Hub Hoax Hubbub
B.A. already snagged this one, but I can't let a terror attack on my erstwhile hometown pass without comment. The terror group was the Mooninites, perpetual tormentors of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The difference here is that the Mooninites' insults usually just bounce off the ATHF but Boston panicked. Big time. They called out the Bomb Squad, the Coast Guard (!), and threw the conspirators in jail. This is the kind of fun-loving, lighthearted behavior I've learned to expect from the town I fled nine years ago (my last memory of Boston is a police riot there's no other way to describe it directed at the audience of an outdoor Green Day concert). Besides, how can a town that calls itself the Hub of the Universe not expect to draw the attention of the irascible Mooninites?

It's post-9/11! We need to go to war! We need to blow something up! We need to arrest people! And we must kill all Mooninites!!
We need to be really, really paranoid.
Seriously, I don't see how your post relates to hairstyles of the 1970's.
Boston calls itself the Hub of the Universe? PLEASE tell me you are joking.
I am typically not that thrilled with the mooninite storylines in AQTH, but i must admit, every time i see a lightbright version of them giving the finger, i chortle outloud.
Also, talk about a marketing scheme paying off! The numbers for their upcoming movie will be double now. And Bush and his peeps can feel satisfied with a job well done scaring the pants off of Boston this much. Everyone wins.
People in Boston are nekkid from the waist down now? No wonder they're the hub of the universe!
