Sounds like a spectacular waste of money to me.

    I am highly concerned about the diplomatic consequences of broadcasting this sort of garbage to aliens. If they want peace and we are calling them "bloodsucking abducters" then we might be in very hot water.
  • Seriously, what if there is life out there and it has been visiting us. Most likely it can understand some of our languages. Then we get random billy bob bumpkin who thinks it might be funny to send a big **** YOU! to space. Random Chaos has a pretty good point.
  • You're assuming that they can translate our messages and discern the meaning of such etymologically ambiguous terms as the "F-bomb." :p

    Well, I think the idiots who call there deserve to lose their money, but those idiots who keep up this system don't deserve to get that money.
