Who Should Speak For Earth?

[WaysideMaze]

Another vote for Stephen Fry. Show the aliens the best of us.

 

[repeating integers]

Bono!

Alright, alright, sorry.

Actual real answer: No one person. A council of the best. None of them should be politicians.

 

[mrjoe94]

I vote Brian Blessed, he could become the mascot of Earth and it will be glorious.

 

[AnarchistFish]

Nasa or something. Governments, the UN, the EU, would fuck it up.

 

[WaReloaded]

I feel as though maybe two (or more) people should speak on behalf of Earth. We've far too many cultures to be represented by only one person. Having said that, my vote would probably go to the 14th Dalai Lama. I'd rather a spokesman of peace represent us, that's assuming that the alien race won't view our species as weak and attack us as a result of the spokesperson's complacency.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Naturally, I would pick the person who I agree with most and think is right about everything.

Spoiler

Me. Of course.

 

[mindlesspuppet]

William Shatner is the obvious choice, he has far more experience in such matters than anyone else on the planet.

 

[Fredvdp]

Definitely Stephen Fry.

 

[jurnag12]

I'd say it's obvious

They shall be pacified by his work on Ziltoid and thus form a peaceful partnership of Metal and coffee with us all.
Or we'll all die horrible after a bad joke, but hey, why not.

 

[jurnag12]

I'd say that it's obvious

I'd say they'd all have a good chuckle over the Ziltoid the Omniscient album and then start discussing a peaceful partnership between the aliens and Earth, consisting of equal quantities of coffee and metal.

 

[jurnag12]

Okay, balls to this, can someone delete my past 2 posts? I can't get the bloody images to work and I double-posted on top of that.

 

[Woodsey]

Stacey Solomon obviously. After 30 seconds they won't be coming in peace any more.

Best porn film tagline ever.

OT: I'll also throw my hat in for Boris Johnson. Maybe they'll understand the fucking Ping Pong thing.

 

[Popadoo]

The Dalai Lama.
Maybe he could convince them that we're not all assholes.

 

[ZehMadScientist]

I nominate that homeless fellow with the golden radio voice. The aliens will be instantaneously charmed.

 

[Jhooud]

I agree Popadoo! It's gotta be the Dalai Lama!


Maybe in conjunction with...


They could do the whole Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga total consciousness thing. What alien race wouldn't love that?

 

[LG Jargon]

I can't believe that noone's said it yet...One of the most intelligent and well-spoken sons of bitches out there, and not one of you...

Fully srsfaes response: A newly forged council representing the nations of the world.
Having to choose one man: Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Stephen Fry. Probably Stephen Fry.
Having the option to choose me: Me, yelling "GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" in a falsetto, sobbing lightly.

FINALLY! Jesus! I don't know who Stephen Fry is, but I whole-heartedly vote for muthafuckin' Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's just as well-spoken as Morgan Freeman, but leagues more intelligent. If we wanted to make a good impression, there'd be a great start.

NOTE: I am not saying that Mr. Freeman isn't intelligent. It's just that he's a famous actor with a smooth, deep voice, while Mr deGrasse Tyson is a goddamned astrophysicist.

captcha: tall building ....Huh.

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry Ohhhhhh, so THAT's who Stephen Fry is! I liked him in V for Vendetta.

 

[LG Jargon]

Well NOT Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Bill O'reilly, Glenn Beck or George Bush. Think we can all agree on that. We should in fact lock them up if aliens made contact. Just to be sure.

Seconded. Hell, you can include Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, Fred Phelps, and Dick Cheney in that list.

...I have the feeling that the list of people we should NOT trot out before the aliens is only going to get longer...

 

[joshuaayt]

No one. I want us to stay here, hidden and unresponsive in our little corner, until WE can contact THEM. At that time, we'll send a team to whoever we make contact with- we're too vulnerable, all grouped up on this one planet, to risk bringing potential space banditos to our doorstep.

 

[minimacker]

In all seriousness? Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Yeah, I know. It's overused. But after his lecture about that "1% DNA", fuck you.

 

[StormShaun]

Who should speak for Earth in the event advanced, peaceful aliens visit Earth?

The United Nations. Their the ambassadors for earth and what any future "Earth Alliance"/whatever we call the eventual global government that bring humanity to the stars would most likely come from.

If your after one person, then Morgan Freeman would be the best choice, he does leader roles so well in movies

...Why not both. ^_^

Morgan Freeman leading the United Nations.

I agree Popadoo! It's gotta be the Dalai Lama!

With the Dalai Lama.

Then we could initiate talk with them thanks to Morgan Freeman, sounds peaceful and have the approval of most of the world!
