Aliens just don't want to be discovered.

Obey. Consume. Ban.

Huh?

I don't trust flock cameras on the street corner. Why would I trust flock glasses?

Or am I reading way too hard into a joke about aliens?

That was just a reference to an old movie about aliens and glasses.

Please tell me the movie title is a play on the term "Ray Bans"
