Calling ET

Iwas reading yesterday that ""boffins"" had beamed a television transmission to the (relatively) nearby 42 Ursae Majoris system;its one that they think they have detected what may be planets in its orbit ,but the transmission they have chosen is an advert for Doritos-what kinds of extra terrestials are we trying to attract???!!

Doritos had an advert made by two 25 year olds for a record cheap cost of £6.50. This is a gimmick to make us eat more tortilla crisps.

It is owned by Pepsi, who are happy to pump millions into space to sell the crisps to aliens (as if ET would like the taste!). This is another gimmick to make us eat more tortilla crisps!

But one day it could all go horribly wrong. Suppose aliens, already fed up with listening to Beatles music, decide to land here. Logic dictates that they will exterminate every packet of tortilla crisps on the planet!

How could aliens possibly tire of listening to the Beatles Twizz ??!-probably right about Doritos though,they probably paid for that little project-its a shame that the scientists involved didnt have the cojones to tell them where to stick their grubby commercialism!

oh,and hello to our""terrestial"" ET !!-""they"" want you to phone home !

It's proabaly all a ploy by the scientists.

You see, they have all seen the movies, and although we always win through (War of the Worlds and all that stuff), they are probably secretly scared that, one day, we won't win. By promoting Doritos in space, they are hoping that will keep aliens away from wanting to invade earth.

Getting tired of the Beatles could also be an understandable reaction. Take ""Lucy in the sky wih diamonds"" - If all you ever hear is your 2-headed wife, with 3 ears on each head, going on and on all day about wanting yet more earrings...I am sure you can see where I am going with this. Yep - all the husband aliens get so fed up with the nagging for the diamonds that they just cannot stomach (even though they have 3 of those) the thought of going to the planet that originated the song.

Not only that, but if they are all called ET, they would probably be gnawed off their heads keep listening to Eleanor Trigby all day long. Their kids think it's funny, but enough is enough. Off they then go to another planet. Earth is saved. Doritos get a national monument named after them and the Beatles are broadcast to the entire universe 23 1/4 hours every day for ever more. (The other 3/4 hour each day is spent promoting Liverpool - Galactic Capital of Culture 2098.)
