ATHF Resonance

I find the over-reaction of the Boston regarding the ATHF and bomb hoax to be coherent with the state of the entire homeland security in the US.

Check out the nytimes article: link

If you don't know what the hell ATHF is, it means Aqua Teen Hunger Force.


This character is Ignignokt. He is the leader of the Mooninites. He is from the moon and hence far superior to anybody. In fact he considers Earth as his moon. And his image around Boston caused much anxiety. No wonder.

It's not about swimming. There are no teenagers. And I'm not sure if they are very hungry.
It's just a "not suitable for adults" cartoon.

The cartoon is damn funny lor.

But the over-reaction is not uncommon. If you have car keys that flip open, you cannot carry it onboard US planes. They tell you it's a switchblade. I've got a TSA approved luggage strap. But when I flew on United, I was told to remove the strap. So what's the point of getting a TSA approved luggage strap which is much more expensive than a normal strap?

It resonates with Babel. Maybe it's just me. If we are prone to become victims of our own hubris, America needs some serious counselling. Or as they say in that country, she needs to see her shrink.
