This is too funny. As we all know Piracy in China is a problem… no doubt. So it came as no surprise when we all heard the other day that copies of Spider-Man 3 were already in circulation in the DVD pirate shops over there. And get this… they’re going for about $1. That’s quite a deal.
However, those thinking that they were getting themselves a sweet deal on the street would later arrive home… pop in the newly bought disk… only to get a little surprise. The good folks over at Yahoo News give us this:
A copy bought for 10 yuan — a little over $1 — came with the vendor’s caveat that it was “not good quality.” When played in a DVD machine, the screen showed a 2001 television movie “Earth vs. The Spider” starring Dan Aykroyd as a detective investigating the case of a spider-like killer.
HAHA!!!! Holy crap that’s hilarious! And what are you going to do about it? Call the cops? “Officer!! Officer!!! I tried to buy a pirated DVD off that dude over there… and he ripped me off!”. Good luck with that… let me know how life is like inside a Chinese prison. HA! Earth vs. The Spider!
