Fakes

Oil is down to about $124/barrel. Apparently we're saved, as demand destruction is making gas cheap again. $124/barrel certainly wouldn't have felt like good news three months ago, but there you have it. Is this actually good news? Here are a few quick items to consider:Head fakes are dangerous. Whether this price drop lasts a few weeks or a few years, it will have the tendency to lull the wo

We usually only talk about women faking orgasms. While no credible research yet exists to confirm it, men have talked quietly about faking orgasms for many years, and it’s now a topic getting some attention in the media . Anecdotally, having spoken with thousands of men and women about their sex lives, I can attest to the fact that both men and women fake orgasms. Why do people fake orgasms? Th

Today I read some of the craziest news I have ever read! Last month in Oceanside, California HIghway Patrol officers announced that several students had been killed in car wrecks. A couple hours pass and students learn that is was a hoax. It is a program called Scared-Straight designed by school officials. Students became angry after they learned it was staged and that their friends were not re

Lindsay Lohan will fake a pregnancy for her next movie role.The actress - who is currently filming a guest appearance on hit show Ugly Betty - will appear in Rick Schwartz comedy Labor Pains.A source tells the New York Post’s PageSix.com,“When she’s (Lohan’s character) treated better by everyone in her life, she tries to keep up the lie for nine months.”That's so LiLo! She might as well do that in real life just to get more paparazzi attention!For the complete gallery click hereCheck out our forum (AC-Forum.tk) for many more posts

Hace poco vimos el cartel oficial de “The Incredible Hulk”, el de “Indiana Jones y la Calavera de Cristal” también, incluso el de otro blockbuster como “Iron Man” ya hacía tiempo que se pudo ver por la web.Pero faltaba un último revienta taquillas por mostrarnos su poster definitivo -no tease, que de esos sí que pudimos ver unos cuantos-. “The Dark Knight” lo ha hecho recientemente. Aunque a mí me ha con un sabor ligeramente agridulce. Por una parte es de agredecer ver el cartel que se verán en los cines de todo el mundo, aunque igual luego nos muestran algunos más, como suele ocurrir en la mayoría de los casos. Pero por otra, no me parece tan impresionante como se ha comentado en algunos sitios. Casi coincido con una opinión que destacaba el hecho de que Batman

Erin Moran is currently on the latest edition of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp and, in the outtake reel above, she pretends to have an orgasm on a bus much to the dismay of everyone on board and, also, my freaking eyes. In the meantime, you might recognize Erin from her days as Richie Cunningham's little sister Joanie on Happy Days and the spin-off Joanie Loves Chachie a.k.a. the show that got Scott Baio more ass than Wilt Chamberlain with a suitcase full of Spanish Fly and ironing boards. Thanks to Rick who's so awesome he'd make Dustin Diamond a sandwich - out of grenades. Video: TMZ, VH1

    Uptill now I have not seen any of the Chinese imitations in real. I only saw pictures of them on the Internet and I thought, If one of those got into my hands I'll spot it's fakeness immediately. However, I saw this video today on a chinese N95 8GB and I must admit that the Chinese have improved much. Now the firmware is almost an exact copy of original firmware too, except that I don't know it's real capabilities. Many people would certainly fall for those devices. Beware! There is this comment on a similar video on Youtube that will show you how worse things have become: SharedJoy said: "I bought 10 fake n95 from eBay.It cost me Australia $220, - each.You know what...., I sold them on 6 different pawn shop/second hand shop for AU$350,- each.Only one pawn shop owner refu

O esoterismo mineiro, contudo, anda a par com o pragmatismo dos tropeiros: ora, e quem acalenta sonhos velhos?

