Oops is it!
BS

Glen, my friend I'm so glad you did reply to Jeffery's post. It concerns me that so many people who have exhibited such faith in the financial sector are so disadvantaged by the current situation. As to adapting or dying - for many who are reliant on retirement savings the "adapt" part of the equation may well be the less palatable if this spiral continues.

Me, I came in with bugger all, I live a rich life on not very much and I'll probably go out with bugger all - no need for dramatic adaption, just change my spots from time to time.

Thanks for your contribution to his frivolity.

Hi JED

Thanks for your input and kudos to you and Glen for utilising your highly evolved intellects in contemplation of this nonsense.

In the film Contact the lovely Jodie was contacted by ET's who honed in on the radio and TV signals we've been transmitting for over 100 years now, and based on the shit that passes as news and entertainment I wonder what ET thinks of us.

So renaming the planet could be part of a whole intergalactic rebranding exercise. A client of mine recently had his "Corporate DNA" done by what appear to be a bunch of money sucking bottom dwellers. Nevertheless, such an exercise could prove invaluable in establishing the planet's "Global DNA". With a properly designed logo employing the right colours and shapes, a universally acceptable name and strict art direction it would be much easier to make the right impression.

Analysis data of the demographic is very limited so we do need to be careful not to offend our intended guests when transmitting our brand. At present they may well figure that they need not concern themselves because we will inevitably end up frying our planet and oursleves out of exsitence anyway! And we can't appear too passive - afterall perhaps the last beings in our solar system to reach out were the mob who carved the "Face on Mars". Perhaps they were successful, and perhaps it didn't work out too well. Perhaps that huge freaking canyon stretching across much of the Martian surface was not brought about by erosion.

A slogan comes to mind which subject to advice from the copywriter, art director, SEO consultant, web designer, web builder, TV networks, a myriad of interest groups, the Pope, the Dalai Lama, the Archbishop of Canterbury, several Imans and Rupert Murdoch may well combine the right balance of passivity and aggression: "Come in Peace, or we'll kill you".

I think it has potential but I'm open to further discussion.

My brain hurts. Time for another brandy.

I'll have a Brandy Alexander...my brain hurts, too. As far as a name goes, I vote for "Is".
