First Contact Revisited

 Cartoon with aliens in spaceships and humans standing in a group: “Attention human in habitants of what you call Earth, We have watched you for millennia and are so now so deeply disappointed to the point we have given up on you ever becoming contributing members of the universe. This short visit will be our last. Your arrogance is annoying and your stupidity overwhelming. You think you are so smart but yet you let ignorance, superstition, and imaginary deities rule your judgement. The lack of compassion for your fellow inhabitants is utterly depressing. For ages and ages you have killed millions of other humans just because they are different or don’t agree with your particular philosophy. And you continue to squander your small planet’s limited resources while destroying the natural beauty of its flora, fauna, and geography with no regard for future inhabitants. should you ever evolve to become peaceful, intelligent beings before you destroy your world we might welcome you back into our cosmic family. Sincerely, The Aliens. P.S. We never probed your butts.”  One male figure is saying, “It’s a government conspiracy!”  Another is saying, “Damn ugly foreigners!”  Another is saying, “Kill em!”  Another is saying, “I wonder is the TV gets sports?” A women character is saying, “World is ending!!”  Another male figure is saying, “Did too probe my butt!” Copyright Mark A.

This cartoon seems more relevant than ever, so I thought I'd repost it.
