Bummer! The outer space bureaucracy is not happening. Over the weekend the Brits invented the story about the United Nations appointing an ambassador in charge of extraterrestrial contacts.
The most amazing part of the story was the speed with which the false rumor spread through many serious news outlets.
Apparently the opinion of the media about the UN is so low that the appointment of an ET Ambassador seemed realistic.
Newscasters all over the globe believed that Ban Ki-moon is totally capable of going intergalactic.
After all it is likely that the UN will meet an alien before the Middle East Peace is achieved.
Plus, everybody knows that if you are seeking intelligent life, the United Nations is the last place to look.
There was no ‘Is this a joke?’ reaction. The news proceeded with ‘Guess what they did in the UN now!’
The Earth population is so used to pay for all the nonsense coming out of the UN bureaucracy that nobody asked: who is funding the UN Martian office?
Does anybody in the world take the UN seriously anymore?
