what made you smile/laugh today

Going through the March ‘09 issue of Q, I stumbled across this little gem. The Chairman of UFO studies in London shares his opinion on the single “Spaceman”.

  “The lyrics don’t do credit to what happens to supposed abductees. I’ve spoken to plenty of them under hypnosis to find out about their experiences, and this song is a load of codswallop. [Brandon Flowers] must be a complete fool or a complete nutcase – he hasn’t done his research.

  “There’s the line, ‘They ripped me from my bed’, but they can take a person at any time, and will usually dump them back in the garden or another room in their house. I even know people who’ve been taken from their cars and then put back in another car, but I’ve never heard of people being put back in their beds.

   “The business about cutting people up and taking blood is rubbish, too – it’s never been mentioned in the 200-plus abduction cases I’ve dealt with. The closet thing I’ve heard was an abductee who was put on what can best be described as an operating theatre table and had a needle inserted in the navel, but that was for the extraction of eggs from the ovaries. We believe that they’re creating a hybrid race, because it’s common for them to extract sperm from men, too.

   “The bits where ‘the spaceman’ speaks to him are rubbish. People don’t hear voices – the aliens just appear before them. A lot of people don’t want to talk about abduction because they’re scared of being ridiculed, and songs like this don’t help. I’ve seen enough evidence to know that there’s truth behind stories of alien abduction, but not as it’s reported in this stupid song.”

….who says they weren’t extracting Brandon’s ovaries???!
