Funniest Pirate DVD Story Ever!

[dazzling]

I have a particularly stupid friend who insists that buying pirated Dvd's from the pub is a great idea, even after half of them turn out to be unwatchable or even, completely the wrong film.

Anyway, this is not a thread about piracy, but stupidity. He called me yesterday to say he had Avatar on pirate, but he had the 3D version! Bit suspicious as the 3D one not been released on DVD yet so had to go round his to check it out.

I don't think I've laughed so much in years. Because some bright spark had videoed the film in a cinema with a camcorder, which is bad enough, but they had indeed filmed a 3D version. Which would be stupid enough, but even better, the person had held up a pair of 3d glasses in front of the camera and filmed through them! And obviously aware that to get the full 3d effect you need to see through both lenses, he held the glasses far enough away so you could see through both. In effect, the DVD was a couple of hours of watching a wavering pair of black framed glasses in front of an out of focus screen.

My mate still thinks it was a bargain though.

I need new friends.

Oh, and it actually vastly improved the film, because you couldn't actually see or hear it properly.
