In the same vein as “Zombies Attack America” I bring you: Lights, Camera...Cue the Alien Invasion

I have decided Hollywood and the movie industry is actually a ploy developed by aliens or zombie-creating biological terrorists aimed at causing us to view any spectacular videos we watch with a “Man, those are some good special effects” mentality. Think about it, if you were a see a high quality video or even a few videos claiming to be authentic, which were about an alien invasion going on or a zombie apocalypse happening, wouldn't your first thought be, “What movie is this from?” or “Wow! Those special effects are amazing!” Even if the video was submitted by someone you knew or was on the News, wouldn't your first inclination be skepticism instead of belief?

In this day and age, when even most cell phones have good video quality, you would think some UFO videos and Bigfoot sightings would be clearer and of better video quality. I think why this isn't the case is because we find the grainy footage more intriguing and, perhaps, more believable. If it was an excellent video of either thing, we would think of Bigfoot, “That is a great costume” and of the UFO, “I wonder how much money and CGI it took to make it look that real.”

So when I post a video of the Alien Invasion or the Zombie Apocalypse you better believe it. I have a pretty crappy camera, so maybe you'll be more likely to believe.

On another note, while on the topic of aliens. Around Halloween the thought occurred to me that American Halloween (I'm unsure any other parts of the world dress up as much as we do) was initiated by aliens so one night a year they can add a few cheap additions to their anatomy (to make them not quite so awesome or believable) and have free reign to study us in close proximity in our natural habitats. Aliens, if you are reading this, do not judge us by that one night. When we humans don masked we feel freer to be idiots, jerks, and are more apt to break the law.
