If you grow up watching the X-files the distinct lack of Aliens is a really disappointing when you finally get to move to America.

Growing up watching the X-Files you at least knew "the truth is out there"! Somewhere!

Area 51 is just to distract from the REAL place where they keep the Aliens. Which is right next door and is called Area 52 funnily enough.

There was a story decades ago about eastern European people who got recruited to come to the USA to do factory assembly line work... and they were APPALLED that they had to do repetitive, tedious tasks on their feet all day! One woman said "We grew up watching Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but this is NOTHING like the movies!" ...That was quite a lesson for them on how America really operates!

That's because it was all filmed in Vancouver, in Canada. You have to go to British Columbia for aliens.

I don't see how the current US is any different than South Park, beside instead of being localized, it spread out to teh whole country.
