Sniffer dogs keep pirates at bay
INSPECTOR KNACKER of Malaysia Yard has signed up a couple of PR dogs trained to detect the chemicals used in DVD manufacture to help the plod discover hidden batches of DVDs.
The new arrivals bring Malaysia's Dog Squad up to four strong following a successful pilot scheme last year which claimed 1.6 million pirated DVDs and manufacturing equipment worth more than £3 million snatched.
Readers will be amazed to learn that the dogs are funded by the Motion Picture Association of America, which reckons Malaysia accounted for almost £605 million worth of pirate DVDs in 2005.
It also pretended pirates had put a $15,000 price on the heads of this pair of pooches' accomplices, Lucky and Flo. These original criminal catching canines were shipped out from Britain to star in a PR war against a savage and largely imaginary enemy in far-flung climes. Not unlike Prince Harry.
The new pooches are called Paddy and Manny. Not arf. µ

Is your overhead so EXPENSIVE that you guys have to stoop and use this rediculas ADVERTISING page that loads prior to being redirected to the article.

Get a grip guys and do away with this. It is very ANNOYING and is in very very poor taste for such an outstanding site.

From time to time I read your commercials and even click on them because I know this generates revenue for you and I want to support you in your effort, but this full page MUST READ THIS is very annoying.

I may have to find another site for my news because this is not going to cut it.

Sorry

Mike ...
That maybe the quality has suffered, now that Mike Magee is no longer in the pudding? And whot about Farrell?
Whot's up with Spinola then?
Will they ever get the fracken comments sift a worken? does require a 24 hour watch? If I wanted mi comments never seen, I cud posted in Cermit's Have. I guess mi pearls were lost in the ethernet seas.

Woe as me.

I guess I'm lucky as I never see advertisement pages (knock wood!) that outhr peoples are complaining aboot.

I'm behind an institutional firewood, certifiable, and I have no earthly idea.

'Enjoyed yer quitar briefly, and agin, Andrew.

AT adds: Spinola is right here with me and he asks why you can't type properly.
I haven't seen any interstitials Mike, perhaps you're infected?
Can they put them next to the border routers and train them to sniff BitTorrent downloads going past on the wire? Seems to me they'd catch a lot more piracy that way. Hardly anybody bothers buying physical discs any more.

Your verification code is "sxehuie", pronounced "sexy hewey". Tee-hee.
