The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Wasn't the music they used pirated too?

I'd always heard that but I recently found out from a similar discussion on Lemmy that the pirated music story unfortunately comes from a different advert.

Oh yeah. Now that you mention it I had heard that before. Ah well, it woulda made a good anecdote.

Also, fuck them: I've downloaded more cars for GTA IV (the last great GTA game, I'll die on this hill) and Cyberpunk than I've been inside of IRL.
