Original or Pirated?
Frankly, SIL and I would be the only people in our family who buys original CDs or DVDs. I buy less than 3 CDs a year, so can still “afford” it. Besides, with so many good radio channels around, who really need a CD when driving? SIL likes to collect those mussy Korean and Taiwan soap operas, and the original versions have nice pictures of her idols.
Hubby only buys pirated DVDs. He said he’ll only watch them once, why waste money? As for songs, he lagi teruk, will look for MP3 which stores hundreds of songs!!! Sigh, no wonder some artists are complaining that they’re earning less even if they’re all dressed up in Gucci or Versace.
Everyone knows it’s a crime, but can we really resist the pirated CDs which are cheap, almost as good as original, and save up lots of money? Lots of people go to pasar malam not for the food or clothes, but wander around those CD stalls, don’t they? If the originals can be cheaper, which is not possible lah, maybe pirated CDs won’t have such a big attraction.
As for ladies, some really like to flash around with their fake LV handbags. Once, I saw a si lai holding a LY handbag and I almost burst out in laughter. I’m not sure if she knows that LV is branded, or she doesn’t mind taking a fake one anyway. It’s just look funny to me. Why not just buy any normal non-branded handbags which look good and cheaper if can’t afford it?
When I was having a vacation in Korea, we went to this shopping complex where they sell lots of fake and A class handbags. The sales person claimed that the goods are as good as the originals, but so much cheaper. I didn’t get any, really. Why should I buy one if I can’t afford it? No point right? By the way, no need to go so far also can find fake stuffs from ci cheong kai or Haayai lah.
