One arrested in Boston devices ploy(AP)Updated: 2007-02-01 10:45
Wanda Higgins, a 47-year-old Weymouth resident and a nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, heard about the threat as she watched television news coverage while preparing to leave work at 4 p.m. "I saw the bomb squad guys carrying a paper bag with their bare hands," Higgins said. "I knew it couldn't be too serious." Messages seeking additional comment from the Atlanta-based Cartoon Network were left with several publicists. "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" is a cartoon with a cultish following that airs as part of the Adult Swim late-night block of programs for adults on the Cartoon Network. A feature length film based on the show is slated for release March 23. The cartoon also includes two trouble-making, 1980s-graphic-like characters called "mooninites," named Ignignokt and Err ¡ª who were pictured on the suspicious devices. They are known for making the obscene hand gesture depicted on the devices.
