Dr. Scientist Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 "An American blogger has discovered three fake Apple stores operating in Kunming city, China." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14236786 http://birdabroad.wordpress.com/ Fucking amazing. I love shit like this, I'd also love to know where they're getting apple computers, iPads, iPods, etc. . . from. Would be awesome of someone running a manufacturing plant in China, hired by Apple, was just making extra stuff and shipping it out to stores like this, probably not the case. . . but it would still be awesome.

Dr. Scientist Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 why doesn't someone just start a Yahoo news story of the day thread and be done with it? Because yahoo doesn't tell me what my fellow 12oz users think about certain topics.

LEVEL 75 PALADIN Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 why doesn't someone just start a Yahoo news story of the day thread and be done with it? I feel like it's been the same threads on CH0 for the past year. I don't know if people stopped coming here because the content sucks or the content sucks because people stopped coming here. Maybe the user base just sucks now I don't know. Nothing but internet memes and "you mad." Untitled and Brick Slayers are still on point, but I find myself coming here less and less. /end rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hear about that, guess it wasn't a Yahoo News Story. Some German guy I know used to buy iPhones, program them to work in Europe, then fly to Germany with a suit case full of them, then sell them off for triple the price. I just can't get over these guys opening stores and modeling them to look like a legit Apple store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHATEU Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Would be awesome of someone running a manufacturing plant in China, hired by Apple, was just making extra stuff and shipping it out to stores like this. there is a percent of "bootleg" stuff that is produced exactly this way. so your not really buying bootleg fake but just something thats not part of the numbered edition so to speak... i just saw this story on Yahoo and thought to myself this WILL be in zero by ends day... im not surprised by this move anymore, its the norm in here now...

Obigatory: MUST SEE comment added YES! thread worthy FOLLOWING the freeing of 1000 children held as slave workers in brick kilns in China, a new report reveals a nationwide network of Fagins living off more than 4000 stolen children trained to steal and beg. A boy who has escaped to a government temporary welfare shelter explains: "We have 16 adults and four children in our gang, living together in a very hard place to find. The adults all carry knives, and train the children how to steal, then threaten people who we steal from, if they complain. "They force us to pick up coins from boiling water as part of our training to snatch things quickly. If we miss the coin, they beat us with a belt. One 11-year-old boy tried to run away, but he was caught and almost beaten to death." The "big brothers", or Fagins, who run the gangs set the children daily targets, from about $100 to $350, to hand over. If they fail, they are beaten. The Fagins extend their control by getting the children addicted to drugs, and by sexually harassing the girls. A child trained to steal, can be sold for $1000. These children are Uighurs, members of the Turkic "ethnic minority" who comprised 90 per cent of the population of Xinjiang in China's northwest when the People's Republic was formed in 1949.

TheoHuxtable.. Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 There's no way the Chinese government doesn't know about it. As intrusive as they are; you send an e-mail saying you like Democracy, and they're busting down your door. Yet you can blatantly open a fake Apple Store in the middle of town and they don't know about it? They're either in on it and making a commission themselves, or they just turn a blind eye and don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
