The following is a controversial opinion. However, it must be said. Despite outrages to and protestations favoring the contrary, I am all for atomic supermen who will go on to dominate the world provided, of course, that they're American or non-French speaking Canadian. The last thing we need our nuclear Übermenschen to say is "bonjour" and "au revoir" when they could say "hello" and "goodbye" instead. We are not sauvages.
If atomic supermen are going to rule the Earth they need to do correctly. We need to mention to our Übermenschen that it is "this" not "c'est". That the only "et" they should be aware of, and pay any credence to, was a little extraterrestrial who came to Earth the same year Survivor informed us about the "Eye of the Tiger" and Canada’s Men Without Hats reminded us that "we could dance if we want to" only to be contradicted the following year by Re-Flex who warned us about the immense politics involved in dancing. The politics of “ooo feeling good” is not always easily understood.
If memory serves me right, this extraterrestrial who lost to Gandhi, would heal things (not excluding dying house plants and broken families), then died, was resurrected and returned home somewhere in the celestial expanse probably bearing news of "Reese's Pieces" or arguing for invasion. He called home all right and let us be grateful he didn't phone in his performance, am I right? Atomic supermen remember one thing: Buy American or non-French speaking Canadian.
