I like the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy version: Earth has been scheduled for demolition by the Vogons in what really amounts to be an interstellar boondoggle!

My dream is for The Culture to stop by for a visit. They just scan everything and make digital copies of the entire civilization's total output, become fans of our TV shows, dance to our music, read our books, learn our entire history, then disguise themselves as humans to come down to see the real thing for themselves, view our natural wonders, party hard, and do little things to help us fix ourselves.

ISTR that canonically, Earth is under non-interference by The Culture (except for Special Circumstances) as a "control group".

Sadly they also aren't real. Probably.
