If only we'd thought of selling pirated DVDs,
CDs, and PlayStation / Xbox / PC games out of the trusty Engadget ice cream truck to the impressionable youth we've
long since been pushing sweets on, but alas that scam has apparently already landed one William Agnew in the slammer.
Dude got busted and fessed up to selling such wares (warez?) by the truckful -- literally -- after being caught with
four thousand pirated discs. So to all you would-be software copiers out there looking to get in on the racket,
remember: intellectual property theft may well get you put away, so stick to the straight and narrow and just keep on
peddling sweets to increasingly sedentary obese kids with type b diabetes, ok?[Via Joystiq]
I'm sure Peter Kay did this in a comedey sketch in "That Peter Kay Thing" years ago
Could have been worse. He might have been selling crack!
Is it me or does that animation of the pigs look like something a child molestor might draw?
In that peter kay thing he was selling porn videos not pirate games
Mr. Softee Top
"If it wasn't for the porn, this business would be on its arse!"
That was dirty vids i think...didn't he open up a 'book exchange' when he quit the Ice Cream game?
stupid to think that a kid isn't gonna brag about where he got his new copy of king kong from.
Yeah, but who would let their kids buy stuff from the Engadget Ice Cream truck anyway... :)
hey those pigs are the world famous 'Pinky & Perky' so leave 'em alone. Mmm I must check out my local ice cream man!
It definitely could be worse, He could be molesting children instead of peddling warez.
Well, as terrible as it is...it's pretty funny too. He was pretty smart to think of that. Too bad he should have just found a real job.
Hey tard - It's Type II
To Serg - Watch your mouth - tard is a rude thing to say.
Please repeat after me. "Intellectual Property Theft does not exist and can never exist."
You can infringe it but you can not steal it.

Serg - LOL - good one, it is Type Two ...tard tard tard tard tard tard tard tard tard tard tard tard tard tard tard. Type "b", good lord.
Sorta like the "Old Dope Peddler" by Tom Lehrer:
When the shades of night are falling,
Comes a fellow everyone knows.
It's the old dope peddler,
Spreading joy wherever he goes.
DVDs and Nutty Butty Cones have long been a favorite. First there was Fast Food - now drive-up Warez... Progress is a wonderful thing!
Haha, royally owned!
