So, the UN is appointing a head of aliens relations. (*)
Mazlan Othman of Malaysia, director of the UNOOSA is now the appointed space ambassador for alien affairs. The UNOOSA? The UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, duh.
I have only one gripe about this: I saw V. I know that the one welcoming the lizards is a Swede. He even speaks Swedish.
* So, this seems to have been a 100% fabricated piece of "news". Sunday Times seems to be the culprit, making up news out of thin air. UNOOSA still exists and Othman is its head, but there's no "space ambassador".
The proper way to greet aliens is still in Swedish.
Update: This piece of news has now risen to The Onion. How cool is that? "News" propagating from The Onion, that I've heard of, preferably by way of Chinese authorities. But "real news" achieving "unreal news" status, that's new to me. Maybe that ask the people thing is always based on real news, I just don't read the Onion enough to know.
