I'm a knock-off Nigel...

[bon3yard]

...does this make me a bad person? ::o

[Annasfield]

Shocking.

[Jah Lush]

No, You're a very naughty boy. Don't tell Dulwichdahlia though she'll want us to grass you up. Oh! I see you've already owned up so fair enough.

[bon3yard]

Does DulwichDalia work for The Federation Against Copyright Theft or FACT...does she talk Scotch? Is she portly and slow witted? Besides it was never really theft it was simply temporary reappropriation...

[HonaloochieB]

Knock-off Nigel? Unless I'm terribly mistaken, and I'm usually not you've got a brother the name of Terry Toe-Nose.

Could I prevail upon you to ask him to get in touch with Gavin The Wig.

It's to do with a game of cards.

And a marker.

Don't you mean Jimmy two times? :))

Just got word from Gavin The Wig. He reckons he'd wipe his arse on Jimmy Two Times' mother's Sunday hat. And see how they'd both like it.

I don't know why he's being so provocative.

I mean, how would I?

What am I, his rabbi?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

It's that Jimmy Five Bellies you've got to watch out for - especially when ordering kebabs.

I will of course pass on the overall sentiment and general sense of the message to Gavin The Wig.

I won't apprise him of the specifics, particularly the choice of words. He may become inflamed.

And no one wants that. Bird's nest soup, eh?

Capiche?

Mr Yamaguchi would like to remind Mr Wig to think of the future, not his short term goals.

And here is a message from his less erudite associate mr Gokudou:

Icehole is it? Sounds like the gangster villain from Johnny Dangerously.

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Top marks Mr Bon3yard, if you are entering the affray, watch out, a new challenger appears!

Mr Gunjin is about to fire indiscriminately into the crowd of gangsters.

Gavin The Wig asks me to let you know that he's familiar with 'arseholes' in the sense of the vernacular you're employing.

He's not seen them divided by such large G strings apparently. He's interested in the picture on the right, though and would like to know if he can get it framed.

He adds, respect, bowing and blah-di-f@cking-blah.

I don't think he means offence.

But who knows?

After all, what am I? A Roman Catholic priest in a confessional?

Could have been one time, possibly, but maybe that's one for the reunion at the Vatican.

Post edited. Gavin The Wig says it's none of your bastard business why and that you ask too many questions.

Does anyone think the Knock off Nigel advert is a grim and blatant attempt to manufacture social pressure to make DVD or music copying a shameful activity.

[SeanMacGabhann]

it's grim and rubbish as an advert

Music copying I'm less bothered by but DVD copying (and computer games) I'm less partial to. I used to do loads, god knows - but in the end I stopped because I realised I had become more interested in quantity than quality and didn't appreciate them as much. Plus I had started to copy things which I actually would have bought - so my old defense of "well I wouldn't have bought it anyway - the artist is losing any money" started to be not true

Basically, without any adverts, I started to feel grubby and ashamed

[Brendan]

Yeah it was just last week I was singing a James Blunt song in Sainsburys and got slapped with a ?5.76 fine or 3 months non-consensual bumming in a medium security facility.

Admittedly I deserved it.

[giggirl]

I'm very confused. What's a "knock-off Nigel"?

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

But Brendan did they supply any lube?

[Brendan]

You would have though so wouldn?t you? All I got was a play station and counselling.

I realy should have just paid the fine.

[SeanMacGabhann]

giggirl

It's a really annoying advert - often show at cinemas - which shows a pub scene where the patrons starting singing a song at some bloke buying dodgy DVD's - altogether now "he's a knooock of Nigel, he's a.." etc etc

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I just hate the blatant attempt at brainwashing by using humour to convey a slimy message. Most artists don't give a shit about copying - it's the big corporations pushing this.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Not sure I agree with you there - certainly the ones I know scratch a living from gigs and CD sales - if some are happy to give it away to generate audiences then fine, but if some aren't then I get that too

You are right about the self-interest of the majors - just don't let that blind you into thinking the message is inherently wrong

[Brendan]

There is a big difference between copying something and sharing it with people for free and copying something and selling it for a profit. As has been pointed out earlier on this thread it has something to do with men who have names like Fingers and drive Lincolns so probably doesn?t affect us here in this tiny little province of Europe.

Anyway did anyone get the underlying metaphor in my last 2 post or was I just being a prat?
