turner broadcasting still have to pay $2 million to homeland and BostonPD this only happens in america... I am quite amazed that they still got back by being trolls to the public your doing it like a boss
Hahah amazing. And I was envisioning an old lady too...like the one from Harold and Kumar Go To Guantanamo Bay. Fox just really wanted to use the word terrorist, you could tell. This had nothing to do with terrorism. Honestly. Amazing though, I love these guys.
So let me get this straight, It took the city one million fucking dollars to make sure some lite brites weren't bombs... What, the, fuck
Shh that is too critical for general public minds....
2:20 mad respect to the one reporter who actually asked a hair related question. lol
Yah but he was also trying to get around the guys refusing to answer jail time questions lol
I know i'ts been 3yrs but: Smart man don't you think
"Hair today, gone tomorrow". He just said it so earnestly. it's perfect.
They generated symapthy with me. The media is a joke.
Checking in 4 years after your comment and 12 years after this happened and the media is an even bigger joke today. They haven't learned a damn thing. Sad!
Boston law enforcement was a joke
"Your clients aren't generating much sympathy with either the press or the public with their attitude."
Ohhhhh, believe me, they are generating A LOT OF sympathy with the public. They are the absolutely most awesome suspects ever. Their answer were much more interesting and sympathetic than the press.
Props to the sole reporter that actually asked a hair-related question.
Adult Swim seriously had balls to do this. To get these guys to represent the whole incident was great. I love how people are upset that they are "not taking it seriously" when they were told in the first place that they could not comment on it.
Viva La Turner Broadcasting. Please hire me.
And none of the reporters realize that they've wasted like 15 minutes of air time... These guys are geniuses. The news is basically just advertising Aqua Teen at this point
that's not a hair question I'm sorry
lmao
These guys (not the reporters) treated this situation with every square inch of seriousness this situation deserved!
I remember this like it was yesterday. The whole thing was hilariously absurd, start to finish. The joke was clearly on the reporters who actually did take it seriously. Like the lady chastising the Australian party kid. "People were frightened". So what? We know it was just a mistake, get over it. I'm still a little frustrated no one really had anything good to say about the much more interesting topic of haircuts in the 70's tho...
Wow. For someone who has been arrested, he sure does have a sense of humor
And this folks, is exactly the sort of thing that has led to us becoming the laughing stock of the entire planet. The gross incompetence and stupidity of the Boston police force in this incident is absolutely mind blowing. They locked down a multi-million person metropolitan area over light bright cartoon characters.

(Boston's population in 2021 is about 675,000....far from 'multi-million persons'.)
@@MrEthanDiamond there is a difference between the Boston city population and the Boston metro area population.
I think the Boston police department mistook a city-owned traffic counter for a bomb a month after this, or at least I read something to that effect somewhere. I think it’s safe to say the Boston Police Department, at the time, didn’t know what a bomb actually looked like.

He's throwing off the media's cliche questions with answers almost as abstract as the shit his clients are saying!
"You're not winning much sympathy from the public with your attitude."
I thought it was funny.
"Hair today gone tomorow" LOL
Am I the only one who thinks it's hillarious and pathetic that the city of Boston spent over a million dollars blowing up moonanites?
is your client embarrassed by this performance?
my client is a performance artist
heh heh heh hehe
"That's also not a hair question..."
In 2023, the reporters would have handled this quite differently.
This whole thing was a joke, and it's the best joke I've ever seen in my life.
And we're all laughing at more at Boston than these guys...
This press conference is amazing, but yet the media still keeps asking questions about what happened. :D
"Thats not a hair question im sorry" LOL!
12 years today, never forget
His name was carl brutananadilewski
Dear God they should make the movie's slogan "Aqua Teen Hunger Force; 9 out of 10 cities get the joke"
The reporter was exactly right. This is totally blown out of porportion and this was rediculus so thats how they resonded.
best trolling of the century. how's my hair?

