I love the commitment to the bit by only offering movies from the early 2000s.

Not sure if intentional or not, but this dude also looks like the world’s most obvious undercover cop, which adds another layer to the costume.

Offering Phantom Menace but neither Attack of the Clones, nor Revenge of the Sith, would be the dead giveaway

"You're not a cop, are you? You legally have to tell me if you are!"

"You wouldn't download a car"

I fucking would

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Shit, a new one every day even

If we had replicator technology to enable downloading a car, then it wouldn't even matter that it would put a good chunk, if not most, of the auto industry out of work.

Though I wouldn't be downloading any of today's new cars. Maybe modded versions, and there's probably a few exceptions that haven't been thoroughly enshitified.

With the amount of issues I've had with pirated software, I'd make damn sure I was getting that car from a trusted site, though.

I would do this if not for the irresistible urge to make full use of this treasure of an opportunity to look and act like a pirate in a socially acceptable context.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 29 points 2 years ago

Nothing's stopping you from dressing as a 1700s pirate who sells pirate media 😀

Aye, i can get ya a bootleg of “Two lasses one barrel” if ye be interested.

Is that the one where you can see her ankles?

[-] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Sus. You're talking about pillaging booty aren't you

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

Missed a golden opportunity for his shirt to say “download a car”

[-] StellarExtract@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

The actual PSA slogan was "steal a car". It only turned into "download a car" in a meme edit. This guy's just committing to the bit.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It was changed because the original ad is bullshit. I would steal cars all the time if the original car was left behind and what I "stole" was an exact duplicate. The owner still has their car, I just copied it.

Edit: obligatory "if buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing".

Look, he spends his time pirating, not spellchecking.

[-] twinnie@feddit.uk 13 points 2 years ago

Stuart Little.

This guy was there.

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

He should have been selling copies of pirates of the Caribbean

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

The best part is the font they used for those anti piracy ads always looked like "yOu WoUlDnT dOwNlOaD a CaR"

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I really hope the Stuart little disk just has a jpg of a mouse on it

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Funny. This doesn't look like a roadside stand in Neuvo Progreso, Mexico selling elote en vaso and badly cammed copies of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
