Guest Column: 'Thank You Demi Lovato'

​Greetings Earthlings,
I write to you today on behalf of extraterrestrials in all galaxies and universes both near and far to share our gratitude for your Demi Lovato, pop singer extraordinaire and all-around good Homo sapien.

We read in your magazine of tumbling rocks about Lovato’s feeling that us extraterrestrials are offended by the term “alien.”

While some of us simply do not care, most of us, in fact, do view the term “alien” to be derogatory and a means to scare earthlings of our existence – of which is simply not necessary. Being greater and smarter beings than most earthlings trust me when I say we could have conquered and enslaved you centuries ago if we pleased, but only Homo sapiens have the capacity for that type of hatred and need for control.

I’m sure you have read in your books and publications and seen on your movie and television screens the cliché extraterrestrial phrase, “we come in peace.” We would indeed come in peace if we ever felt the need to come at all, which we do not. You have much unnecessary strife on your planet Earth and it’s a dying planet for many reasons, primarily your lack of belief in science.

It has come to our attention that many have laughed at Lovato for their kind words about this horrid slur some refer to us as, but I assure you Lovato is among the kindest of your kind.

We look forward to Lovato’s upcoming Peacock docuseries “Unidentified with Demi Lovato,” in which they explore what life there may be beyond Earth. While we do anticipate many laughs and inaccuracies with this series, we know their heart is in the right place.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
E.T.
