Things have been going crazy over Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I think their guerilla marketing strategy did work!

Check out these interesting links for the Aqua week:

• Aqua Teen Hunger Force Homemade LED Shirt
• Boston Mooninite installers arrested
• eBay Watch: Aqua Teen Hunger Force LED Board Selling for $787
• Video of people who got arrested (These guys are really cool…nice hair)
• Video of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force cartoon

Hmm…cool biornic ears, great stuff~

Boston Scientific’s bionic ear gets FDA approval today, perfectly timed to save the hearing of Metallica fans rounding 40+. The piece delivers 120 spectral bands, which is 5-10 times more than the competition. Hmm…120 bands? I bet that makes the world sound as if it were in MIDI. The internal sound processor hooks into the brain, while the external processor automatically adjusts gain to make speech clearer, whispers audible, and keep the brain from exploding in the vicinity of loud noises.

Remember the aqua teen hunger force that took over Boston for a day? Now their ratings have gone up by 20 to 30% over the last month or so.
Their $2 million lawsuit fees must have been part of the strategy. It would probably cost them much more to get as much boost…

Last month, a guerrilla marketing campaign for “Aqua Teen” led to a daylong terrorism scare in Boston after blinking boxes featuring a character from the show that had been placed around the city and elsewhere nationwide were mistaken for bombs. As a result, parent company Turner Broadcasting System had to pay Boston-area authorities $2 million to settle claims, and Cartoon Network general manager Jim Samples resigned.

Adult Swim set basic cable monthly records in total-day delivery in adults 18-34 (460,000, up 28% compared with February 2006), adults 18-24 (280,000, up 32%), males 18-34 (283,000, up 25%) and males 18-24 (169,000, up 20%). It also extended its streak as the No. 1 channel among males 18-24 to 23 consecutive months and ranked third among basic cable networks for total-day delivery in adults 18-49.
