Google Launches the Internet Bus in India
Google has launched what is essentially a mobile internet cafe called the Internet Bus, to go around India providing poorer people, experience and education in using the internet. Using a high speed connection via what appears to be satellite, the vehicle has the words "Explore the World of the Internet" along the sides, it has not been cheaply done either. The whole vehicle appears to be a custom build, with large flat screen monitors, custom stands and lots of pretty lights. It has been said by the source, that the amount of people in India who are officially below the poverty line, is nearly as much as the total population of the USA. A video advertisement has also surfaced on YouTube, which you can find here.

ROFL
There is a descent amount being about the food too.
*I wonder how many Indians can fit in the ' Google Weednet Bus '.*
*The bus driver better be able to read Google Maps, because if the bus dont get stolen, rampaged, burnt or bombed in India, it sure will as it crosses the border.*
*Lucky there is always a clear sky over India (For that perfect sat. reception) . . . Hey, what's that smell ?*
*If that bus was allowed in the western suburbs of Melbourne - Australia, the bus driver would have to be packing some heavy artilery with an airstrike on-call and would probably have to use it prior to putting the keys in the ignition. Im sure the same would be required in most parts of Australia (Sydney would be a warzone).*
*Arnt we in a recession ? Did India use a ' Get out of recession free card ' ? Was India always in a recession ? Maybe this bus will help . . .*
Dammit im all out of Google weed. bbl
