Too close to real?

The best April Fool's jokes are those that have that air of being credible about them. And this one did. At one level it is appalling of course, but we live in such a crazy world that I did get an email from one of our team (for whom English is a second language) saying 'this is a joke, right?'. You can just picture some 'visionary entrepreneur' coming out with an idea like this, and trying to convince some government or company to pump money in to it...
