No Joke

I knew it would eventually happen and a couple weeks ago it did. Those $3,000+ Louis Vuitton bags that I entertained the notion of buying for about ten seconds started getting copied. There’s nothing subtle about the fakes; they’re completely garish and the one thing I had hoped would happen did: they misspelled all the bad jokes. The real (currently $4,300 on eBay) The really bad knock off ($35) The better but not great knock off ($200) At least the cheap, super ugly fake got the spelling right. I found another style that mangles the bottom joke even further than the bag pictured above, “I’ve been mamod for thirty yeays and I’m stiu in love with the same woman.If my wafe ever tinds out she’ll killme” It’s like poetry. And I do appreciate the seller's gift giving advice, "Give you wife or girlfriend on holiday." The sad thing is that I’m too cheap to buy the so-so counterfeits. Do these atrocities really costs hundreds of dollars? I need to get over to Chinatown and find out.
