Keith- one of my workmates - was saying it was the 9.9.09 today.
So him being superstitious and me being a little naughty , I said -
“flip it over - and you have got 666 “
- well ok 6606 - which actually sounds like a phone number ……….
……” hello operator can I speak to Mr Louis D Fir ….on 6606 “ …..
“ sorry sir we don’t have that number , we have Louis C . Fir on 666”………:)
Don’t worry I’ll get my come up pence – one of these days :)
The Den of Iniquity
------------------------------------------
There is of course still all this fuss - circulating , about how the armies of criminals out there are stealing music and movies, and because of it - the poor and destitute film and music industry are now down to their last few billions :)
In the past , this alleged criminal activity was usually countered with the threatening looking advertisements on the front of legitimate DVD’s , which all seem to have curiously disappeared , and of course who can forget the propaganda about the profits from copies being used to fund terrorism and crime .
Now in its wisdom - and after taking the hardened criminals ………
no…….. no ……..sorry it was a 14 year old girl …………. to court , the industry has decided to try to appeal to our better nature , in a blaze of expensive publicity it has set up a body of people using amongst others the old - “our profits help to establish new talent “ – angle.
Well can I offer some real words of wisdom to you ……………
Forget the corporate threats , expensive advertising campaigns and counter productive law suits against children…………………..
……. and just ………..REDUCE YOUR PRICES……….simple as that ………… :)
This of course , knocks out the need to buy copies , hence putting the criminals out of business , and with no funding of terrorism or crime - the DVD / music industry can then rebrand themselves as Marvel comic, style heroes , fighting crime …………
……I’m not getting totally ridiculous here am I ……..surely not :)………
