UFO sightings increase if you watch shows about aliens
Anyone ever watch those late night Alien shows on Discovery channel or some other station? I get the heebeegeebees, especially when I'm by myself. I start to hear things, or worse, even imagine that I'm seeing things.....and believe me, I don't do drugs.....  Anyway, saw this story, made me feel better.

Sightings of unidentified flying objects increase when public interest is aroused by films and television programmes about aliens, newly declassified files indicate.
There was a surge of UFO reports in 1996 when the Hollywood film Independence Day was released and the television series The X Files was growing in popularity.
Ministry of Defence files released by the National Archives show that there were 609 “sightings” in 1996, compared with 117 in 1995. The MoD had its own department to ensure that none of the reported UFOs was a threat to national security.
In one case in 1995, two men told police in Staffordshire that an alien figure with a lemon-shaped head had come out of a spaceship they had seen that was four houses high and hovering over a field, telling them: “We want you. Come with us.” The men gave police a drawing of the craft resembling a flying saucer. The files also contained drawings of other supposed sightings.

Dude, well get paranoid, they are real, seen several of them. Never seen one on the ground but had one fly so close to me, then hover over me, I pooped my pants. The weird thing is they are different sizes. On that hovered over me was tiny about the size of a bird. And my wife was sitting next to me, so it was very real.

But if you run security ads during the local news they sell more alarm systems and burglar bars.

Let us count the ways that people are manipulated by Hollywood. Are certain behaviors made acceptable or more acceptable through portrayals in the movies and television?
Like say,
Inter-Racial Marriage
Working Women
Single Motherhood
Ghetto Culture
Teenage Promiscuity
Black and Women Presidents
Celebrating Multiculturalism
Promoting Diversity
Environmentalism
Is there a conspiracy by most of Hollywood to mold the American mind to accept Leftwing worldviews, goals, morality, and ideology?

Let us count the ways that people are manipulated by Hollywood.
For example going to an indoor movie.
Spending hard earned money for 2 hours of fantasy,
Paying and enjoying 10 times what popcorn is worth,
Making sure you don't need to use the potty, no commercials,
Not talking for 2 hours,
It's not so bad if you don't laugh when everyone else does,
But if you laugh and no one else does,
so there you go, mostly caused by the aliens that run Hulu, softening the brain.
