Genuine Fake

Here are some tips for spotting a counterfeit product:

• If your “pharmacist” also has some watches he thinks you’d like, it’s probably a red flag.

• Counterfeit electrical products, such as power strips and batteries, can cause fires and even electrocution. If you suspect you might be buying fakes, be sure to haggle for a really good deal.

• The guy on the Polo logo is riding a horse, not a camel. Or wait, maybe it is a camel. I never really looked at it closely. Nah, it’s a horse.

• Cars made with counterfeit parts are everywhere, and you might purchase one without knowing it. This is still better than owning a real Saturn.

• If you notice t-shirts with non-sensical phrases, like “Let’s Coffee!,” “The Wonderfully Throbbing Christmas” and “Booger 69,” you’re in Chinatown. Keep an eye out for Kurt Russell.
