Top reasons why we SHOULD buy pirated VCDs:

 
1. Free black bagYou can't get those cool black coloured bags anywhere. The ones soldoutside is too big and they're meant for the tong sampah.

2. Family bondEvery weekend when you go to Summit USJ, you can see little kidsrunning to the VCD shop to select their favourite Pokemon cartoon VCD.And then mommy will come along to find her favourite Teresa Teng VCD.Next, comes big sister selecting her F4 VCD. And lastly, big bro anddaddy searching for the latest movies ... and try to eye for someyou-know-what VCD. Anyway, the whole idea is, the piratedVCD shop is like a place for weekend family reunion. When is thelasttime you see daddy buying Little Billy a VCD in Speedy Video ?

3.Cinema svcksWhen you reach the cinema, you'll have to line up for 15 minutesbefore it's your turn to get the ticket. But then they tell you ticketsudah habis. So, you bought the next show and had to wait for another3 hours. When the time comes, the ticket usher stops you from bringingnasi lemak and cha-kuay-teow into the hall. So, you're forced to lineup another 10 minutes in the snack bar. By then,you're already late for the show. Lampu sudah tutup when you went it.Oooppss ... terjatuh and everyone laugh at you. Next, the cinema boreyou with 15 minutes of iklan. Frankly speaking, I dunno why thegovernment ban 'triple x' VCDs when all the beer commercials in thecinema features 10 sluts dancing around. Later,your handphone rang and everyone booed you. At last, the show ends butyou'll need to beratur through the smelly exit. After 30 mintues, younoticed that your handphone is lost. The only thing good about cinemasis the fact that you can throw kua-chi on the floor.

4. Customer Friendly SellersBuying VCDs from the stall are like dining in a luxury restaurant.First, those blond hair sellers will greet you with 'leng-chai'. It'snow time to order the meal. If you know what to order, they willsearch the title for you. But let's say if you're decided, thesefellas will suggest some meals for you. Strangely, all movies (according to them ) is nice to watch. When you've finished, here comesthe main course. Therectangular box containing all the finest artistic internationalstuff. And you can bargain too ! But when you buy VCDs from SpeedyVideo, the shop assistant will stand few meters away from you, withtheir arms tied and eyes alert, thinking that you're anothershoplifter.

5. Beli barang buatan MalaysiaThe name says it all. No comment.

6. You go to the movies...while watching the most suspense part in a lovemovie....as the guy and girl is about to kiss...all of a sudden the screenbecomes matrix mode. And then it changes to some dull scene. Doesn't thissound familiar? Say thank you to our censorship board for helping usremove the itsy bitsy parts. You never get this when you buy piratedCDs.

7. 6 years ago, piracy was a minority because of the original CDpricing and contents. 3 years ago, they increased original CD prices70% and say it's because of import duties, tax and other crap. Whileat the same time the pirated CD prices drop from 50% - 70%. Customerswould prefer to buy from a sale right?

8. Piracy helps students to learn new programs at a reduced pricecost. If every student is going to spend RM800 just to buy AdobePhotoshop, then Malaysia would lag behind in the computer graphicsindustry. So in a long run, Malaysia's economy status becomes betterwith more knowledgeble citizens. And many people are willing to spendmoney to buy pirated CDs but not that willing to buy original cds. Bybuying the CDs they are circulating the money thus helping the moneyflow around and not stay in the pockets.
