Modern technology has finally made it possible for everyone from lawyers to loo-cleaners to experience the breathtaking beauty of the wilderness zones known as the Wildlands.
Not in person, of course -- Gaia's grand glory must not be marred by the unruly footsteps of the masses.
Thankfully, Hollywood has stepped up to provide us with something much better than nature -- The Wondrous Wildlands on Holovision, brought to you in the temperature-controlled safety of your living room or local holo-theater.
It's the total holographic experience of the wilderness, without all the dangerous snakes, man-eating mountain lions, and armed android guards -- and with popcorn and soft drinks available nearby.
Now everyone has the chance to experience nature as it was intended by the Grand Green Sustainability Plan known as Agenda 21: you, packed efficiently into 10' x 10' cracker box apartments in dense urban centers, enjoying a safe, simulated journey through majestic expanses of unspoiled nature reserved exclusively for the use of the Globalords.
Disknee Holographic Productions would like to acknowledge the generosity of the Globalords in opening their wondrous Wildlands for filming.
The film crews are most grateful for the quarters provided by the Globalords on their luxury country estates, and the lavish gourmet meals prepared from their private organic gardens and grass-fed herds.
