[1]California's answer to the [2]Utah monolith had only been discovered on 2 December. A day later [3]it was gone , pushed over in the early hours of Thursday by three young intellectuals who claimed to have driven more than five hours for the mission.
[4]Poor-quality video filmed through a night-vision lens and taken from streaming site DLive, [5]since removed , shows their leader referencing "so-called alien obelisks" before expressing intent to replace the structure with a cross. "Christ is king in this country," he says, melodramatically banging the thing with his palm. "We don't want illegal aliens from Mexico or outer space. So let's tear this bitch down."
Charming. The little boys then lay into the innocent stainless-steel art project, chanting like a Sunday School frat "CHRIST IS KING!" as it topples over. The intro douchebag then proclaims "America First!" while his mates puzzle over how to remove the obelisk from its base.
[6]According to Vice , the stream followed the wee scamps erecting a plywood cross in its place, posing for Instagram snaps with boots on the monolith "as if it's a hunting trophy", then pulling it down the mountain with ropes. The hipster media empire said that at one point the boys thought they were being pursued by "Antifa", and that the stream prior to these events had been defined by racist drivel, mention of "burning crosses", and other dumb shit not fit for the 21st century. Or any century.
All of which makes for a depressing end(?) to the saga that had provided some light relief and whimsy in these dark times as people speculated over the objects' origins. Sadly, the ease with which the California monolith was removed seems to confirm this one at least was man-made, though we remain none the wiser as to what all this is an advert for. For now. ®

Just....
Whatever you do, don't ask them to recite poetry. Pretty sure that would come under a violation of the Geneva convention.
Re: Just....
Oh freddled gruntbuggly, thy micturations are to me...
Re: Just....
I take it you mean don't ask the MAGAts to recite it, naturally? I can imgine a little Vogon verse would be a blessed relief by comparison....
Aliens' Conversation
"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
"Fuckin' A."
I wish these people had read the Gospels at least once...
... they would have found their actions would be strongly frowned upon by the protagonist....
Re: I wish these people had read the Gospels at least once...
That would require them to be able to read.
Re: I wish these people had read the Gospels at least once...
"What'ya readin' for???"
what a shame
If only they had thought to pick up some bones and bash each other over the head - in another million years or so they could have evolved into Leonard Rossiter
Re: what a shame
billions of years - FTFY
Usually
I would say it's better to regret something you have done, as opposed to regretting something you haven't done, but in this case I would rather regret NOT doing this.
And removing the video from one site doesn't remove it from the internet... Yep, like getting the pee back out of the pool. Maybe this will haunt them later in life?
Mixed feelings
On the one hand, I despise w*nker "conceptual artists" that pull this kind of vapid stunts.
On the other, how inbredly stupid do you have to be to drive for hours to destroy something, while chanting xenophobic slogans?
I despair.
As someone else said, nuking the site from orbit is probably the only way
Re: Mixed feelings
I've said it before, acts like these are why we are alone in the universe... What self-respecting Extraterrestrial race would want to associate with us when we have idiocy like this running rampant in our societies?
Second great commandment
These so-called Christians always forget the teachings of their chosen imaginary friend
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew 22:37-40
That is unless they do actually hate themselves and are transferring that hatred onto their neighbours as some kind of incel defense mechanism...
What makes them think that aliens from outer space would be illegal? More likely they would be here to evict us (quite legally) in order to build a hyperspace bypass.
