Has there been any articles or videos or anything about the people/companies that make bootleg DVD covers? Because they HAVE to know exactly what they are doing, and probably spend all day laughing their asses off.

Or they don't, but I like to still imagine that they think their bootleg dvd is going to sell as well as the Avengers movies.

Then find out it is not so and become quite sad.

When I was deployed, we bought a lot of bootlegs from the local bazaars. Most seemed to originate in China, which lead to every description being hilarious. The single best thing that happened was we got a copy of Jason vs Freddy, and it had a subtitle option, which could not be turned off. It was obviously written by someone whom it was their second or third language. (Was that a correct use of whom? Who just didn't sound right.) Other than weird phrases, it also had the best mistake. They switched the names of Freddy with Random Male Victim Greg or whatever his name was. Which lead to people reading the subtitles and, "Why did she just say 'Run, Greg is coming!'?"
"Because Freddy is Greg in the subtitles."
"Then who is Freddy?"
"Freddy is Greg."
"Ok, who is Jason?"
"Jason is Jason. Look, man, I didn't make the loving thing. Either watch Greg vs Jason, or gently caress off and quit asking questions."

All systems nominal.
The best guidance on the use of "whom" I ever got was to imagine you're talking about a man. Try using "he" or "him" in the spot where you're wondering whether to use "who" or "whom," and see which one makes more sense. If "he" sounds better, then use "who." If "him" sounds better, use "whom."

I'm sure there are exceptions because English, but it seems to work.

The bootleg of 28 Days Later my dad picked up from ??? was like this. I'm under the impression most people found this film scary but I laughed most of the way through from the loving "Engrish" subtitles

I had one of those, but the front wheel fell off and I had to get rid of it.
The flood of Hello Neighbor ripoffs on the Android store is baffling. I thought most of them came out before the game was even released, and it's nowhere near as popular as something like 5 Nights at Freddy's was when it came out. Is it just because it's so easy to slap together a clone from free assets? I can't imagine there's that much demand for it.

All you have to do is buy "grody man", "house", and "basic pathfinding" and boom, instant mobile gaming masterpiece (or reasonable unity facsimiles thereof).
