Crop circle: No, it wasn't aliens, it was marketers

[Crabby Appleton]

(CNN) -- Sorry, dear readers, but the crop circle discovered last week etched in a farmer's barley field in Chualar, California, was not created by aliens.

Instead -- surprise! -- it was a stunt intended to attract publicity to the release of a mobile processor used in automobiles, tablets and cell phones made by the computer graphics company NVIDIA, according to its president and CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang.

10. How do we know the chip

wasn't designed by aliens?

11. Somehow I doubt the OP of the previous post will show up here.

Ignorance is strictly enforced.

[Berlum]

21. Wrong

As usual, Scientific Materialists fail to read the thread, and are again using typical knee-jerk prejudice to condemn what they refuse to understand, and to promote their distorted versions of actual science.

[X_Digger]

22. 'refuse to understand'? Umm.. mote beam eye. n/t

[Orsino]

24. Would you say that more research is needed to explain the 192 circle? n/t

[cthulu2016]

27. So "actual science" would tell us that people did not make this circle??

[zappaman]

28. Oh, too funny.

[sufrommich]

31. I applaud your satirical skills. nt

[Iggo]

13. So every time one of these things gets explained, it turns out to be humans what did it.

Amazing.

[AtheistCrusader]

25. And a perfect score so far too.

You'd think that would tell some people something, but I guess not.

[Brickbat]

14. It's all about the do-re-me.

Followers of woo would do well to remember that.

[zappaman]

17. Is there video?

If not, how do we know that this isn't just a coverup?
Aliens can not be ruled out.

[FSogol]

18. Haw! That's just what "THEY" want you to think!

[Ron Green]

19. I'd rather have the aliens than the marketers.

At least there'd be a chance for an honest agenda.

[Glassunion]

23. That explains the Braile message of "#192" repeating...

[cthulu2016]

29. So fucking what? NVIDIA is known to be an alien-owned company

[MineralMan]

32. A crummy commercial? Sonuvabitch!

I wanted aliens...damnit!

[riqster]

33. If they weren't illegal aliens, no problem.

36. The believers will call this a lie! nt
