The Cheek of Some People!!!!

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last 5 years, you would know that you can get really cheap (pirated) CDs and DVDs throughout Asia. In Sibu, they cost about RM$5 (NZD$3) each. These pirated DVDs retailers are everywhere and the merchandise are displayed blatantly. There's no need for a suspicious man in trenchcoat to come up to you and flash you. In this case instead of being greeted by dodgy male parts which resulted in you running away screaming and/or pointing and laughing, you are greeted by replica watches hanging off the inside trenchcoat which resulted in you pointing and laughing (with joy. Score!).

But THIS is just cheeky:

Looks normal, right? Take a closer look:
Not only did they rip Jay Chou off, the pirated CD had this message on the back. Copting?? If you are going to copy the whole thing, at least copy it word for word, ok?

This is cheeky too. Duplication is a violation of applicable law. All trademarks and logos are protected????? Apparently not. Tsk tsk tsk.

Don't judge me for buying pirated goods. I'm a poor, unemployed (amoral) accountant with five mouths to feed, ok? Ok, just one but feels like five most days.
