Peter Berdovsky (aka Zebbler or that Dude With the Huge Dreadlocks) sent out an electronic postcard reminding us of the day the city of Boston was felled by an ill-conceived promotional stunt for the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" movie. Berdovsky and his accomplice-of-sorts, Sean Stevens, appear to have moved on with their lives, but, as shown in the image above, they still can't resist that little electronic critter who gives everyone the finger. Berdovsky in......

Peter Berdovsky--VJ, artist, and one of the men behind last year's "Mooninite Menace"--and the city of Boston better learn to live with each other because Berdovsky isn't going away anytime soon. The AP interviewed Berdovsky about his post-Aqua Teen life, which Bostonist has covered before. Berdovsky has been working steadily as an artist and was voted a top "VJ" in his chosen art medium. He certainly hasn't been shunned by the art community. However, as......

We wondered what happened to Peter Berdovsky and Sean Stevens from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force incident. Berdovsky, also known as "Zebbler," has made lemonade out of the experience. After the Cartoon Network and viral-marketing company Interference, Inc., hung him and Sean Stevens out to dry, Berdovsky made a comeback and has been named one of the top 20 VJs in the world by DJ Magazine. No doubt a little ATHF publicity helped to......

After the swift response to MIT student Star Simpson's infamous arrival at Logan Airport, the united front of law enforcement against the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and the mailing of empty pill boxes to residents, imagine our surprise upon hearing that Massachusetts would be unprepared in the event of a terror attack. Boston proves that just because you're easily frightened doesn't mean you can protect yourself if something really bad happened. Governor Deval Patrick's team......

--Sean Stevens and Peter Berdvosky can breathe a sigh of relief now that they are officially off the blotter with a slap on the wrist. The artists who were hired by the Cartoon Network and Interference, Inc., to hang the Mooninites throughout Boston will do community service. Instead of offering the public another '70s hair comedy routine, the two had more substantial things to say this time around. The Herald quoted Stevens as saying, "I......

We recently received e-mails proudly announcing the impending arrival of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters on April 13. Even if you didn't notice the - ahem - little problem promotions for the ATHF movie caused in Boston, and even if you've never heard of ATHF, the movie sounds like fun, and the full-length cartoon features the voices of Bruce Campbell and Neil Peart of Rush. But, in our rush to......

Do they have to keep picking on us? Wired published a story today about new wave advertising. The lead paragraph made mention of the January 31 boondoggle by the Boston Police"These types of marketing tactics will not and should not be tolerated," vowed Boston Mayor Thomas Menino after the now-infamous blinking LED ads for the Cartoon Network's Aqua Teen Hunger Force were discovered on bridges and underpasses, leading to a bomb scare that shut down......

Botched in Boston seems on the fast track to a new defining statement of our city. Kerry started it with his botched joke that got tremendous play nationally. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force bomb scare brought it back as a botched marketing campaign, or at least a botched reaction to a marketing campaign. Dr Pepper has now ended their Hunt for More promotion – labeling it botched – and revealed the location of a......

Just wondering. Someone had to fall on the sword, and Mayor Tom Menino sure did seem happy when the head of Cartoon Network, Jim Samples, took the plunge and resigned from his post after the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Incident. Mayor Menino told the Globe, "Somebody had to pay…. He's the one who made all the decisions, and he didn't do anything to react to the concerns. The resignation should really serve as a message......

Turns out the circuit-board devices that have steamed the governor, the mayor, and the commish are the result of a boneheaded marketing move on the part of Turner Broadcasting. The rumors were bubbling that the circuit boards were imprinted with the image of a character from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Only it's not some clever lone hypester trying to promo the movie. In a statement, Turner Broadcasting is apologizing to the city of Boston......

In a world where there's nothing to do but watch movies. In a city full of theaters, museums, and libraries. One moviegoer who can be in three places at once. Opening Friday 6/9 Clean Maggie Cheung, still inexplicably less popular than Ziyi Zhang in this country, kicks her drug habit in Paris.

We live in an iTunes nation. It's easy to pull a track down to your pod for under a buck. Bostonist still longs for cover art, liner notes, and that masterwork that is a multi-track collection of songs we call an album. Listed here is our much discussed, unbiased by payola, top 25 albums of 2005. After the jump you'll find where some of us stand individually on the subject of the years best. (Apparently......
