DVD sniffing dogs.
Flo and Lucky, two black labs, are the latest weapons to be wielded by the brain-dead Big Four record labels and Big Six movies studios in their ceaseless struggle against counterfeiters.
The dogs have been ’specially trained’ to sniff out optical discs, says Britain’s Sky News in a report that’s replete with imaginative video industry loss figures.
It doesn’t explain how the dogs can tell the difference between dodgy discs, legitimate back-ups and the genuine article.
Rumours that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are training chipmunks to detect mp3s should be discounted.

On my word, this isn’t a spoof. But for organizations willing to put young kids through hell for a few more coins, this is nothing.
And doesn’t it say something when the absurd and ridiculous border so closely on what’s happening in real life that it’s often impossible to tell the difference between them?
Cheers!

RIAA losing it’s marbles with something like this is no surprise. But Sky News running with it in a normal fashion is nothing short of a freak show straight out of the Twilight Zone. Chilling to the bone.

Can the dogs detect the difference between a burned dvd and a store bought one. Wouldn’t that be funny.
