The image that shut down Boston, New York laughed at, and Atlanta wondered about and cost Turner $2 million bucks - the Aqua Teen Hunger Force 1 is now a cute little necklace.
Blinking electronic devices that looked just like this necklace were planted around Boston to promote Aqua Teen Hunger Force late last month and they actually caused authorities, who were worried they might be bombs, to shut down bridges and highways. The Cartoon Network's corporate parent, Time Warner Inc.'s Turner Broadcasting Systems, and an advertising agency agreed to pay $2 million in compensation. In other news, the show's ratings also went way up. This glass pendant celebrating the phenomenon measures 1.25 inches by 1.25 inches.

I like the idea...I don't like the craftsmanship.
1I agree with gossipqueen - fun idea but it looks cheezy
2I still don't see how people mistook this for a bomb!?!?
3Yeah me either, it definately got blown out of proportion.
4Love. It.
5I wondered the same thing..but then I saw the picture of one and they have this cilinder looking thing at the bottom plus the image is giving you the finger so I can understand...still...
6I wouldn't wear it, but it's cute!

Ehh I really don't know who would wear that necklace. Its not very cute. And i don't think the mistaken bomb should be made into a fashion accessory.
9Good idea.
