Don't Worry, They Didn't Get Me With Their Moon Rays

Hi everybody! I know you were all worried for my safety, what with the Mooninite invasion and all, but I seem to have made it through alive. I think one of them might be giving my city the finger as hard as he possibly can, though.

One of my coworkers who lives in Somerville got a message on her phone from her sister, saying she heard about "all the packages" and she hoped we were OK. What? Are people getting trapped in boxes? Mailed, even? Then, on the way home from work, I had the privilege of hearing NPR cover this story. Maybe they, or the city of Boston, should hire someone under the age of 30 as the official "Don't worry, it's from a cartoon" person.

Now, today, they arrested two of the guys who did it, and the Boston officials are saying that it was an attempt to advertise through "fear," which is just ridiculous! The idea behind this was not to get people to think "Oh my god, that's a bomb! I'd better watch that cartoon!" Because that would be really stupid. The idea was to have people say, "Oh my god, who's that squarish, pixelated guy giving me the finger? I want to know more." These puritans have no sense of humor, sheesh.

In other news: well... there really isn't any. I just had to get that out.
