Brazil leader watched pirate DVD

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva watched a pirated copy of a popular film during a recent flight, the government has confirmed.

Officials said the president's advisers had been responsible for obtaining an illegal copy of the Oscar-nominated film "2 Sons of Francisco".

The president was "saddened" by the revelation, Brazilian media reported.

Lula watched the film during a trip to Moscow in October - well before legal copies hit the market.

"RED-HOT Poodle Suckers Hit Las Vegas", perchance?

1. This is news?

I can't believe this was even a local story, nevermind an international one.
