Spiderman 3 Pirates Nabbed by Flo and Lucky
April 27, 2007Even though the first Spiderman 3 DVDs were fakes, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has a serious issue on its hands. Nine out of every 10 DVDs sold in China is an illegal copy. But MPAA spokesman Dan Glickman isn’t the most charismatic and Jack Valenti has passed on What to do?
Put Flo and Lucky on the case!
Flo and Lucky are the silent spokesdogs of the MPAA, deployed throughout Asia to literally ’sniff out’ pirated movies and games. The heroic dogs, trained to detect polycarbonate, even put a stop to a stash of child pornography. No wonder the pirates of Malaysia have put a bounty on their heads.
You don’t have to believe a word of it. It’s still a brilliant PR gambit by the MPAA, as people care much more about chocolate Labs than camcorder-wielding movie pirates or bloated movie moguls.
