One year in Ukraine I thought I didn't have any friends any more, but it turned out they were all holed up in their apartments watching pirated episodes of House on their laptops.

That car theft analogy is flawed: cars are owned by individuals, for the most part. As much as we love HBO, it's not a person who needs episode 1 of Game of Thrones to drive to work every day. A certain amount of theft is always built into the corporate business model.

TYPOS ON THE INTERNET? THEY MUST BE STOPPED.

I was in the former USSR when this came out a few years ago. It was pretty big there, because Slavic people like simple morality tales where nothing is ever really at risk. Also, Russian women are, IRL, totally slutty, just like in this movie.

MK for the wii sucks one.

I have to go return some video tapes.

Soooo wait. How come they haven't heard from Bobby? Like, when someone arrests you, the first thing you get is a lawyer and a phone call. You don't just vanish into the prison system. Another thing - Bobby got arrested AT A PRISON. You don't stay at a prison just because you get arrested at one. Prisons are for…

I met him once! I shook his hand. Now he's in jail. w00t!
