Has it really been a whole year since a bunch of blinking LEDs doubling as a viral-marketing ad for Cartoon Network were mistaken for explosives, leading to a public panic in Boston?

Indeed. Make Blog is reporting that, in the spirit of the original kerfluffle, several newly fashioned flickering LED displays have been sighted all over the Boston area -- only this time, instead of Aqua Teen Hunger Force's lovable Mooninite Ignignokt, the characters causing controversy resemble President Bush (Bushinite!), Osama bin Laden (Osamabinladenite!) and other political figures.

Peter Berdovsky, one of the creators of the first wave of alarming commercial art, is celebrating the one-year anniversary of the media circus, according to Bostonist. But so far nobody's claiming credit for this year's mutant Mooninites.

Eager to join in the festivities? Make explains how to create your own LED art using a kit from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories.
