Aliens Upstage Oscars

- Cow Abducting Aliens in Spandex Hit the Red Carpet -

LAUGHLIN, Nev., March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Forget the Academy Awards. There's something glitzier with more out-of-this-world premiers -- and it might as well be a galaxy away from Hollywood. Star gazing A-Listers say the real intergalactic action is actually in the middle of the desert at the world's largest UFO convention and film festival. Around 900 extraterrestrial enthusiasts and scientists from 25 countries landed in Laughlin, Nevada this week to share their sci-fi sightings and far out film releases. And the culmination of this year's cosmic conference was the worldwide premier of GOT MILK's? aliens advertising campaign -- which to the surprise of many snagged the "Alien Oscar" -- the international UFO EBE -- for best new comer in the field.

"I never imagined we'd be here today," said Feh Tarty, GOT MILK? co-script writer. "I'd like to thank everyone who has believed in this project and, especially those alien scientists for abducting our cows in the first place. Without them this campaign would have never taken off."

According to the convention organizers, GOT MILK's? space age advertisements caused quite a stir at the Congress. "I think some of the scientists were kind of surprised to see an advertising campaign steal the show this year," says Teri Brown, UFO Congress coordinator. "Especially one with spandex wearing aliens and Beatle haircuts."

Developed by longtime GOT MILK? advertising partners, San Francisco-based Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, the new Alien commercials put forth a plausible -- if not somewhat unusual -- explanation for the recent rash of cow abductions as reported by dairy farmers on http://www.cowabduction.com/. The five new GOT MILK? Aliens commercials, entitled "Landing Party," "Farmer," "Communication," "The Ship" and "Homecoming" will air beginning March 13th -- throughout 2006.
