Doritos Beams Ad into Space, Ensuring Even Extraterrestrials Get Obese and Lazy [Rtising]



Java JavaScript CSS HTML C# Ruby WebService


In a silly PR move, Doritos is beaming an ad for their chips into space, apparently so aliens, when they invade, will attack the Frito-Lay factories first.

They broadcast a 30 second video (what format isn't clear; I hope the aliens have VLC!) into space which was voted on by the British to best represent life on Earth, or at least the moments of life on Earth that involve trying to sell unhealthy corn chips. Peter Charles, Head of the "Doritos Broadcast Project" can apparently still sleep at night after saying "We also shouldn't be too surprised if the first aliens start arriving on planet Earth immediately demanding a bag of Doritos." If so, the universe is more doomed than I thought. [Physorg]
