I always find it interesting how aliens are usually portrayed in popular culture as terrifyingly disgusting looking creatures. Than on the other end of the spectrum, especially in the New Ager movement, you hear representations of ETs as angelic or light beings. I find the scale of representation interesting how on one hand, ETs represent the fear and the unknown that we as humans feel towards the grand universe that is 'out there'. On the other hand, the angelic representations seem to speak to the hope, peace and beauty we seek as humans and know that must exist 'somewhere', if not here.

Our collective consciousness assumes that the universe is so dark and unknown that there must be some drooling creature out there that wants to eat us, and at the same time the universe is so old and unknowable that there must be ageless civilizations that long ago attained what we cannot, and have transcended materiality and evil.

Nonetheless, I thought the commercial was pretty funny.

My grandma had one of those creepy damn things. I didn't like being in the room with it alone when I was a kid.
