Sci-fi Comedy Filmmaker

I guess I stepped over the line with my first journal entry.
Oh well, what have I been doing lately? Hmm.. I started working
on my latest script---oops, that could be taken as being promotional.
Uh--I've been writing lots of words that I someday hope to have people
recite into a recording device just for the fun of it. These words,
when taken in context with some sort of reflected imagery, will convey
a unique perspective of one human being's point of view on a given
subject which may cause another human being to consider their own
point of view on said subject. This experience may even give the
viewer a new insight into a subject that was previoulsy taken for
granted as being viewable in only one way. How's that sound?

Okay filmmaker, here are a couple of classic ideas for you which I hope you'll make something clever out of. They've been collecting dust in my head for at least five years, and I've not done anything with them yet.

1) Why does nobody every discover or collide with a cloaked spacecraft that's parked in a really, REALLY obvious and heavily-trafficked place? (I'm thinking about the biologist in Star Trek-somethingorother - the whale show - who runs across the park and stops JUST before colliding with the invisble leg of the spacecraft WHEN SHE HAS NO REASON TO STOP.)
Actually, I think Douglas' Somebody Else's Problem field works the best for this, but nobody's thinking an audience is clever enough to get it.

2) How about a space craft with a car-alarm, for the idle rich? Someone gets too close and the alarm sounds" Step away from the spacecraft, please!"