(Above: This is a fake that has been circulating the Internets for the past month; it is not the official Lollapalooza lineup poster for 2008 - notice the poor Photoshop work on the "8" - somebody couldn't find the correct font match.)Festival organizers for Lollapalooza have yet to officially announce one artist for the August 1-3 annual rock fest in Chicago's Grant Park. But that hasn't stopped the rumors, speculation, "wish lists" and flat out fabrications for Lollapalooza's 2008 lineup. Just this past week, the amps were turned up on the rumor machine with magazines like Paste and Rolling Stone newspapers like the Los Angeles Times and the The Grand Rapids Press announcing that artists and bands like Rage Against the Machine, Wilco, Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails are 'rumored' to be hea

From Truth News : Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard has refused to yield to a non-existent media-manufactured "outrage" and recant her comments about 9/11, as some newspapers falsely claim that she has "apologized" for discussing the collapse of the WTC complex and sharing doubts about the official story held by the majority of Americans. Under the headline, Marion Cotillard U-turns on 9/

Here's another of the newspaper columns I wrote for the Surrey Mirror. Just catching up with what I should've posted a while back I'm sick of things being fake. The story that pushed me over the edge was that of a robbery in Woodhatch where fake firearms were stolen from an angling shop. Firstly, why were there replica guns in a fishing shop? Do you try and scare the trout into taking the bait? "Hey fish. Freeze! Reach for the surface." Then I got to thinking, why does anyone need replica guns? In case you want to shoot an impostor?

The anonymous (well almost) British graffiti artist, Banksy, who has made a career of setting the art market on its ear hit the news again with this article in The Art Newspaper: Revealed: the eBay Banksy print fraud. The paper claims to have been tipped off by insiders into a scheme to sell fraudulent limited edition copies of Banksy's work on eBay using shills to up the bidding in the process. Read the story, these fakes were selling for thousands of dollars. Spray Can Rodeo Girl - Banksy This guy is fascinating. Callen Bair, who blogs about art for the Conde Nast publication Portfolio has written about him. Here's a quote from her initial Banksy post: It seems ludicrous, then, that collectors are shelling out tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars for Banksy's works at auction, even if they are painted versions of his designs as opposed to prints. (Pie face done in oil on canvas got $379,446 at Sotheby's London in June.) Of course, Banksy agrees: After Sotheby's made

Art Market Investigation - Fakes, Forgeries and Deception The art world has been plagued by fakes and forgeries for over two thousand years which began largely as a result of buyers being more interested in the aesthetics of the work than who painted it. It was during the Renaissance that artworks became a commodity, resulting in the value of an artwork being directly related to the profile of the artist and consequently making the issue of fakes and forgeries far more important. Advances in technology have bought about new and improved methods of creating forgeries, which make it harder and harder to spot the fakes. The Internet has provided the perfect market place for fakes and forgeries through a lack of regulation, which gives sellers the ability to provide false details, misrepresent goods and generally deceive buyers. The popularity of Australian Aboriginal art has seen the art market flooded with fake and forged artworks, many of which are sold online. In an effort to combat th

Dear Dr Cath...I confessed to my mates that I can fake orgasms. They were amazed and said only women do that. But if I'm stressed I find it hard to climax, so I pretend rather than disappoint the woman. Do other men do this?Dr Cath says...Yes. Surveys suggest half of all men have the odd episode of sexual deception.Tiredness and stress do make it harder to reach orgasm. Advertisement If it happens a lot you may benefit from psychosexual counselling to unlock the reasons behind it. But if it's an occasional pretence to save face and keep the peace, well, where's the harm? We women have been doing it for years!

I recently saw some Sarah Jessica Parker pictures and she was carrying a fabulous Bottega Veneta Hobo Shoulder Bag of woven leather in a lovely shade of pink. I can't really call it "HOT" pink, as in my opinion hot pink has more red in the mix. Bottega Veneta Hobo Shoulder Bag HandbagHere's a Bottega Handbag or tote with chic woven leather that looks much the same as the one that Sarah Jessica Parker was carrying in the picture. Then here's a celebrity designer purse knockoff that once again is not in the right color, but the cheap price might make you want to buy a light cream or white and have it dyed to the color you want!

