I can't believe that noone's said it yet...One of the most intelligent and well-spoken sons of bitches out there, and not one of you...
NOTE: I am not saying that Mr. Freeman isn't intelligent. It's just that he's a famous actor with a smooth, deep voice, while Mr deGrasse Tyson is a goddamned astrophysicist.
captcha: tall building ....Huh.
EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry Ohhhhhh, so THAT's who Stephen Fry is! I liked him in V for Vendetta.
FINALLY! Jesus! I don't know who Stephen Fry is, but I whole-heartedly vote for muthafuckin' Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's just as well-spoken as Morgan Freeman, but leagues more intelligent. If we wanted to make a good impression, there'd be a great start.Deviate said:

No one. I want us to stay here, hidden and unresponsive in our little corner, until WE can contact THEM. At that time, we'll send a team to whoever we make contact with- we're too vulnerable, all grouped up on this one planet, to risk bringing potential space banditos to our doorstep.
In all seriousness? Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Yeah, I know. It's overused. But after his lecture about that "1% DNA", fuck you.

If your after one person, then Morgan Freeman would be the best choice, he does leader roles so well in movies
Morgan Freeman leading the United Nations.

Then we could initiate talk with them thanks to Morgan Freeman, sounds peaceful and have the approval of most of the world!
I've always disliked Dr. Tyson, for some reason. I find him obnoxious.LG Jargon said:
OT: I'd say we should do Jimmy Carter. I never liked him as a politician or a President, but the guy has worked all of his life to ensure World Peace and security. He's pleasant, well-meaning, and he'd likely be able to hit it off well with the aliens.
You have my concurrence with this also. Seriously, though, he's actually eligible for Presidency of the USA, let's make THAT happen. O:Daystar Clarion said:I second this.Rawne1980 said:It should be this man....
The aliens might have a better chance at figuring out what the fuck he is saying half the time.
Boris has also likely spent millions of the taxpayer's money on some sort of doomsday weapon, just in case First Contact goes tits up.
I have a strong suspicion that any alien race we meet is also going to be somewhat fractured. The only realistic way to get a whole planet under one nation is massive genocide, which isn't a ice thing to do. Sure, they may have a much more effectual version of the UN, but they'd understand that we have separate nation-states.

I thought of Stephen Fry too, at first. Then I realised, if they landed on our planet, it wouldn't be for peace. Peace talks are held on neutral ground. Peaceful aliens will observe us from a distance 'til we're ready to stop blowing each other up and meet them up in space.
Aliens who land, wish to destroy us. We need to be prepared.

Why should we expect them to be able to hear what we say?
I think we should build a robot to do it for us. Have every country make one part of the robot per percent of the human population they represent. We already build most of our shit in asia anyway.
