An observation:

Wandered into the local shop at the weekend to purchase wine. Seem to be doing this rather too frequently at the moment but that is another story entirely and one I don't particularly want to travel down at the moment. So there I was standing in line, bottle in hand, gazing around at all the consumerables that I had no desire to ever purchase, when I saw on the counter a box of sweet sugary confectionary stuff in green packets. The packets were labelled 'alien bones' or some such alien title and were obviously aimed at children. Ok, nothing unusual about that but I did notice on the side of the box the words..... '100% authentic'...... hmmmmmmmmmmm ! Now this can surely only mean one thing- that the contents of the packets did actually contain bits of aliens. What else does 100% authentic mean? So, somewhere aliens have landed and are being killed and then cut up and fed to our children?????? and we protest about GM products in the supermarkets! hmmmmmmmm!
