Notice the uncanny resemblance between the radio and the alien from E. T. The placement of the bug eyes, which parallels the placement of the speakers (with their iris-like centers). The placement of the nose and mouth, &c.
Clearly, people in the dark are mistaking their RCA boombox for alien intruders! :-) They wake up at night, see the boombox on their desk or nightstand, in the dim light, and imagination does the rest.
Sometimes TB posts fly right by me.

I clearly need to rewatch Fire In The Sky with this in mind.
ReplyDeleteThat can't be right, because my boombox likes M&Ms not Reese's Pieces.
ReplyDeleteI got the resemblance thing, but I don't know if this is supposed to be a reference to something deeper than the title of the post.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm looking for a deeper meaning where there is none.
Deep down I'm shallow.
