Maybe they should make their announcements during American Idol or publish a book, instead of making some drawings in crops for which each person has his/her own interpretation.

Read a book. Get off the couch, and turn off American Idol.

It's not a copy, at most it may have been inspired by that image, but it's obviously not a copy.

I've already explained that it is a copy of a 1930s LIFE cover and someone explained that its creation was paid for.
It's a man, not a woman, it has four arms instead of two and the butterfly is not of the same species, so, unless they are very bad at making copies, that cannot be realistically considered a copy by anyone.

Wow! That is one big "crop-circle"!
About whether or not it is fake, I believe that all crop-circles are manmade. There is no reasonable explanation why a far more civilized alien species would create anything such worthless as crop-circles to communicate.
Just my two cents..
If you remember that the butterfly stage is the last, just before the insect's death, you will understand why I don't see any hope in that.

Hopefully this crop circle is symbolism for mankind moving from the Caterpillar stage to the beautiful Butterfly stage in a few years. Perhaps its a message of keeping hope.

First, a human mind is hundreds to thousands of years less developed than the intellect an Alien possesses.
Then they are not that intelligent, we know how to communicate with apes or even with less intelligent animals like dogs, cats, horses, etc., so if they are so advanced they should be able to do it.
It's like the comparison that we Humans to Apes and Aliens to Humans. There's an intellectual barrier. Perhaps Alien's are not properly deciphering our and playing us out for a lower level of intellect than we truly contain, so they give us pictures, thinking that perhaps this is enough to communicate with us.
Then this represents an epic failure, because each person has his/her own interpretation of the "message", and it should not be ambiguous.
Secondly, we really don't know what the political system, if any, exists beyond our planet. It could be a section of Alien's that are not part of those that communicate with our government, and they are trying to supply information that isn't supposed to be given out, and they are doing so in the best way they can for our comprehension.
