Controversial TV Episodes of Popular Shows That Have Been Totally Banned

"Boston" - Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a bit of a weird show, that's for sure. They ended up making an episode that was a parody of a marketing issue that the ATHF team faced. In the marketing for the film, the team made claims that homemade Lite-Brites were actually bombs. Unfortunately, the Boston police thought that it was true, and the entire situation ended up costing $2 million in fines and fees. The parody episode was taken off the air once a terrorist used a homemade bomb in Boston years later.
