Here's a press release I[Mark Frauenfelder] received from the office of Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley. She insists on called the ATHF signs "hoax devices." I assume that's because the case against the two young men who placed the signs around Boston depends on convincing the court that the two defendants were perpetrating a hoax. Of course, they didn't perpetrate a hoax because they didn't do anything deceitful.

Thanks, Matte!
In my overenthusiasm to bring the ongoing Mooninite story to the public, I neglected to mention that AHTF stands for "Aqua-Teen Hunger Force", the cartoon that the guerilla marketing campaign was promoting in the first place.
