        This show in wildly popular, especially with younger men. You cannot tell me that there was no one on the Boston police force would have recognized this was a mooninite, from ATHF, which is on Cartoon Network. They could have contacted Cartoon Network and cleared the whole thing up. I don't think Turner Broadcasting wants to blow up a major US city just for fun. But instead, officials caused panic and mass histeria through their own incompetence and inability to comunicate. If there is blame to be laid, it rests soley and squarely on the shoulders of the Boston Police.
