Chinese Authorities Find 88 Types of Fake Samsung Phones in Beijing
In China, the Samsung cell phone has become the new Louis Vuitton handbag. Which is starting to piss some people off -- first and foremost, the folks at a little company called...Samsung. So in cooperation with Beijing's Haidian and Fengtai Industry and Commerce Departments, the Korean electronics giant has identified 88 fake varieties of its mobile phones floating around Beijing.
The fake phones used such misspelled names as Samsumg, Samsong, and, uh, "Amycall" -- which, apparently, those with a rather undeveloped understanding of the English language often confuse for the real thing.
Try saying "Samsumg" 10 times fast. Impossible, right?

Those little bastards have hurt the arts and collectilbes industry in this country in a big time way. From fake old silver dollars to fake art, fake pottery and the list goes on and on. You are dealing with a country that couldn't care less about what its people do as far as this fake crap, as long as it isn't speaking bad against their country.
