Ye-e-e-ah, that's the ticket! Pay for all those kids to go to Tokyo and plant trees! Efficient!

Who said the kids would have to get on the plane? Just put the plant on it and see if it gets into the in-flight meal. Said plant won't be pulling down the…

Japan at it's childish best.

I think it's fair cos they're worth whatever the market will pay. Those earning ridiculous sums of money are often ridiculously good at what they do, and entertain the world.
