Actually the film was about people who'd bought some Moon at £20 an acre ( about $40) for which they recieved a certificate that looked, well...not very legal anyway. Some guy had 22 strips! At first there was the amusement factor that kept me watching but a kind of horror crept in that a good chunk of these buyers were single men with a few funny ideas in their heads who were filling their lives with distractions that further pushed them away from what's laughably considered mainstream. Um... it's hard to describe what I'm getting at but a shiver really went down my spine. Sometimes life is just unbearably sad.

Haha, there was actually a boy in my English class back in secondary school who prided himself upon - apparently - having purchased a couple of acres on the moon. Got to say, I found the whole notion highly questionable at the time.

IMO, the only one who has any right to sell plots of land on the moon is Ratzilla. He was there first, after all.
