Dang, even moving out of the solar system won't keep advertisers from bombarding sentient beings with commercials.
I can see it now, aliens will land here and say, "Take us to your Doritos." |

Mmmmm... space Doritos and moon beer.

It's kind of sad that the first thing we want to transmit to another potentially intelligent race is a commercial. On the other hand, I guess a Doritos commercial is better than sending a paid political announcement. The former may confuse them, but the latter would probably tell them much more than we want them to know about our level of "intelligence".
What's next, Jerry Springer? |

Won't be long now before we will have beings dropping-in from other worlds, sitting next to us in places like TacoBell, McDonalds, etc.

This advertisement is nowhere near the first thing we've trasmitted to another potentially intelligent race. Here's some reading for you about "the first thing": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_R... |

It will take 40 years for the message to get there. In 40 years who is going to remember what a Dorito was?

Some have called it a menu... Quick, let's bury some with a package of Twinkies. The preservatives should keep them edible for that long. Could interstellar war be fostered by stale Doritos? How about by their complete absence? Remember Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home? |
