From tomorrow you will be able to purchase at 70 quid an acre a peice of the rainforest.

The great and the good have decided ,in their infinete wisdoom.That you the great world ordinary public can buy a peice of the Amozonian rain forest.Why?Well to conserve it of course.But.And there is always a but.You can only buy it via Google maps..So lets ask ourselves just what this deal is.For 70 pounds you get to buy one acre of virgin rain forest.From ,only described as private sellers.!mmmm.Ok.Lets say we do.Naturally,assuming we are all conservationists we would like it to be contiually used by indigenous indians.So what rights does that leave us with for our acreage?.Notice i say acreage not 70 quid.?Our acreage,or 70 quid has now gone up in value because it has logging intrests our indigenous indians use.MM MM MMMmmm.But besides all of that we would only have an un-updated version of a googled map to know exactly whats going down.I know it's only 70 sovs but add it up for the total acreage of the rainforest.SHEEShE.It's a helluva lot of 70's.
Wisdoom was spelt wrong by intent.
