Say the aliens reveal themselves one day, and cause lots of commotion/media attention. They display their advanced power and technology to the fear and awe of humankind.

The next morning, some of them go to you, and offer you the position of leader of Earth. If you accept, they hold a press conference later that night, and announce you as their new appointed leader of Earth. They call upon you to speak at the press conference to say whatever you want humankind's new leader.

What would you talk about?

I've done this a few times in front of a mirror just speaking off of the top of my head as if I was talking to the peopel of Earth.
I asked my friend this same question last night, and he had some pretty kewl things to say between his wise cracks.

I'd talk about the lost opportunity to talk about something other than all the nukes already kinetically heading their way because they didn't respect our tradition of Elections.

Were these aliens legal or undocumented?

I wouldn't have much to say at all... I am losing grip with reality :eek:

I would probably just piss myself and tell them Earth sucks.

The first thing would be about the new defense against other alien forces that could try and ruling my newly appointed nebula.

Second would be about me and the earths representation of both colored and non colored citizens

and third would be Peace

There are non-colored people? :eek:

With a background in business management, it is commonly known that the best leaders are those that emerge who never really wanted to be one. They are the ones best able to decide rationally, without a domineering tone, what should or needs to be done.

However, in your scenario, all you are saying is that they "cause lots of commotion." This is no big thing as humans do this all the time. There is nothing to address?

What would you talk about?
i would show them the film "indepenence day" and give a big speech about duty and honor.

They display their advanced power and technology to the fear and awe of humankind.

I can't envision more of the same, I mean, a press conference? Televised? Commercials?

Think CTM, Collective Telepathic Manipulation, and an invisible sensuous Borg Queen.

I talk about how im resigning from that position. Taking on a challenge is one thing, being suicidal is another.

Ah -- but if you were prone to burn-outs, you'd hardly be considered for the job.

'Hear ye all bankers, attorneys, and corporate cretins: you can run, but you cannot hide. Say your prayers.'

I would talk about the Aliens.

Would certainly not want to upset them.

Fellow citizens, as leader of good old Earth I demand that alcohol should be readily available in times of emergencies. The Church should be taxed and beer companies should operate tax-free. Women should be treated equally as men but not chivalrously for chrisakes. Children should be separated from their parents and given to the state at age 14 as this induces independent thinking. Comedians should be given special privileges and politicians should be burned alive as quickly as possible. Anybody who complains about me is getting a long rod stuck into his ass and will be shown on pay-per-view weekends. I am not joking with you guys and not asking for much, I only ask a civil society where people go as they please but confined to my rules and regulations. Mannequins should be replaced by certified phycopaths and displayed on department store windows. Thanks

Gotta start out with a couple of good jokes like, "Why are aliens small?" "Because they're from so far away!" Stuff like that just to soften them up, see where they stand. If they laugh politely and then zap/liquify you like in "Mars Attacks," we're in trouble.

"We'll start off by slaughtering gays and the thug brothas."

That would make me a popular leader.

My Fellow Brother and Sisters of this green planet

We have been humbled by our guest at the same time they have united us. I would like you all to take a one last look at all the organized religious places and realize that these bastards were the reason for our defeat ..we could have been self sufficient and highly advanced like our guests ( aliens ) but we were too busy killing for the sake of relgion, sexual preferences, color, culture and natural resources.

I would like you all to tear down the borders ...and become one planet ..and stop offering power to people like me and be their own spiritual leaders ...borders do not protect they create animosity ...unfortunately we learn this today when our planet's border was breached...

Lastly ..but not the least ..I will retire to my humble abode up in the Penthouse of Bellagio( Las Vegas) and call upon all the big breasted beautiful women to comfort me -as their leader needs to CUM to terms with this awesome responsibility.

Peace

i would show them the film "indepenence day" and give a big speech about duty and honor.
thats a good one,
kill all of them from boredom

I believe if the aliens had as much intelligence as you credit them with, they would not, under any conditions, reveal themselves.

That is because you are not as intelligent as they are.
They did reveal themselves, and they have chosen you to be the leader of the earth.
