Oh and to clue you guys in on the Star and Flag issue with this thread that you seem to have some personal issues with(why is that?), These stars and flags where most probably given because of the entertainment value, and the effort to weave such an intricate story about some recent facts and make it interesting. Not because people believed it to be true!

Who would say that about his own thread if he was sincere about it?
At this point there is no doubt in my mind that you are playing a game here.
Wow.

Amazing that threads like this (with purposely sensationalized titles (according to the OP himself)) garner the attention they do, while threads about real dangers or interesting topics languish.

You fail to account for a very important factor. The "What people want!" factor.
And if this is what people want, this means they want an alien invasion right?
What does that say about the current state of affairs, and your employers?

Of course they don't. What they want is a soap opera. What they want is fiction. What they want is to be a PART of fiction.

If aliens really did invade, you'd be the first to poop their pants and say "Just kidding!!".
The truth is, a whole lot of people are bored, boring, and ignorant. So they turn to such things as aliens, elves, light beings, yadda yadda to try to bring meaning into their otherwise mundane lives.
Which is really a shame. Because our universe is perfectly fantastic and marvelous all on its own, without the need of such drivel.
