has anyone else seen this ad on Tv for this crap. First of all is it real and second who in their right mind would buy a DVD about how to spot fake Mini's

I guess if your dumb enough to buy a fake one you get what you deserves

my firends dad used to import "counterfeit" minis - sorta
he would have to fake all paperwork and numbers to import them into them into the usa - air emmisions on the newer models didnt comply with regs - so he would bring in 1990's models and said they were from the 60's and 70's
customs never knew the difference

he sold some to people on murder, inc.

Did you know they actually took the word "gullible" out of the latest edition of Webster's Dictionary?

For its client, Mini, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, it seems, has created a site for a ficticious group called Counter Counterfeit Commission, an organization whose apparent mission is to rid the world of counterfeit products. The site has a photo collection of tricked out vehicles purported to be fake Minis. It also has video footage of a police dogs sniffing out fake Minis trying to make their way into the country, a $19.99 consumer alert DVD detailing the apparent underworld of counterfeit Minis and even a phone number answered with a message machine by a guy code named "Bosco" claiming to be doing undercover work in Brazil and Copacabana.

The site is engaging enough with tips on how to detect a fake, an area to upload photos of fakes and rate their fakeness quotient and a victim support area where those who've been had can get support materials.

In your effort to prove yourself smarter than everyone else, you probably missed the 20 posts or so pointing out the same thing; except ours were funnier and less self satisfied.
