Sorry if I sounded desperate, but do have a look at the top two candidates our American friends have chosen to be competing for presidency. They have chosen these two from the *millions* of people they have. 
I think only an alien abduction could help. Now, how would the aliens deal with the duo? That's their problem.

Nope. We have chosen these 2 out of about 20 possibilities.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The 20 were off the millions and the 2 were picked off the 20 odd, but great job nitpicking, and missing the humour and point completely!

Clearly. But we didn't choose those 20 just like you don't chose out of your millions who will run.

I did a great job doing that. It wasn't funny at all. I did totally miss any humor that was there.
I see people use this same ridiculous statement over and over so you just happened to be the one I finally responded to. There are many people more qualified to be President but did not chose to run. This nonsense that "these are the best 2 they can come up with out of millions" is old, dry, and was never actually funny at all.  Griff's thoughts of the day are funnier than this dry piece.

Thank you. And since it is humor you want, humor you shall get.
I remember the last thing my grandpa said before he kicked the bucket.
He said, "How far do you think I can kick this bucket?"

I didn't read your last post since you seemed to have already completely missed the plot (thought it would've been quite evident from my response), but looks you didn't quite get it?
Besides, no matter how you put it together, these two are the ones running for presidency in America, and that's something I find incredibly funny given there are many other deserving candidates.
But then again, whatever.

I see. You hate humor and laughter. Fine. Whatever.

I find it sad, not funny, but otherwise we agree.

I have deciphered it. It says javascript is shite.

Have you programmed in javascript the algorithm to decipher it?

VB6.

Not a great achievement: is easy to decipher extraterrestrial signals after deciphering Javascript and VB6 themselves.

They've now decoded the message;
"ASL?
Sent from my iPhone 6,852,190"
|
|
|
|
|
The decoded message is:
"Send 10^30 kilograms of hydrogen to the each of the top 6 star systems on this list, erase the top name, add yours to the bottom of the list, and send it to all your friends. Within a million years, you are guaranteed to receive enough hydrogen to power your civilization until your star goes nova.
Do not break this chain!
* The foobars of Epsilon Indi III did so, and became the dumping ground for all of the galaxy's spam mail.
* The bazbangs of Alcor 5 did so, and all the galaxy's newbie programmers headed there, driving them to racial suicide."
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

All right! These guys invented radio 95 years ago. Let's invade them and plunder their planetary resources.

Not necessarily. The article suggests they may be a Kardashev Type II civilization - we are lowly Type 0 - so invading them might be like a log canoe full of cavemen invading the USA...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Well... a caveman is almost about to invade the White House.

Yeah - but he says he'll get the guys in the next hollowed out log to pay for it!
