This is biggest thing since the Tinky-Winky gay scandal. I'm watching the show now. Thanks to Huge Tiny Mistake for the pic.

My first introduction to ATHF was ayt work where we Authored a few DVDs for cartoon network. Our contact at the network is heavily into the show (her name appears, blacked out, in a memo reproduced on the back of one of the boxed sets - you have to tilt it in the light just the right way to see the name). I told her that Meatwad was my new role model, and she asked me if I could trabsform my body into a hot dog. I refrained from making any "Polish sausage" jokes, or any response at all, on the grounds that I might be immediately terminated.; 7:48 AM

I think that up until this incident this publicity campaign was probably a resounding failure. Three weeks and nobody noticed? And using a character only recognizable to people who are already fans? And no message attached? Maybe this was phase 1, and there was a second phase coming - a "find the Mooninites" game for each city , say, or a "Mooninite Invasion" campaign. But just sticking obscure characters in obscure places doesn't do much to advertise a product.; 8:53 PM
