We Are Not Alone in the Universe
Ladies and gentlemen, we are not alone. There is other intelligent life in the universe.SETI has been telling us this for years, but they've been looking in all the wrong places to find that intelligent life. Instead of looking outward, past the edge of our solar system with their high powered telescopes, they should have been looking much closer to home.
Right here on planet earth.
We are not alone.
Right here on planet earth there is a race of creatures which, until this week, was completely unknown to us. They are mostrously huge creatures, and by all accounts, they are as intelligent as we are.
They have a secret technology by which they can spy on everything we do.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are not safe from their prying eyes anywhere. When we go to the grocery store, they watch us. When we are at school, on the job, in what we used to call the privacy of our own homes, they watch us.
Every word we say, every action we take, they see it. And they laugh.
Their secret technology provides each one of them with a big box called a TV, which is a gateway into our towns, our cities, and our homes.
Actually, now that I think about it, they can't be all that intelligent, considering they spend their time watching us live our lives, instead of living their own.
What a waste.
