Description
Submitted for this year's Halloween is my little parody of a once-popular television sci-fi series from the mid-60's that I used to watch as a child. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOLGrX…"The Invaders. Alien beings from a dying planet. Their destination; the Earth. Their purpose; to make it their world. Peter Griffin has seen them. For him, it began one lost night on a lonely country road looking for a shortcut that he never found. It began with a closed, deserted diner and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey. It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy. Now, Peter Griffin knows that the Invaders are here, that they have taken human form. Somehow, he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already begun."

Amen, Brother! Whenever I get asked about whether or not I'm checking out the latest thing or fad, my answer is always "Sorry, this store is closed! Try another market!" Like you, I never watch reality TV shows, or for that matter, TV in general. I prefer to watch movies and cartoons on DVD. In fact, the less time people spend in front of "the Devil's eyeball," the better they would be mentally and emotionally. The one reality show I do admit to watching is "Hell's Kitchen," and only because I like watching Gordon Ramsay when he blows a gasket, n'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk! And as for today's music, phooey! Like you, I'll just stick with my oldies rock 'n roll, my polkas and my easy listening music. And if the crowd that digs Nikki Minaj or Taylor Swift don't like it, then they can all go and lock lips with a mutant walrus!

The only reality show I ever got a kick out of, and I haven't been able to track it down, is where a group of Americans were sent to Japan to make a science fiction movie. The whole thing was a farce, although they ended up getting some prize money out of the whole deal. The whole part of it that really got me laughing was a Japanese show host, an American woman, who interviewed them on her show about the movie. "Tell me about the code you guys are tracking down in the movie," she asked them. She then looked at camera and told her audience in Japanese, "The code is horseshit! The code is total horseshit!" I couldn't help but be amused.

This Japanese game show you described sounds to me like a cynical move on the part of the Japanese TV producers to make Americans look foolish . . .sort of a way to get back at us for clobbering them in WWII.

No, I think it was some Americans that set this prank up...the Japanese only helped. The American gal with the program over there is wild; it's sort of like Conan O' Brien, but just about anything can happen.

Perhaps. But I still don't approve of anything that tries to make us look ridiculous, especially when it's televised in a foreign country. We've got plenty of Hollywood nabobs like Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee and Michael Moore who like to make movies that embarrass Americans. BTW, I saw one episode of the series "Punked," that was hosted by Ashton Kutcher and once was enough! I hate practical jokes and practical jokers.

The only person that really pissed me off in that regard was Howard Stern, who I view as a vulgar pimp who really tries to hurt people with his humor. I used to watch his show until he really hurt Marsha Mason's feelings at a celebrity baseball game; he had a "reporter" by the name of Stuttering John ask her some terrible questions, like how Neil Simon was in bed. One of the guys with her reminded him that this was a charity baseball game, and told him to buzz off. I never watched that jerk's show after that. There's really no reason to hurt others with humor, and I try my best not to with my art (despot leaders like Kim Il jong excluded, of course).

When it comes to Howard Stern, you and I are definitely on the same page. He's a nasty, rotten, perverted, hateful anti-Christ who's managed to offend the entire country and who has been fined more times by the FCC then I can remember. Stern is in the same category with another, equally repulsive radio pimp, Don Imus, the coke-head of the airwaves. Shock jocks like them are the kind of a-holes that guys on my high school wrestling and football teams used to give wedgies and swirlies to. Like you, and I'm sure you've seen it enough times, I like to use my art to amuse and provoke laughter, never to insult or hurt, except public figures like Michael Moore, who is to me what Kim Jong Un is to you; a nice, fat, juicy target.

I can take just about any filthy joke, but to hurt someone with your humor is going too far. It's different when the person can get a laugh out of the joke. Don Rickles can get stupid like that at times.

Don Rickles made a career out of comedic insults, but not hurtful insults which is why I liked his brand of humor. And unlike freaks like Howard Stern, Rickles had style and class in that he knew when not to push the insult barrier. In the Army I've heard my share of locker room jokes and potty humor, but I don't like seeing it onstage and especially in cartoons which is why I haven't followed "Family Guy" recently, nor have I seen any of MacFarlane's "Ted" movies.

I've had no interest in the Ted movies whatsoever; they just didn't grab my attention.

It's just as well. From what I've learned, those two films were just plain gross.

Thought it was another kind of ship...

No, this was the original space ship as seen in the original TV series. Thank you for your comment. Happy Halloween.