You just gotta love how the media latches onto the story and makes a huge ass deal out of it.
This is the best way to handle something stupid. Ignore it completely and do something just as stupid.
It's amazing how they get away with presenting their subjective feelings in a news show! wtf, America, of course people are susceptible to the idea of "fake news" that way.
These guys are my heroes! Just shows how dumb the government can be. Since you know light brights are VERY dangerous and have all bomb components.
0:10 They sure look like "marketing executives" to me.
10 years later aqua teen had ended and CN almost dead
As long as they keep showing late night anime I'm happy. Miss the golden days of Outlaw Star, Candidate for Goddess, Gundam Wing, and a bunch of others
i would have asked "what brand of shampoo do you prefer and why?"
having lived around this all I can say is LMAO and I'm still laughing my ass off.
BTW, They all new about this and this was something that was used as PR :P
most amazing thing ever to be braodcasted on the news.. thank you for doing this so i dont have to be arrested and do it myself.
laughter throughout the country on this one. glorious! hahhaha
The Day OG Cartoon Network died. Shame what it has become…
Since 2001 I have loved this show. Aw man
STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER! It may be a bomb. Wait... I'm on a computer....
Stop all the traffic!!!
....
now if I ever make a popular cartoon someday, I want them to promote it,
there cheap and get peoples attention
This is seriously one of the greatest things I have ever seen.
I can't believe they're making such a huge deal about this. Wow. Unbelieveable.
How did I miss this??? The mooninites became a part of New history lmao
oh dear please. posting advertisements? and they get accused of terrorism? i loved this..i laughed so hard when i saw this all over tv.
The city of Boston cost themselves over 1 million dollars....over a few light brights. Dim bulbs, Dim bulbs indeed
lmfao, "That's not a hair question I'm sorry"
that laywer is a savage... " and if you, dont like it then eave these guys alone"
we went from bombs to hippies... hippies bombed Boston.
"that's not a hair question, I'm sorry"
these guys are heroes
This is gold!! That's not a hair question!
"The innocent shall suffer... big time."
Wow, good job Boston. You win the official overreacting over the stupidest thing award. Congrats!
Lmao. These guys are heroic.
lol that guy's such a "lawyer." 'thats your call.' LOL...
I'm just saying that the average person who knows nothing about aqua teen and little about the background of this case will see that press conference and think "wow, these kids are disrespectful stoners... they must have done something wrong" It would have been nice to see them actually challenge the viewpoint that the city of Boston is trying to shove down people's throat.
when is the 'right time' to engage in public expression and when is the 'wrong time'?
really? dude i'm SO sorry to hear that.
the last 40 seconds from Molly Line was actually really fair and balanced, IMO. And I'm a supporter of public art and ATHF.
I saw this on another video from Attack the Block series.... This is confusing part:
They were arrested for making fake bomb threats and who was to blame for this?
molly gets it, why doesn't anyone else?! funny how they make it seem like such a serious topic! I remember my mom freaked out about it and we like in Cali and I was like "haha thats from Hunger Team Aqua Force! I love that show!" and she was like "no cuz no one knows what it is" haha
This is hilarious!😂😂😂😂
the guy who finally asked the hair question is my jebus. lol a press confrence about hair
1:04 I'll take that as a "Perfect Hair Forever" reference another Adult Swim show at the time. These guys were trolling and promote after Boston overreacted lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😄 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
felizpuga, they are currently in guantanamo bay.
those guys are officially the coolest people on earth
BEST...PRESS...CONFERENCE...EVER!
hahaha i like how they showed the danzig episode hahahaha
These men are American heroes.
Funny how they were arraigned yet they didn't actually break any laws. They did NOT intended to cause a panic, and it wasn't their fault so many morons shit their pants at the sight of a lightbrite flipping them off. People caused their OWN panic. These guys did not.

I really hate blaming America's current mindset on 9/11, but it's things like this that really make me wonder...
I had to pause to double check that this was not a sketch from the Onion
This event actually sparked the immediate end of Cartoon Network. The resignation of Jim Samples and Stuart Snyder as the new CEO of Cartoon Network. People say the end of CN was in 2004. Wrong, its downfall started in 2007 and particularly this event.
if this event could send AS over the edge, then it definitely was going down hill before that.
so... what happen?
I mean it's been a year where the news on them?
are they still in there?
did they released?
i agree that the hair styles of the 80's did suck, lets all bring it back to the bob style dreads and the brian jones long hair short bangs dew. we have to start the revolution man, thanks guys....
If by "50% of Boston's population", you mean "two police officers and one MBTA passenger".
They have no reason to be take the charges seriously, the same stunt went off without a hitch in at least 10 other towns. They are being charged with making the Boston police look like idiots.
Wait what? This video was posted in 2007? Seems creepy to me...
So what of any new news of this? Any other stuff from these guys or about how the case is progressing? If you know plz message me with links and stuff
They definitely got sympathy from everyone who knew that trying to give them legal charges was a joke
this strange event...
fox newspeople obviously never watched a beatles pressconference of over 40 years ago, or dylans PC, or other ancient press conferences at which the artists replied in an even stranger way...
brilliantly done, perfect execution, this should happen more often!
His hair is pretty f*cking sweet! I can't beleive the reporters weren't even interested in their hairstyles. What is wrong with this world... How could someone with such awsome hair be put in jail for no reason?
man I remember this. It was trolling irl before it became a thing to do irl
Ok, I know it was 2008 and 9/11 was still pretty fresh in everyone’s mind, but even back then this felt a little bit like over kill
I HATE how they keep calling it "terror promotion scare." they make it sound like they intentionally did a bomb scare, for a tv show promotion. just goes to show how badly the press twists stuff to sound differently than it really was. how about "tv show promotion turned misconstrued bomb scare?" With no "threat" mentioned at all since there were no threats made?
uh maybe they were up for three weeks and nobody did anything about them until now
Well to sum this all up: Boston blew it, Fox News sucks, the hair thing was beautiful, and these guys rock.
so how did this start?
I was the 1k like. I'd like to thank my hair.
Who came from Zen Huxtable?
i'm still scared!
wow nothing was damaged turner broadcasting still have to pay $2 million to homeland and BostonPD this only happens in america... I am quite amazed that they still got back by being trolls to the public your doing it like a boss
Hair today, gone tomorrow.
Hahah amazing. And I was envisioning an old lady too...like the one from Harold and Kumar Go To Guantanamo Bay. Fox just really wanted to use the word terrorist, you could tell. This had nothing to do with terrorism. Honestly. Amazing though, I love these guys.
Frylock opines: Press, leave the writers alone! Uh, see our film anyways, folks. What, it's too late? Damn.
They forgot to mention the overly large disco fro!!
this is wat made the president of CN resign...
They've finally taken attention away from New Jersey. Thinking a lite brite is a bomb they should really stick to hair questions.
That's kinda cool how they didn't talk about the subject.
It's hilarious.
