There's been an increasing amount of Bad Lad traffic on the net recently, and I was doing some checking on Google. For quite some time there's been a couple of Chinese sites listed for Bad Lad. The first is a listings site - like a Chinese imdb, but I'd never clicked on the second, assuming that it was similar. So, this time I clicked on 'translate this page' and up popped a very major Beijing registered Film and everything else site. And, there in front of me, is a Bad Lad DVD with a cover constructed from a screengrab from the amateur porn scene. Hell's bells, I think, it's out as a pirate in China! Now, on this 'Bad Lad' page there are a couple of buttons where people can register whether they like, or don't like the film. And the 'likes' totalled 5,332 and the 'don't likes' 1 - yes, you read that right - one. Wow, I thought, dancing round the room, have we got some fans in Beijing! OK, so that's at least £20,000 worth of revenue we've missed out on, but I hadn't expected we'd be out in China anyway. What an amazing story.
