Piracy in China is smart, hilarious, critics say

BEIJING--"We Dine in Hell!"

If that were a real battle cry uttered in the Persian War, just think how much different Western Civilization would be today.

Instead, it's the slogan emblazoned in large letters across a pirated copy of the movie 300 that some guy in downtown Beijing wanted to sell to me. He wanted 20 RMB (China Yuan Renminbi), but the price quickly went down to 10 RMB, or about $1.30. He didn't realize the comic gem he was holding. The four or so other guys who pestered me tried to sell 300, too. Their copies had the same movie poster art on the cover, but with the more appropriate "We Die in Hell."