An ice-cream maker has long been on my list of things I wish to buy for my kitchen, but since quitting my job to concentrate on study in February, money has definitely been one of the things I’m lacking in (well, the purchase of my highly overpriced but much loved Canon G7 probably had a bit to do with that too!). This has left me ice-cream maker-less and pining over my computer every time I’ve seen those luscious ice-cream posts on other food blogs! However, when I spotted this faux banana ice cream on the lovely Lis’ blog ‘La Mia Cucina‘, I literally jumped out of my chair and whooped for joy. Why, you ask? Because this recipe could be made WITHOUT an ice-cream maker! *listens to a heavenly choir a-singin’ in her ears* Ahem. Anyway, we had a stash of bananas, but none were really ripe/bananay enough to give this a try, so thus began the waiting game. A rather dangerous waiting game, truth be told, as my brother has a tendency to devour 1-2 bananas

From Business WeekOn Apr. 6, Beijing announced that it would lower the threshold for the number of bootleg copies seized that would trigger criminal charges. The move is part of an effort to prosecute sellers of pirated CDs and DVDs. But it probably won't impress U.S. motion picture and recording industry executives, who have been lobbying Washington to put more pressure on China to combat rampant piracy and counterfeiting. Bloomberg News reports that the U.S. may file a formal complaint with the World Trade Organization as early as the week of Apr. 9, which will make the allegation that China is not doing enough to protect intellectual property. Here's a quick guide to the central issues involved:Is the problem of counterfeiting getting better or worse in China?Chinese authorities have made honest efforts in recent years to improve enforcement, stepping up police raids on rogue manufacturers, tightening controls at customs to prevent exports, and making it easier to prosecute counte

A [Pennsylvania] school principal sued four former students who he claims posted parody MySpace.com profiles saying he smoked pot, kept beer at school and liked having sex with students.In the lawsuit, Eric W. Trosch alleged that the three profiles created in December 2005 on the social networking Web site damaged his reputation, humiliated him and hurt his earning capacity.The profiles "went far and beyond what you would see on a bathroom wall in a school," said Trosch's attorney, John E. Quinn.Trosch was co-principal of Hickory High School at the time the profiles were created and is now principal of Hermitage Middle School, in the same western Pennsylvania school district.According to the suit, which seeks unspecified punitive damages, a profile by defendant Justin Layshock said Trosch smoked marijuana and kept a keg of beer behind his desk. Trosch alleges that another profile created by Thomas Cooper said his favorite movie was pornographic, and a third created by brothers Brendan

Can you imagine a conservative candidate for the presidency talking to a group of blacks with an obviously fake southern black accent? The outrage would light the night sky in Selma.

Plastic proves to be pleasurable beyond double-D's. Shouting to Hear the Echoes puts out, providing a poll to vote on the sexiest gynoid. A gynoid is a robot designed after a human female. While Femmebots were the first out on the catwalk, a new season has brought a new line. Asking "Which modern-day Gynoid would you most love to spend a dirty week-end with?", the poll provides choices from eight ready-for-you robots. Hopefully bug-free, there shouldn't be any accidental 1's typed in the middle of her exclaimed orgasm. That would just be embarassing.[via]tags technorati : android femmebot gynoid robot

GM says that it will raise prices on some of its models due to rising costs. Somehow the reason does not seem to ring true. Although component parts, like plastic, are more expensive, GM is a company that is taking $9 billion a year out of its costs in North America. It would seem that a little increase in plastic would be offset by such a large number.But, perhaps GM can have its little fiction. It pricing problems are much worse.According to a study released today by Edmund's, the online car buying company, a smart shopper can get up to 30% off the price of a pick-up or SUV now. Just as one example, the GMC Sierra is availabe at 23% below its sticker price. Since Ford and Toyota are also offering discounts on their SUV and pick-up trucks, the market is going to be even more competitive.Some industries do not give the consumer any chance to negotiate price. Gasoline sales are a good example. But, other industries, including cars, are built around a sales experience where the custome

When the Carchemish-hoard, buried in 425 B.C., was discovered it contained more than 3000 coins and also 15 Athenian Dekadrachms. Some of the Dekas came in possession of the Classic Numismatic Group (CNG), a world renowned ancient coin seller. When trying to establish the authenticity of one of the coins, it was revealed that the coin was in fact, a fake. After numerous tests by the International Bureau for the Suppression of Counterfeit Coins to be certain, a "condemnation-certificate' was issued. This awarded the Deka with the title of most expensive fake coin ever!Most expensive fake wine bottles - Over $100,000
