Google Reader keeps me updated with this crazy world (thanks Erin and Libby), and now, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, along with the fucking madman Richard Branson (Virgin) are begging us to get involved with the goings on that are out of this world. Mars in particular.
For all those worrying about global warming and the future of our world... worry no more. You can become a Virgle Pioneer simply by posting a 30 second reply to this YouTube video:
But what is Virgle? And what is a Virgle pioneer? And now that I'm asking, WHY THE FUCK WOULD I WANT TO BE ONE?
"Some people are calling Virgle an 'interplanetary Noah's Ark,'" said Virgin Group President and Founder Sir Richard Branson, who conceived the new venture. "I'm one of them. It's a potentially remarkable business, but more than that, it's a glorious adventure. For me, Virgle evokes the spirit of explorers such as Christopher Columbus and Marco Polo, who set sail looking for the New World. I do hope we'll be a bit more efficient about actually finding it, though."
So, Virgle will be a Martian colony of which humans would actually inhabitate! Yes, you can join the likes of E.T. and Marvin as a Virgle Pioneer... you personally will be one of the first to go and explore outerspace to plan the future city of Virgle.
Apparently, screwing up one planet is not enough for the human race... we have to ruin Mars as well. Where next? I call dibs on Uranus. (Okay... I just really wanted to claim your anus.)
Who knows... maybe this is all one big April Fools joke... but with Richard Branson, one can never quite know. But, if he is being serious, I have a suggestion that would make this world 80 times better:
Why don't we just ship Branson off to Virgle so we can regain our sanity?
