E.T made me do it!

Why hasn't anyone pulled the E.T defense in a DUI trial? Come on, an "I'm psychically connected to my drunk pet alien" defense couldn't possible fail!

Aside:  I would kill for a photoshop of E.T in a wifebeater as he chugges down that Coors.  Maybe a faux Cops webisode.  Comeon SNL you should be thinking of this shite!

Aside II:  What kind of message does this send kids?  Elliot gets drunk, gets the girl, becomes the hero of the school.  Way to go Spielberg!
