I think it would be nice for there to be some reserved places on the Earth's surface which can remain undisturbed by the internet. Soon, you're going to need a boat just to escape its corrupting influence.
PS If I was a Cantabrian farmer and I saw one of these above my property I'd have my shotgun out, quick as.
