With all the rumblings of a war with Syria going on, why would a radio station do a promo about aliens taking over the station? Did they just assume that nobody believes in this stuff? Or, did someone want to find out if people would believe it?

‘Alien’ Marketing Promotion Scares Residents In Ala. Community
August 30, 2013 9:04 AM
TUSCUMBIA, Ala. (AP) — A gimmicky promotion about an alien takeover at a radio station wound up scaring some residents of a north Alabama community.
Star 94.9 is changing formats in Tuscumbia, so it used a marketing ploy in which aliens take over the station to figure out what type of music appeals to humans.
But the promotion apparently scared some people.
The TimesDaily reports that concerned parents and students called police and schools, and the station says it received phone calls, too.
