Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after new life forms began to appear there and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE.

Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures"...

Our story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.

This is from the Ethics Code Statement of the Word of Mouth Marketing Association:We practice openness about the relationship between consumers, advocates, and marketers. We encourage word of mouth advocates to disclose their relationship with marketers in their communications with other consumers. We don't tell them specifically what to say, but we do instruct them to be open and honest about any relationship with a marketer and about any products or incentives that they may have received.

We stand against shill and undercover marketing, whereby people are paid to make recommendations without disclosing their relationship with the marketer.

Would you like to to disclose your marketing relationship? And why is it always such ****-awful unwatchable movies you come here to promote?

Did you snippet? I was hoping "he" was going to post a series of exciting and interesting articles[1], or perhaps a short story!

I got in my mail an article about a "really funny film on u-tube[2]". Sadly, it was about databases, one called "DB2", and another called "Oracle", referred to as "Orrible". Narcoleptic to say the very least, I had to switch off to stay awake.

Would you like me to find you a nice quiet institution with sympathetic curvy nurses and a tolerant attitude to Messers Beam and Daniels?

You've no idea how obvious it is that you're going to answer Yes to that.

Quit teasing me. I'll settle for a quiet pub and a warm glass of beer.

I am OK with the warm glass, as long as the beer that gets put in it is cold.

I was kinda looking forward to the story, myself, bit if its just another monster movie, I guess I'll wait til it hits cable.

Made me think of this event way back when:

YouTube - 'Attack By Mars' Panic; Orson Wells Speaks 1938/10/31

The War of the Worlds was an episode of the American radio drama anthology series Mercury Theatre on the Air. It was performed as a Halloween episode of the series on October 30, 1938 and aired over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network. Directed and narrated by Orson Welles, the episode was an adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds.

The first two thirds of the 60-minute broadcast was presented as a series of simulated "news bulletins", which suggested to many listeners that an actual alien invasion by Martians was currently in progress. Compounding the issue was the fact that the Mercury Theatre on the Air was a 'sustaining show' (it ran without commercial breaks), thus adding to the program's verisimilitude. Although there were sensationalist accounts in the press about a supposed panic in response to the broadcast, the precise extent of listener response has been debated. In the days following the adaptation, however, there was widespread outrage. The program's news-bulletin format was decried as cruelly deceptive by some newspapers and public figures, leading to an outcry against the perpetrators of the broadcast, but the episode secured Orson Welles' fame.

Welles' adaptation was one of the Radio Project's first studies.
