of the internet.
What's the internet?
Well, they say it can be
a blessing or a curse, a magical place
where every dream and every nightmare can come true!
But mostly it's a place where people buy and sell stuff

That's cute, Max, but this is the Sunshine Circle.
I know it's a sunshine circle. Now--
Not "a", "the": the Sunshine Circle.

How exclusive could it be?
You're in it.
