About the show
We invite you to visit the reserve of O-Aps, the indigenous alien species. As you know, our arrival on this planet has not disturbed their way of life. We have built protective fences around the areas where they live. They are apparently unaware of our existence. None of the O-Aphas have ever attempted to leave the perimeter of the reservation.
For your safety, visitors are not allowed to enter the perimeter of the O-Apens.
Although extremely physically similar to humans, O-Aps have a strange lifestyle. Their language is made up of a few words in which the vowel ‘o’ predominates. Their traditions are, in a word, cringe.
Be warned that direct interaction with them may leave you with intense feelings of embarrassment. We don’t know what effects prolonged exposure might have on normal earthlings, so we’re not sure that the O-Apps can ever be integrated into our normal society.
