Watermelongate

[flymo]

Don't know why but this story from the local news here just made me laugh. Maybe it is the way it is worded - forged watermelons.

Customs officers have arrested three men on suspicion of selling watermelons bearing forged trade marks. The shop owner and two staff members were detained during an anti-counterfeit operation at the Kowloon Wholesale Fruit market.
Officers seized more than 130 boxes of the forged watermelons.

It seems that there is no end to the temerity of some people, they will try to pass anything off as genuine...Ok it was the trademark being forged not the fruit itself (I hope) but still made me giggle.
