The Boston Mayor said he'll take any and all legal actions for Turner Broadcasting to pay for the expenses of today's little mess-up.

Not looking so good for Adult Swim.

Somebody at Williams Street is gonna get fired, but I doubt this will affect the block or the movie heading for theaters.

Adultswim.com looks a little different then it did an hour ago, The ATHF episode "Remooning" is off the front page, as is all but two ATHF references. The trailer for the movie, and the game "Head Games."

By the way, considering its not Adult Swim time yet, we have over 85 people viewing the AS Forum.

My favorite MSNBC show, Countdown, better cover it...although I'm sure Billo will say something about it. Yes, Keith Olbermann will discuss it, and he will make fun of Boston (He's a huge Family Guy and Simpsons fan).

Countdown, Weekdays at 8PM EST MSNBC

He wants Turner to pay for his screw-up? Next he'll be shutting down 7/11s for their terrorist connections.

Remember it's 8PM on a Wednesday, and there are 100 people on the forums. This may have blown up in Williams Street's face, but it is damn good advertising. If just our forums are getting so many more viewers, just imagine what AS.com is getting.

This is the phone number, right? I'm assuming it is, and that they snagged a phone number that has their radio number, "1030", in it, right?

You can also listen to the radio channel over the internet from the link The Xenos posted if you can't find it on a radio.

Not only has this story made my day, but this thread has made this story entertaining on an entirely different level. That shirt is going to get a lot of people in trouble.

By the way, Adultswim.com has around 5000 threads about this, thanks to everyone here for keeping this contained and factual.

Really, they thought magnetic light brights were bombs? I don't see how Turner could be held responsible for other people being stupid.
