The poll shows 101%. Aliens are here, have made contact, and the results were so strange, they have a deal for a long running Reality TV thing back home. "Intelligent Life?" has quite a following.
In their world our behaviors would lead to a quick death at best. Better than their system, they can watch ours, and see the wisdom of theirs.
Bad Behavior, of which we extend the believable, is Dumb and Dumber, complex pornography, self destruction, done by creatures that fall just short of being self aware. It is a morality play, and a comedy. The children love it. They find it disgusting.
It is more than TV, Neuro linking allows entering the brain of an Earther, and having access to all their perceptions, memories, and is top flight entertainment.
They are very old, have a high technology, and long ago bred out the animal of their nature. Going for an ape ride is like us hunting as one of wolf pack. Changing us would ruin the ratings. They can ape surf like we do the internet.
They have met several other species, as advanced as themselves, and as boring. We are larger, and still wild. Some Hybrids have been produced as special assistants for the more powerful among them. Many have been taken, for use in zoos, medical experiments, and as labor because we are easily enslaved by a shock collar.
How many they take is unknown, but 25,000 a year vanish forever in the US.
In some ways they are like us, no other species has any rights, domestic livestock is what they think of us. Like a wild horse, captured, broken, worked, then sent to the glue factory.
Intelligent life is rare, much more common, planets with exploitable resources. Mining a whole planet can use up a lot of labor.
Our oldest writings say the gods came from the sky, made humans to labor in their gardens.
