Smile Funny Pics of Counterfeit Products
My first topic here at CGR. Hope you like it.

Just some pics I've taken of the unusual counterfeit/knockoff products for sale over here in Southeast Asia. These are actual products.













If you all like these I've got a few more I can share.

Thanks, RK. The X-Boy was the one product that "almost" fooled me. It looked the EXACT same as a real X-Box. The only difference was it had a $10 price tag. After another quick check I saw the "y". lol

I'll post some more later.

Glad you like them. Here's a few more from near where I live.



This one was taken over in Laos. The shop-owner had no idea Toy Story 3 hadn't been made yet. When I told her it's impossible to have that DVD she just thought I was wanting a lower price. lol

I like the cool ranch Adidos better than the nacho cheese Adidos....

these are great. I definitely find the fakes funnier than the poor English signs (the Engrish stuff)

These are always hilarious, but they confuse the living daylights out of me. Why bother with the misspelling on the counterfeit? Are the intellectual property rights in Asia so screwed up that textual trademarks are protected while graphical ones are not? Yeah... use Snoopy's face, the Toy Story characters, the X-Box logo... but don't put the right name on there!! That's just wrong!!!

This negatively affected my tone in ways that I just can't describe.
Then, on a whim, a few years ago I wandered into a Bath and Body Works store at a local mall and picked up some of their gentle foaming anti-bacterial hand cleansers.
The difference in my guitar's sound is so wickedly improved that I no longer feel the need to buy a new amp or pedals or even strings...EVER!
So, it's my belief that tone is in the soap.
Thank you and goodnight.

The funny thing is that the "Gips'em" Les Paul I owned for a couple of days played better than some of the low-end Gibsons and mid-range Epiphones I've played.
