unrealistic immigration

I just got done watching Men In Black. Definitely a classic, a childhood favorite, a great ride at Universal Studios (but not better than Spider Man), and much, much, MUCH better than the sequel.

But what I don't get is this: you remember the scene where J is first introduced to MIB HQ and K walks him through all the alien "immigrants" coming in from trillions of light years away? Yeah.

So my question is this: if you were an alien, why the hell would you want to come to earth? What do we have to offer? A planet full of people whose sole purpose is to kill each other, an atmosphere full of pollution, a fucking hole in the ozone layer that will eventually lead to Noah's Ark, and a planet full of people who are completely discriminatory to others. Yeah, there might be shittier places elsewhere, but earth? There are probably millions of planets (and moons) out there that are better than this one.

I'm all for earth, don't get me wrong, but if I had to travel trillions of miles to get here, I'd probably just save the money and buy a PS3. Actually nah, that costs too much right now, I'd get a Wii instead.

Don't forget Aldous Huxley's famous words, "Maybe this world is another planet's hell."

Nuff' said.
