I was just wondering if anyone thinks that Aliens, ET's, or whatever you want to call them...can someday probably receive our movies that we make about aliens. I dont think they would like them if they understood them, we often times kill and blow them up. Maybe it will make them feel inclined to do what we make them do in the movies...try to destroy us and take over our world. DOH!

I've often wondered this myself, especially when they get a look at some of our more colourful science-fiction shows. However, I've come to the conclusion that they probably won't try to take us out based on those, simply because they know darn well that they're going to be set upon by a fleet of X-wings, Vipers and Starfuries.

A long time from now in a galaxy far, far away... they'll probably make some popcorn and gather the whole family around their viewscreen to watch "Plan 9 from outer space"... Fresh from earth! :)

We know exactly what will happen when aliens receive our television broadcasts... they will mistake them for historical documents :-)

Yeah, it'll probably make top "Turkey of the Galaxy".

At least we're not sending them back unpleasant parts of their own history.

Hopefully they will watch something like this , this , or this... maybe even "The Lion King"

I'd be curious to know what they thought after watching this , this , this , or even this.

Hopefully they have seen a better side of the "human species", realize that we are not all so "destructive", and communicate more than "probing." ;-) he he he

.o0(wow, if they have the internet too, hopefully they won't go here.

You know why all those grey aliens you see pictures of are bald?

It's because they're going nuts scratching their heads watching our broadcasts....

If they invade we will all be institutionalized....

I'm sitting here sort of watching/listening to the tv and "Roxanne" is on. When he's talking to the elderly women about aliens and sex I can't help but laugh :-)
