Exactly what you’d expect a lizard person to say. From io9:
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key was recently asked to provide “any evidence to disprove the theory that [he] is in fact a David Icke style shapeshifting reptilian alien ushering humanity towards enslavement.” Key, in a congenial manner atypical of shapeshifting reptilian aliens, responded.
Said Key:
“To the best of my knowledge, no. I’ve taken the unusual step of not only seeing a doctor but a vet, and both have confirmed I’m not a reptile … I’ve never been in a spaceship, never been in outer space, and my tongue’s not overly long either.”
But how do we know the doctor and the vet aren’t lizard people, too?
We are not fooled, reptilian overlords. We are not fooled.
GhandiCon Three! Just shows that the truth will out. They can no longer ignore or laugh at these accusations: now They are trying to fight them.
And this is why it’s pointless to address conspiracy theorists at all; no matter what you say, they “win”. You either deny it and they take that as proof that you’re lying or you…
Wait. I wonder what would actually happen if he’d turned round and said “yesss, I am a lizard!”? I wonder what the conspiracy nutters would do if someone in an ‘official’ capacity gave credence to their beliefs?
As a firm believer of the maxim: ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer, it would be interesting to see them fight crazy with crazy.
Apparently the request was made through channels that require a response, an NZ equivalent of FOIA or something similar.
did they ask this question in all seriousness?
Well, with the same seriousness of that guy who sued NASA for not investigating rock-throwing alien life on Mars, I think.
