This is beyond my understanding. I don't know if it ought to be in "flames" instead, just for the fun of it.

It turns out that eiscat sent an advertisement into a solarsystem 42 lightyears away from us, come by tortillas

Wow..this is some far-out stuff evolving, I dont quite get it all. Its like they believe an actual contact will be made..but why?

It appears to be promoted in hopes of future acknowledgment by exterrestrials, which in itself is quite bizarre..what next? Condom commercialized radar? this is strange..

I see that the message was chosen by competition. It seems kind of like a publicity stunt targeted at the nerds out there. The real value of winning the contest is nothing more than a funny story for the winner to share with their buddies.
