Why exactly do aliens try to communicate with us by making geometrical shapes in corn? Why not just give us a ring on the telly, or send Alf, or maybe even make a suprise appearance at the super bowl half time show?

That would bore them. And we have nothing to offer them anyway, conversationally.

Just my o.

BTW, have you noticed that I completely, 100% totally believe in aliens?

I think that thought experiment was already played out in "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

Didn't we shoot the friendly alien? During the football game?

Personally, if I were and gangly and fey young grey, this is the last place I'd wanna just "drop in for a cup of joe with the locals".
