I once had an encounter with aliens that was both brief and mysterious...

...It beings like this...

"A large bright light enveloped my tiny back yard where i spent my childhood, and after a moment there emerged 2 little green men with a large light bulb heads and solid black eyes."

 Their friendly demeanor cannot hide their impromptu invasion into my childhood, but...

"They probably could have chosen a better target if they wanted to annihilate the human race"

 I'd probably be as done as this target, their superior technology could make quick work out of me if they so pleased.

"Halt Earthling, we have come in peace...We simply wanted to ask you about the country of America"

"Why would you ask me?"

"We selected you out of the more than 300 million Americans... randomly"

Certainly they could have chosen the president or some other person more important and smarter than me, not just pick me out like as if I were a random number...

These aliens are idiots

"...If you had to describe America in one word what would it be?"

"America is Cynical"

"America has to be the leader in the world when it has a terrible education and healthcare systems... We also have the largest carbon footprint per capita of any nation"

  America has a lot of problems but it also has a lot of freedoms and liberties as well...

"The Colbert report satirizes the political right in calling attention to the ridiculousness of politics and everyday events"

 The man has the deepest persona, that simply astounds me whenever he does his show. He manages to both offend and humor me at the same time.

"...The Simpsons... is one of the longest running series on television and is quite popular here"

  This show pokes fun at nearly everything with a darker sense of humor that fits today's image of America. The changes that the show has over gone are interesting to say the least, but the voice actors have been the same for a very long time.

"Adventure time...the ridiculousness of the setting and characters speaks for itself it does not capture the cynical spirit as well as the other two"

 This is one of the new generation of cartoon shows for kids and the characters face dilemmas that are solved through warped logic that is presented with comedic effect.

"That's enough... we don;t need such a negative view of America"

Without another word they lifted off...

"Hmm I should probably watch some TV"

  I still don't know why the aliens visited me, but at least they didn't destroy the Earth...
