Fully broadbanded again, thankfully.
While I was out, there was an interesting little flap about an ‘undiscovered’ Amazonian tribe, with photos and everything.
Shame it was all bollocks…
“They are the amazing pictures that were beamed around the globe: a handful of warriors from an ‘undiscovered tribe’ in the rainforest on the Brazilian-Peruvian border brandishing bows and arrows at the aircraft that photographed them.
Or so the story was told and sold. But it has now emerged that, far from being unknown, the tribe’s existence has been noted since 1910 and the mission to photograph them was undertaken in order to prove that ‘uncontacted’ tribes still existed in an area endangered by the menace of the logging industry...”
Well at least it was bollocks for a worthy cause. That makes it alright, doesn’t it?
Well, no. It fucking does not.
