To the Aliens Watching This PlanetIf you're reading this, just about now would be a good time to land on this rock in full force. Please!
I'm fucking sick of the fact that ten of the eleven minutes of any major news segment on TV (with sports and weather taking up the remaining four) being devoted to the non-news of nothing interesting continuing to happen with respect to the death of the latest leader of the papist sect of one of the major religious cults around here. I mean, this was an 84 year old guy who had been suffering from major illnesses for quite some time, so his death is hardly a suprise and has in fact been foreseeable for days and weeks. Besides, we're talking a man here who presumably never got laid in his whole sorry life but still couldn't stop making a fool of himself by sprouting bullshit in various ill-conceived attempts to advise other people about their sex lives, which should theoretically decrease the respect anyone sane would otherwise have had for him, and with that his general importance.
OK, so he
was the leader of the major sect of that religious cult mistakenly called Christianity which claims around a billion followers, so yes, the odd special perpetuating the various legends surrounding his life is probably in order. But interrupting a perfectly entertaining movie - a reasonably rare event on TV as it is - to bring us the "hot news" of his death followed by a 90 minute special and absolutely no continuation of said movie, then occupying all the major news broadcasts for days with empty, boring tripe about what exactly has been happening in and around the Vatican that day (i.e. mostly nothing) is a tad excessive.
So cut it out and bring on the alien invasion already!
