    I love the commitment to the bit by only offering movies from the early 2000s.

    Not sure if intentional or not, but this dude also looks like the world’s most obvious undercover cop, which adds another layer to the costume.

      Offering Phantom Menace but neither Attack of the Clones, nor Revenge of the Sith, would be the dead giveaway

      You wouldn’t shoot a Policeman and then steal his helmet. You wouldn’t go to the toilet in his helmet, and then send it to the Policeman’s grieving widow, and then steal it again.

      If we had replicator technology to enable downloading a car, then it wouldn’t even matter that it would put a good chunk, if not most, of the auto industry out of work.

      Though I wouldn’t be downloading any of today’s new cars. Maybe modded versions, and there’s probably a few exceptions that haven’t been thoroughly enshitified.

      With the amount of issues I’ve had with pirated software, I’d make damn sure I was getting that car from a trusted site, though.

    I would do this if not for the irresistible urge to make full use of this treasure of an opportunity to look and act like a pirate in a socially acceptable context.

      The actual PSA slogan was “steal a car”. It only turned into “download a car” in a meme edit. This guy’s just committing to the bit.

        It was changed because the original ad is bullshit. I would steal cars all the time if the original car was left behind and what I “stole” was an exact duplicate. The owner still has their car, I just copied it.

        Edit: obligatory “if buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing”.

    Funny. This doesn’t look like a roadside stand in Neuvo Progreso, Mexico selling elote en vaso and badly cammed copies of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
