DirecTV to Pursue Pirates

Trinity-Infinity writes "This story from CNNfn details DirecTV's & Hughes Electronics' plans to eliminate the piracy of their signals through a direct-mail campaign. Their source for creating their list of who to mail letters to? Searching bootlegging operations the feds have already busted. It is interesting that as many as 1 million people may be pirating, in comparison to DirecTV's 10 million paying customers." Ya know, I really want to pirate DirecTV, but not to get all the channels... just to get a damn FOX affiliate over my dish so I could use my DirecTivo for The Family Guy and That 70s Show. Is that to much to ask? I already pay for HBO and Sci-Fi channel. Anyway, there's definitely going to be a lot more cracking down on pirated dish stuff: they are getting crazy with the protective measures.

    When is the Family Guy returning? Or has it already?

      Err, last season, not last episode. I have a bad feeling that it's not putting out the ratings Fox wants, nor is it getting the ratings it deserves.

      It's on tonight at 9:30 EDT -- it's the fourth new episode of the season, probably its last. I hope it shows up on DVD...

    The redhead is damn sexy!

    And Lois is a damn sexy for a cartoon, too.

  3. Taco and I went clubbing the other night by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Saw this girl at the club. She had on these really cool black, sparkly pants and a really great ass. I walk up to her and tell her her pants were really cool and she thanks me and she seems really nice and we find out that we're both rolling our asses off. So I tell her that not only are her pants cool but also, that she has a great ass. She laughs, thanks me, and says she appreciates my comment because she works out and a lot on her ass, specifically. So I ask her if I can touch it. She laughs again and says "My ass? OK." So I put my hand on her butt and gave a firm squeeze. I got a handful of the most beautiful, bubbly, firm ass I've ever seen or felt (understand that I'm a butt guy, as stupid as that sounds). "Oh my god," I say and she laughs again. So we get to talking and I find out that she's going to go to the other club we're about to go to. "Maybe I'll see you there," I say and me and my friends go.

    I see her at the other club and go to talk to her but it looks like she's with a guy who looks like he's her boyfriend so I just say hi in passing.

    So maybe CmdrTaco is right, that drugs are bad. Because that's one of the downsides of rolls...your mack is both on and off...hard to explain.

    If I see her again, I'm definitely getting her number...or another handful...or both.

    DirecTV were pursuing "Ahoy, matey!" pirates. I'd pay to watch that over the 500-some channels of rubbish they now offer.
