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....

Hahahahah, how would someone fall for that!!

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

That suuuuuuuucks!

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

What are they thinking?

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

This is just fucked up....
... how can people mistake sheep for poodles???!!??

that lil guy looks nothing like a poodle.
