Although datelined April 1, this article claims that they are not joking about Nick Pope claiming that after the Oscars slap, space aliens may be afraid of Will Smith and reluctant to invade because they believe he is his character from "Men in Black."
Quote:Will Smith could be scaring off alien life if they have intercepted our TV broadcasts and mistake Men in Black for reality, an expert has claimed.
Nick Pope, 53, worked for the British Government and probed UFOs for the MOD, and said it is likely that extraterrestrial life is aware of our existence and could even be monitoring us.
He said it would be easy for an advanced race to watch our TV, but they may not be aware of what fiction is and might think that Men in Black and Independence Day are documentaries.
Nick said that after watching the Oscars, where Smith appeared to slap comedian Chris Rock, any alien lifeform thinking about visiting earth could now be rethinking it.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
