Subject: Re: UPN 'Abduction' video

Hi All,

Well the promos are out for the UPN special about the videotape
of an (alleged) abduction that took place in Canada this past
"Thanksgiving." Apparently some 'Canadians' take American culture
too seriously and celebrate "Thanksgiving" along with the rest of
us yanks. I figure it's an insidious plot by the American Turkey
Growers Association to eventually take over the world!

Sorry, I digress.

From the few clips I got to see during the promo I'm -real glad-
I didn't participate! Make up your own minds. It's skeded to air
on January 20th on the UPN network. (Check your local listings
for time)

I plan to pop some of Orville's corn for the occasion.
It looks to be interesting though, there are screaming teenage
girls, family members running every which way in expected
pandemonium and hysteria, plus some guy (Dad?) screaming and
waving a shotgun around in a room full of freaked out family
members!

(Which isn't a bad idea! At the next family gathering you can
claim that you thought your mother-in-law was an alien trying to
probe your rectum so you blew the old-biddy's face off with
"Betsy" -your trusty old 12 guage- in self defense! <G>)

There's also a quick clip of the kid that made the video showing
him sitting in front of the camera tearfully reporting to his
future audience, (how thoughtful of him to have considered -us-
as his family is being kidnapped by aliens!) that he doesn't
think they are going to make it! I tend to agree, only for a
different set of reasons.

I'm a huge MST3K fan, this one looks like a good candidate for
the boys at DEEP13! It wouldn't be as good as say the, "Creepy
Girl" episode but it shows the potential to come darn close. If
they ever turn this into a movie they ought to get Earl
Holloman to play the father! <G>

After I refused to appear they called me back and they asked if
they could use some of my art and a copy of the IF website
Homepage, and at $100. bucks a pop I gleefully agreed!
So you'll be seeing some of my art in the background. I don't
feel 'guilty' about taking $ for my own artwork I just won't
allow them to present me as any kind of "alien expert"! I'm a
graphic artist by trade and I've been getting paid for that for
almost twenty years so I see no conflict of interest.

So much moola-boola being spread about while "good" research guys
end up scratching around to support their full time "hobby!" What
an injustice.
