In January 2007, Cartoon Network launched a guerrilla marketing campaign to promote this film. Dozens of electronic devices with blinking lights were surreptitiously posted in various locations in major US cities. When lit, an image of a Mooninite extending his middle finger appeared. On January 31, several reports of suspicious devices were received by Boston police. Bomb squads and emergency personnel were deployed to the locations causing a major security scare in Boston. The two men who installed the devices around Boston were arrested and charged with felony counts of placing a hoax device to incite panic. Turner Broadcasting, Cartoon Network's parent company and Interference, Inc., the marketing company that created the campaign, reached a settlement with city and state officials to resolve any civil or criminal claims. The companies agreed to pay $1 million dollars to the Boston police department, and $1 million to fund homeland security. Jim Samples, the head of Cartoon Network, resigned his position as a result. The two men who planted the devices were sentenced to community service.
