fake mobile phone stores

Just laughing at some of the fake mobile phone stores out there advertised with Google adwords. Phonetastica is way beyond a joke. Today I saw e-mobileworld.net. After noting that they take only Western Union payments (which screams "fraud"), I looked at their "About Us" link (misspelled "AbousUs.html"). I noticed the gif at the bottom and remembered reading on a forum somewhere about another fake store which stole graphics from somewhere. Sure enough, when I typed "enterprise_ppl" into images.google.com, I found the image was from this site. Why can't these Nigerians put some effort into their fake stores?

schwarzer is a legend

John Safran removed the curse on the Socceroos with Johnny Warren's help and now we are through!! I couldn't believe it happened. I wish I could have been there in Sydney coz my flatmates were not exactly excited by it. Well. Recoba can take that "divine right" and shove it up his arse!!
