Okay, I just can't fucking watch that shit. I don't even feel like ranting about anything. i just feel kinda sorry for the people who buy this shit.

Wait.

I bet you think the Nazi Hell Creatures from the Hollow Earth are bullshit, too.

McDonalds, if you think about it, is the PERFECT example of life/lifestyles in the late 20th/early 21st century. Pink slime shaped like chicken nuggets, giant lawsuit-happy corporations suing people for using the prefix "Mc" no matter what the circumstances, marketing aimed at small children (Ronald, etc) to form life-long associations with the product, and the abysmally-effective "I'M LOVING IT" marketing ploy aimed at maintaining that association into the person's adult life...With the advertisement showing skinny, attractive people while in reality the AVERAGE customer is 45 pounds overweight.

All style, no substance almost-food sold to brainwashed masses. It's AMERICA™, in a white paper bag.

Let's just step back and start with one assumption:

"Based on our knowledge of ancient civilization X, they only had ancient basic technology Y. However, they built something that would require technology well beyond Y, based on our understanding of Y."

How does this equal "Aliens"?

Isn't it more likely that either
we don't really understand Y;
that some civilization was around which was way smarter than X;
that they had access to better technology than Y, but sadly the deserts/floods/ice ages/ravages of time/other humans destroyed what evidence there was;

All of those seem like mysterious and sexy things to research and sell ad time for... why the jump to ALIENS?

I was amused by their reaction in the video.  "It was such perfect stonework and now it's fucked!  Aliens probably fucked it!"

It's just hard to believe that no matter how big and precise your stonework is, the earth can and will eat it.

Hey now, let's not start trashing Hollow Earth just because some dipshit claimed the pyramids were made by aliens.

It's somewhat comical to me that everyone here is bashing the Ancient Aliens theory, yet they cannot backup their argument. Which really isn't an argument at all, just puppets shouting "you're stupid" or "you're wrong." So where is your statement that creates any form of doubt about this subject? What are you going to say, that God built the pyramids? Every comment so far has been downright idiotic, plain and simple.

Um. 

Doesn't explain very much, adds more mystery than it removes, and isn't very easily testable.

"Bad hypothesis" defined.

Hi, I study ancient cultures for a living. I know more about ancient architecture and ancient masonry techniques than most of the experts they get on those crappy little shows. I have no need to provide any argument against this lunacy. Thanks for playing.

Do you want a cookie or something? This is exactly what I'm talking about. This statement means absolutley nothing to me and does not provide any useful information on the subject at hand. Am I now to disbelieve in Ancient Aliens because you went to college? ROTFL

There's a funny little statement Charlie Manson used to say, it was true then, and I think it still holds water: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

You carry the burden of proof with such a claim, my little friend, not us.  Go ahead, dazzle me with your proof.

Also, your responses on this page up your Poptart likelihood by 169%.  Just saying. 

Try responding differently when you create these characters once in a while.

YOU ARE ALL DOOMED.

I am have a direct link to the Ancient Alien Lineage. Since you apparently do not appreciate what we have given you then we shall be forced to take it away.

TGRR; welding is so messy with all the sweating and shit. Dumbass.

You want to make a DeathStar? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Like that's never been tried before. Where do you think we get out spare parts? Dumbass.

Listen, we are a race concerned with the environment, THAT'S WHY WE USED STONE.  Dumbass.

Why, oh why, did we ever allow you minute insignificant ants any autonomy?
