    “Terrorizes Pakistan”

    Other way around I think.

    I, for one, welcome our tiny alien overlords.

    Grey pride Galaxy wide.

    It’s little, dark, ugly, & i bet it can’t fix anything. No wonder no one wants to eat it.

    we’re not about to be abused and mistreated like this any longer. our tiny voices will be heard, and our ray guns will singe the ankles of any human who threatens our people. you thought cthulhu was terrifying? wait until you experience the wrath of tiny alien underlords!

    i agree, it would only be worse if the children were chronic bed wetters… i believe that would finally stamp their ticket to serial killer town.

  • mcn

    @9 – I love you.

  • Takuan

    it was only tangentially funny anyway.

    my god! this is an outrage! I was going to eat that mummy!

    This is obviously a fake. Everyone knows aliens only show up in rural America when no one else is around.

  • dainel

    In Malaysia, they’re called “toyol”. Not aliens from another planet. But more “weird creatures” along the lines of bigfoot. But really small. A couple of inches tall. Supposedly, they like to suck on the big toes of sleeping people. I don’t know why.

    -Someone- is making money off of this… but I can’t yet figure out who it is.

    Follow The Money.

  • ryuubu

    Wow. This deserves a psychological investigation.

    I bet these people even believe what they’re saying. The ugly side of the human psyche.

  • mypalmike

    In other news, the son of God appeared in Jerusalem at some point in the distant past.

  • Mr_Voodoo

    I want to believe…

    …it’s not a turd.

  • rAMPANTiDIOCY

    it was alive when they found it. . . they just happened to stone and burn it to death before the cameras arrived.

  • Anonymous

    Looks delicious. I think they overcooked it though thats what all the fuss is about.

  • Cowicide

    I wonder if tiny aliens taste like chicken?

  • Anonymous

    That makes sense. The most significant scientific discovery in possibly all of human existance, and some kids stick it in a bottle and poke it until it dies.

    Also, it looks like a cheesy doll from the Dollar Store.

  • Richard Metzger

    I appreciate their CONVICTION and SINCERITY!

    Every single one of them is a liar. It’s astonishing. And funny. The newsreader doesn’t even call bullshit on it.

    The children who put it on hot bricks to burn its skin will likely grow up to be criminals. Early intervention is necessary.

  • Horned_one24

    It’s a street light!

    At first I thought it looked like they put garnish on the plate.

    Even though it’s burned up, I think it’s a Bratz doll. Appears to have to the same type of body and oversized head.

  • Pantograph

    Isn’t that headline backwards? Clearly the alien was terrorized (and subsequently lynched) by the Pakistanis.

    I demand a full investigation and swift intervention by the Zeta Reticuli Rapid Reaction Force. Stamp out specieism and Earth chauvinism now! Grey Power!

    Thanks for that link, I get sick of USA people posting USA only stuff, now I can return the favour.

    Maybe it’s a leprechaun.
