    Hilarius Story!!! 'Japanese fooled in poodle scam...'

    Thousands of Japanese have been swindled in a scam in which they were sold Australian and British sheep and told they were poodles.

    Flocks of sheep were imported to Japan and then sold by a company called Poodles as Pets, marketed as fashionable accessories, available at $1,600 each.

    That is a snip compared to a real poodle which retails for twice that much in Japan....

          The thread title reminded me of a bash.org quote:

          The Fishchaser: we should tell the japaneese we found a planet full of giant tentacle monsters and their females are somehow little school girls
          The Fishchaser: we'll be going faster than the speed of light in a week
          Your post count means nothing.

                  Read the story in my local paper apparently poodles are rare in Japan and most people have never seen one :D

                          But it looks like there could be good money in opening a poodle breading farm in Japan.
