There's this popular series of French-Canadian humoristic sketches on the radio called "Les 2 Minutes du Peuple" (the People's 2 Minutes). In one sketch NASA scientists receive photos of Mars taken by a rover and they casually and nonchalantly discuss how the photos are poorly done, since a Martian has red eyes on one of the pictures (as if the flash reflected in his eyes). It takes a few seconds before they realize they actually have a picture of a Martian and that there's life on Mars and they freak out.
Then they call another scientist to announce him there's life on Mars, and the scientist looks completely unfazed and says something like "well they already found life on Earth and look where that got us".
