  • Movie title rip-offs

    Ever since watching a Friends episode where they passed reference to a “swedish documentary” by the name of “Good Will Humping” I have wanted to find a list of titles of regular movies that have been ripped off by this industry. However – I have never quite felt comfortable searching for such information. Today I overcame my fears and performed a few searches here are the results…!

    The following is a list of movies that I am happy to report that I haven’t seen but that nondesputedly are terrible rip-offs of movie titles adapted to suit the porn industry! I have made a small subset of the less offensive ones…

    – Cliff Hanger = Cliff Banger
    – Gone in 60 seconds = Done in 60 seconds
    – Free Willy = Free My Willy
    – Good Will Hunting = Good Will Humping
    – I know what you did last summer = I Know What you did with the Plumber
    – Men in Black = Men in Back
    – Schindlers List = Schindler’s Fist
    – Saving Private Ryan = Shaving Ryan’s Privates
    – The three Musketeers = The Three Musket Queers
    – You Have Mail = You Have Male

    CORE INVESTMENT STRATEGY
    It is with trust and confidence that I make this urgent important
    proposal to you in
    view of the fact that you are trust worthy
    and reliable. Currently I have a business that I think would be of
    interest to
    you and your company.
    I am the Western District Bank Manager of UNION BANK
    of Nigeria PLC. However, there is an account opened in
    the bank in 1993 and since 1998, no body has operated this account
    again. After careful
    investigation, I discovered that the owner of this
    account was the president of ARC CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LTD, a
    foreigner who died in 1998. the account has no
    beneficiary at present and investigation and proved
    that this company does not know anything about the
    account, the total amount is US$25. 5 (Twenty five
    Point Five Million United States Dollars Only).
    In light of the above fact, I need your assistance to
    handle this transaction with you,thereby providing
    your bank account or any account of your choice where
    this fund will be remitted. Your assistance as a
    foreigner is necessary because the management is ready
    to welcome anybody preferably a foreigner who has the
    correct information of the account which I will give
    you immediately, if you are capable to conclude this
    transaction with me.
    Now that the management of the bank has ordered that
    all dormant account will be frozen. On the strength of
    this order, I wish to make advantage of this situation
    and present your company as beneficiary and get it
    transferred to your designated account. Be informed
    that all documents related to this transaction will be
    destroyed immediately after the transfer, since every
    arrangement to transfer this fund to any account you
    will provide has been concluded.
    Furthermore, no receiving your positive response, I
    will apply for annual leave for our fact to face
    meeting in your country for the sharing. I will give
    you 20ètal fund for your assistance though
    the percentage is negotiable and I will not contact
    any other person until I am convinced that you are not
    interested.
    I will like to have your phone and fax number for easy
    communication.

    Best regards,
    BELLO AFOLABI

    It is his humble pleasure to write me this letter,irrespective of the fact that I do not know him. He pleads me that I for no reason should you see any part of this mail as fake or assume that they [he] must know me before we do any business.
    BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
    Dear Sir,
    It is my humble pleasure to write you this letter,irrespective of the fact that you do not know me. Please for no reason should you see any part of this mail as fake or assume that we must know you before we do any business with you.
    However, I got your contact through a a reliable friend believed to be a resident of your country although i did not disclose my intension of writing you to anybody. i have all believe that you must be a relaible person that i can trust. My name is Bar. Hamza Ali Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and a close family lawyer to our former late military ruler, General Sani Abacha who died suddenly in power some years ago.
    Since his untimely demise the family has suffered a lot of harassment from the regime of General Abdulsalaam Abubakar and even this present civilian government. Recently, the wife was placed under house arrest in furtherance of the policy of Vendetta being visited on the family. Although a lot of money has been recovered from Mrs. Abacha since the death of her husband by the present government, there are still huge sums of money in foreign currencies saved with some outside security company in Europe. Mrs. Abacha has showed me documents of where the
    husband deposited US$20m (twenty Million United States Dollars) in a security vault for safe keeping.
    It is the decision of the Family to keep the funds in the security company to avoid trace to the funds Because all other funds deposited in a sepcial accounts in Europe and America was recovered by the Government.
    Since, we have been deliberating on how to invest this fund abroad in a confidential manner until we came to a conclusion to use it to buy houses and part of it will be used for safe and non-speculative investments in your country or Lebanon. But I have chosen your country for the investments and would also rely on your professional advice for any safe and conducive country to invest in. Therefore, you are to fax me immediately the prices of houses in cities of (Highbrow area) in your country for us to know how to put our budget.
    This money US$20Million can only be processed and received in Europe since it has already been defaced for security reasons. If your conditions are good we will prepare you as the beneficiary of the total fund because we have the documents already with us. The Security Company has called me and Mrs.Abacha to do something about claiming this consignment because of the demurrage it is incurring and we told them we would come and claim it very soon.
    You have twenty five percent, while ten percent will be for the expenses incurred on both sides and sixty five percent will be for us, if you accept to help us with this project. I want you to please understand that I am involved in this issue because I am Madam Abacha’s confidant. You are therefore to contact me on my private email hamzaali@tatanova.com Please remember to include your current private telephone and fax numbers. If you keep this project secret, we will be prepared to do more business with you.
    Expecting your urgent response.
    Yours faithfully,
    Mr. Hamza Ali(SAN)

  • Natal (Brazil)

    Natal (Brazil)

    Having been a pronounced enemy of beach activities most of grown up life I didn’t quite know what to do with close to 1000 km of sandy beaches at my hands feet. However, a hundred or so drunk, and increasingly sun burnt, Scandinavians had a perfectly good idea what they wanted do, making the beach an altogether disagreeable place to spend time…

    One of the less striking features of Natal is that all the taxis seem to drive around with near empty gas tanks… With an average income of some 75$ a month and a gasoline price of more than 50 cents a litre this is a small wonder, but still we spent some time pondering at it… Could also be a strategy to get more tip… Who knows.

    Food, in Natal, comes in remarkably large portions, with excellent allthough not too spicy taste and at a price that is far below what would be expected as service fees by a european waiter… Allthough I have previously taken pride in never giving up a meal I had to give up on numerous occasions in Natal.

    Naturewise beaches is the thing in Natal. Along the coastline where Natal is located there is a near 500 km long beach, broken only by the odd cliff. To the south of Natal you’ll find the most beautiful beaches (from a scandinavian perspective) with steep shorewalls at the back end of the beach and small pictoresque villages like Pipa. To the north you’ll find the most magnificent broad sandy beaches like Genipabu beach.

    The sand and the sand dunes has made the Brazilians develop a profession; buggy driving. A beach buggy is a car built on a modified Volkswagen Beetle chassis and is a small open car which is used for the purpose of driving around in the sand like a madman.

    Being a long term, heavily pronounced enemy of everything that is related to beach life I had envisaged a rather unpleasant stay. Such was not the case…
