“Today Doritos makes history, taking the UK’s first step in communicating with aliens as they broadcast the first ever advert directed towards potential extra terrestrial life. The University of Leicester has played a key part in the success of the project.”

The hell? You find out Blobrana might be a woman and you decide it's time to start pm'ing him/her? Creepy.
As to "ufo's", it's ridiculous to think that life could only start in one planet in all the universe. Of course there's life out there.

yeah well I am a believer myself. I just approach believers of UFO with disbelief first to test what their reaction.

“The signal is directed at a solar system just 42 light years away from Earth, in the ‘Ursa Major’ or Great Bear Constellation. Its star is very similar to our Sun and hosts a habitable zone that could harbour small life supporting planets similar to ours.”I do hate it when they do that! Which solar system? It does make a difference to some of us.
From the distance of 42 light years it appears to be 36 Ursae Majoris. Strangely this information is not given in any of the articles on the 'net that I can find.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/36_Ursae_Majoris
This is a star somewhat larger than the Sun, with no confirmed planets; a bit of a strange choice.
At 46 light years another system can be found in that general direction, 47 Ursae Majoris, with two confirmed planets and towards which two messages have already been sent.

I wonder if they have sent it to the wrong system
What a dipshit idea. Like anyone's going to travel that long for corn chips with powdered cheese.

Hum,
perhaps for human flesh though.

36 Ursae Majoris is 42 light years away; if they receive the message, and set off in search of Doritos, it will be a minimum of 84 years before they arrive on Earth. By which time the Dorito company may have gone out of business, or discontinued the product. They'll arrive here and say "We have travelled far in search of salty, crispy snacks. Where are all the Doritos?" and proceed to lay waste to the Earth in frustration.
Oh, that sounds familiar...

Draqon has absolutely no control over his sex drive.

Human flesh fattened on yummy Doritos brand corn chips.
Of course, the advertisment had better state strongly that the Doritos will last long enough to keep humans fat during the trip here. Nothing worse than getting to the store after seeing an ad for a sale on Doritos (or Doritos fattened humans) and finding them all sold out.

I hope he really didn't try pm'ing her. And, if he did, I hope she (assuming she is a she) didn't encourage him.
