MPAA steals British sniffer dogs



THE MPAA KNOWS a good thing when it sees one. Stories of computerless single mums being dragged screaming and penniless to the courthouse for allowing their daughters to listen to music online are all grist to its mill.

Its campaign to make people pay for stuff they can get for nothing thrives on the oxygen of publicity.

And so when British Copyright Cops at Fact (Federation Against Copyright Theft) recruited out a couple of hounds to sniff out pirate DVDs, the MPAA wasn’t slow in wading on to take some credit.

Now, it seems that the MPAA has gone so far as to dognap Fact’s canine sniffers.

    “how do u smell a bootleg?”

    Simple. You don’t. That’s why this is so hilarious. Flo and Jo arrive at the airport supposedly to sniff out bootlegs. They sniff and they sniff. They don’t find anything. “Good dogs” says Mr. MPAA leaning over to give them a scritch behind the ears “That just proves what a wonderful job you’re doing.”

    But they’re sitting on suitcase full of bootlegs out of Taiwan.

    The dogs are smart they aint getting messed up in this mess of a publicity stunt. Bet you flo looked at lucky and was like: hey lucky do you think they will pay us for this gig? Then lucky responded with: Fuck no its the mpaa what do you think. Then they walked around to see how many packages contained copies of porn.
