This is just a joke and is by no means encouraging people to buy pirated cds. I received this from a Malaysian friend, so the setting is not in Singapore. If you feel this joke should be taken down, please PM me or the other mods. 
10 good reasons why we should buy pirated cdsMessage:
1. Free black plastic bag
You can't get those cool black coloured bags
anywhere.The ones sold outside are too big and
they are meant for the tong sampah.
2. Family bond
Every weekend, when you go to wangsa maju JJ,
you can see little kids running to the VCD shop to
select their favourite Pokemon cartoon VCD. And
then mommy will come along to find her favourite
Teresa Teng VC2D. Next comes big sister to select
her F4 VCD. And lastly, big bro and daddy
searching for the latest movies ... and try to eye
for some you-know-what VCD. Anyway, the whole
idea is, the pirated VCD shop is like a place for
weekend family reunion. When was the last time
you saw daddy buying little Billy a VCD in Speedy
Video ?
3. Cinema sucks
When you reach the cinema, you'll have to line up
for 15 minutes before it's your turn to get the
ticket. By then, they tell you ticket sudah habis.
So you buy tickets for the next show and have to
wait another 3 hours. When the time comes, the
ticket usher stops you from bringing nasi lemak
and cha-kuay-teow into the hall.So you're forced
to line up another 10 minutes in the snack bar. By
then, you're already late for the show. Lampu
sudah tutup when you go in. Oooppss.. terjatuh
and everyone laughs at you. Next, the cinema bores
you with 15 minutes of
iklan. Frankly speaking, I dunno why the
government ban 'triple x' VCDs when all the beer
commercials in the cinema feature sluts dancing
around. Later, your handphone rings and everyone
boos you. At last, the show ends but you'll need
to beratur through the smelly exit. After 30
minutes, you notice that your handphone is lost.
The only thing good about cinemas is the fact that
you can throw kua-chi on the floor.
4. Customer Friendly Sellers. Buying VCDs from
the stall is like dining in a luxury restaurant.
First, those blond hair sellers will greet you
with 'leng-chai'. It's now time to order the meal.
If you know what to order, they will search the
title for you. But if you're undecided, these
fellas will suggest some meals for you. Strangely,
all movies (according to them) are nice to watch.
When you've finished, here comes the main course.
The rectangular box containing all the finest artistic
international stuff (porn?).. And you can bargain
too! But when you buy VCDs from Speedy Video,
the shop assistants will stand few meters away from
you, with their arms tied and eyes alert, thinking
that you're another shoplifter.
5. Beli barang buatan Malaysia
The title says it all. No need to say more.
6. You go to the movies...while watching the most
suspense part in a love movie....as the guy and
girl are about to kiss...all of a sudden, the
screen goes into matrix mode. And then it changes
to some dull scene. Doesn't this sound familiar?
Say thank you to our censorship board for helping
us remove the "naughty" parts. You never get this
when you buy pirated CDs.
7. 6 years ago, piracy was a minority because of
the original CD pricing and contents. 3 years ago,
they increased original CD prices by 70% and say
it's because of import duties, tax and other
crap.While at the same time, the pirated CD prices
drop by 50% - 70%. Customers would prefer to buy
from a sale right?
8. Piracy helps students to learn new programs at
a reduced price cost. If every student is going to
spend RM800 just to buy Adobe Photoshop, then
Malaysia would lag behind in the computer
graphics industry. So in the long run, Malaysia's economic
status becomes better with more knowledgeable citizens.
9. As people are willing to spend money on pirated
CDs but not that willing to buy original cds, they
are circulating the money and helping to increase
the GDP.
10. Pirated VCDs offer the latest movies, even
before they are shown in the U.S.! Compare this to
original VCDs, where you have to wait for a few
mnths 4 the cd!!!!!
Malaysian joke lar.
