Title: Ummm, That's Not A Poodle....
Post by: TehBorken on Apr 26 07 03:35
 [h3]Sheep sold as poodles to Japanese         [/h3] Thousands of Japanese people have apparently been scammed into buying "poodles" that are actually just sheep with fancy haircuts. The scam came to light after actress Maiko Kawakami showed a photo of her pet poodle on TV and mentioned that it "didn't bark and refused to eat dog food,". After being informed that the poodle was a sheep, police lines rang with other rubes telling the same story. From the Metro.co.uk article: [blockquote]'We launched an investigation after we were made aware that a company was selling sheep as poodles,' a police spokesman told The Sun.

 'Sadly, we think there is more than one company operating in this way.

 'The sheep are believed to have been imported from overseas - Britain and Australia.' [/blockquote] [a href="vny!://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=46730&in_page_id=34"]Link[/a]

omg.....OK.....maybe I don't understand the ways of the world, but wouldn't someone have to have been living under a rock to have never seen at the least, a picture of a lamb or a poodle?

  (I want these people at my garage sale.  I believe I will be able to get rid of absolutely EVERYTHING)

Are you sure that you want people saying that they got your goat?
