Japan goes digital after turning off analogue TV

Government hacks of all stripes will tell the Japanese public that this is done to give more 'bandwidth' to cell fone companies. Don't believe it! We are not alone in the universe and governments all over the world know it! That is why major shopping centers all over the world are lit in yellow light that looks like the primitive firelight of pre-industrial societies when the planet is viewed from space....or volcanoes. And that is why powerful analog signals are now being banned.. And that is why a powerful radio telescope is secretly being built on a mountaintop in Mexico that is designed to listen with great sensitivity to a particular location in deep space. We know E.T. is out there, and from our actions the 'old men and military commanders' of this world know he is no teddy bear like 'E.T.'! They are afraid of him!! Our signals have been going out at the speed of light for a hundred hears. Someone nearby has warned us against someone else ...'further out'!

Although I'd agree that ETs are out there, their contact with us would most likely not be affected by lights from shopping centres and analog signals.

If they are here to observe us, I'd think they'd be wayyyyyyyyyyy past analog signals and light speed limitations.

When in doubt I call upon Star Trek :P, their prime directive prohibits them from interfering with our "naturual" destruction unless we are going to annihilate ourselves tomorrow.

I'd wager they'd completely ignore us until as a planet we acknowledge their possible existance or we are about to blow ourselves up. At least that's what I'm hoping, the alternative is just shit, aka that magical flying teapot around Saturn.
