I also remember as a kid reading TMNT Adventures #14 and #15 and Jagwar's speech about all the acres being burned everyday and thinking to myself it would all be gone in, like, weeks. I've been pretty skeptical about "oh noes, the Amazon is going away!" news ever since.
Sidenote: the "Amazon Fire" TV promotions everywhere seem suddenly very awkward.
