You wouldn't shoot a policeman! And then steal his helmet!

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You wouldn't take a shit in the helmet and leave it on his doorstep for his grieving widow to find!

[–] Matty_r@programming.dev 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then steal the helmet back again!

I might copy a car if there wasn't any other way to get a car because it was no longer being sold and wasn't available in any other way.

I wouldn't steal one. But I would download one. Hell I'd 3d print one if that was possible.

I’m old enough to have voted when that was airing and had completely forgot that it actually said ‘steal’ and not ‘download’, lol

Wasn't the music for this add stolen, so they had to stop running it?

[Edit: yeah, it was the font, that sounds right].

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

As the article discusses, copyright status of the music is uncertain, but the font was definitely stolen!

[–] bzLem0n@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was the font that they stole from what I heard.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Y’all….

?

I heard

Just read the wiki page. It’s not 100% confirmed or explained in the article, but if you’re curious enough to comment there is a very digestible piece linked to the thread you are commenting on!
