Turner was promoting Adult Swim's animated television show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" in Boston and nine other cities, according to a statement e-mailed by Shirley Powell, a company spokeswoman.

"Parent company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards," the state an e-mail statement said. "We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger."

Every Wednesday we run down the 5 most interesting comics and graphic novels that come out this week. These are the 5 books I'd be buying myself if my wife still actually let me buy comic books (I told her I was sorry!)

- Almost Super Bowl time. Time to check in with John Madden to get a crystal clear perspective on things.
- Check out ZeFrank's description of the Scooter Libby trial. I love this podcast more and more each day.
- Remeber the picture a day from three years girl? Try spanning 85 years in 40 seconds. It's kinda depressing.
- And what's more surprising? Chuck Norris sitting in for Hannity, or the fact that he had some liberal views.
