Strange Bedfellows: Shanghai Daily and Ka De Club

Does anyone else find it odd that Shanghai's most famous/notorious bootleg DVD shop is advertising in Shanghai's most famous/notorious state-run English-language newspaper? What does it say about Shanghai's "war on piracy" when Ka De Club, routinely raided by police, has the balls to take out an ad -- and that Shanghai Daily, which reports on those raids, runs the ad?

Of course, flipping though last Wednesday's print edition (we found it over the weekend while at Huashan Hospital ... inner ear infection) it is apparent that Shanghai Daily is in no position to refuse ads from anybody -- really, hardly any ads at all. Perhaps it is a wise business move for the paper to team up with an illegal DVD store that grossly overcharges its customers.
