I was watching SNL Saturday night and static interrupted a State Farm commercial, displaying the words "May 11 Tune-in Earthlings". I thought I was seeing things at first. Needless to say I continued watching TV till about 12:45 for any other messages, but none appeared. A Sunday morning Google search confirmed my experience:

Are you an earthling?
Maybe only earthlings could hear the message.

The end of the world and the takeover of the Earth by aliens is going to be announced on TV on May 11?

That's a little unsettling.

My guess is that it was a rather crafty teaser for a show entitled 'Tune in Earthlings' or something like that. A good way to get everyone talking and tuning in..

Except I've never heard of a TV show with that name.

What channel are we supposed to tune into to catch the alien announcement that we've all been reduced to pets? (I'm expecting the aliens from 'Mars Attacks'.)

Well I saw the commercial last night. It's a takeoff on the old SNL skit called the Coneheads using Jane Curtin and Dan Akroyd. Woopdeedoo..Doesn't make me wanna use their insurance.

May 11 came and went, without any grand contact from extraterrestrials.

I'm both disappointed and relieved.

I loved the coneheads.

Questioner: "Where are you from??"

Conehead: "France".
