    Press conference footage in which the suspects in the 2007 Boston Mooninite bomb scare answer questions about 1960s and 1970s hairstyles.

    HN uses it as a joke about the absurdity of the Mooninite panic, and one commenter who attended shared it.

      Here is a video of the press conference. I'm the one on the left. I think given everything we held it together pretty well. this video

      hah. the best press conference of all time was held by the marketing guys after they were "caught". they refused to answer questions about anything other than their hair, and i remember some witty reporter asking them what theyd do about their hair if they went to jail. caught them off guard, hah. edit - here it is, beautiful this video

      Of course, the best part about that Aqua Teen "bomb scare" was how the guys that were charged for putting up blinking LEDs (and their lawyer) handled the press: "That's not a hair question". this video
