exceptional exultation / exacting exile

i was waiting for bambi at work last night, so i passed by the friendly neighborhood pirate. since we have only recently bought our dvd player, it's only now that i'm building my dvd collection. anyway, i was observing the other dvd buyers, and i noticed that they bought dvds of The Ten Commandments and The Passion of The Christ. immediately, a couple of thoughts entered my mind:

  1. why are they buying dvds that will be shown anyway during the upcoming lenten highlights?
  2. considering that they're gonna watch "holy" movies, why are they resorting to pirated copies?
  3. do the non-christian sellers care that they're "increasing" the christian belief system? or are they just like us, whatever sells should be sold?

==================================

i'm stocking up on dvds because tomorrow we'll be off to batangas again for the Holy Week, or as i call it, going to exile again. i hope we stay in lipa because at least there, we have cable. but if we're in tanauan, i'm pretty sure i'll go through those dvds fairly quickly. oh well, at least i can swim or make up for lost sleep! he3x! :P
