Got this in my email. I know this story definitely inspired me so I'm sharing it in hopes that it will do the same for others. I'm planning out a short in my head already.

The headline: Russian Astrologist Sues NASA

Wow. Looks like Sagan was right, we live in a demon haunted world.

Shouldn't he be focusing a little closer to home? what about mining companies? Or little children with shovels? What about the house he lives in? It was made from elements taken out of the earth unnaturally. (considering of course he does have a house. Also considering that Humans are somehow not a part of nature.)

I came very close to submitting this link as the trigger, but I decided that people would have had too much time to think about it already.

When I sent off for the trigger, I thought for sure I'd see that headline in the return email. But in the 20 min. I spent waiting for the trigger, I realized what you have just mentioned.

A little disappointing, but I like what you chose instead.
