Mushmouth Mayor's Mooninite Morass

Tom Menino's mouth has been so stretched out from his practice of inserting his foot into it that I think the whole Mushmouth thing may have come about that way. Here's the latest losing effort from America's most embarassing mayor (Gavin Newsom notwithstanding).

Score one for the Mooninites.

The “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” movie behind January’s marketing-stunt-turned-bomb-scare opens in Boston Friday (the 13th, no less) despite Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s plea to local theaters not to screen it “out of respect to the people of Boston.”

No such luck. “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters” opens Friday on two screens: AMC Boston Common and Kendall Square Cinema in Cambridge. Elizabeth Wolfe, vice president of publicity for First Look Pictures, said the film’s distributor had no trouble getting Boston theaters to show it.

As of press time, the mayor’s office had no comment.

Unlike the mayor, his press office knows better. More here from the Boston Herald. Backstory here.
