Space Cadets

Granted, but then I`ll get a big fine, and have to sell my telly to pay for it.
God there`s alway someone with a big nose who knows.

Good ideas so far, but everything is better with monkeys. While they sleep, replace one of the crewmembers with a monkey or ape, preferable a chimpanzee. Make sure to dress the chimp exactly like the missing crewmember, and have him discovered in that crewmember's bunk.

Hilarity ensues.

That might not be a good idea. The monkey might actually figure the hoax out.

In fact, it's all a hoax, and instead of being in Russia as they've been told, they are in fact at an old airforce base in Suffolk, England.

Put them in the desert and have the military hunt them down, saying they need to keep up the deception to the public. Capricorn One had something similar.
 
If only they would show some CGI flying saucers over the Earth on that screen of theirs, and show them zapping the cities of the world...
 
I didn't watch this, but I was hoping it was all going to be a huge double bluff: that they fly would fly them outside the stratosphere, from Russia, and then reveal to the audience that it they had been hoaxed.

No?

You've got to admit, the world in my head is better.

I doubt if they would notice, they would probably think he / she had been reading a book or something. The worst thing about this lame brain show is that as a practical joke it fails dismally- practical jokes are supposed to be a quick `ah gotcha!` thing really aren`t they? Taking the piss out of a group of demented exciteable mugs week after week is just boring I think.
Is this what I don`t pay my T.V. licence for?
I`m thinking about not paying it again next year at this rate.
If any of you are T.V. licencing officers, I was just joking then by the way.....

You know it's quite legal not to pay. Just get rid of that silly relic of the 20th century.
 
Actually, if I'm not mistaken you are just paying for the television set, and their detectors (I believe) detect cathode ray tubes. This opens up two obvious solutions:

1. Get a TV card, hook your computer to the wall and enjoy TV on your computer screen.

or, more expensively:

2. Get a flat screen TV of some description, or just get a TV card and a good LCD for your computer which is much cheaper

Oh I`d love to get rid of the telly, but there would be a riot in my house if I did. I dream of taking out into the garden and breaking it into tiny peices with a little lady hammer.
I didn`t have one for years until I met my husband- Just one episode of Emmerdale he said- just one, come on it wont hurt you.
 
Reality is construed through discourse and those in power to distribute the constructions made through discourse. It is those that question who may find the hidden realities, these people in space cadets are not neccesarily stupid but lack the skills or drive to look beyond the reality presented to them. Maybe they felt they had no need to look becuase they are happy with what they have got, materialists. My name is Malooma and I exist here on the internet and in the minds of people. I have no physical form but I do exist. Absolute truth is a tricky area, visit by blog. malooma.blogspot.com
 
Ok serious huh? I would think spam but I can't see any financial gain in promoting a blog.

Heh, malooma... Heh...
 
The comment is a social construction angle, which comes from the Psychological and Sociologic sciences and a development on Post Modernism. Unless you have the necessary language and thus concepts to understand something then it is rendered impossible to understand. Its a process which people such as Noam Chomsky is well aware when deconstructing political discourse. It was a comment on presented truth by those in power, and why the lie worked on the show.

Actually there is much debate about whether TV Detector vans that actually detect things exist or not. In reality they seem to assume that you have a television set, and simply check to see if you have purchased a licence. If not, you will get the letters and eventually the knock on the door that Azrael is so adept at ignoring. If you buy a television (flat screen or no) the vendor is obliged to pass your details on to the licencing authorities so they can add you to their list.
