Fake Sony blog is gift that keeps on giving

Sony_1 Sony continues to get crap for its fake PSP blog. Here’s an entertaining spoof site: All I Want for Xmas Is a PS3. It includes an amusing list of “10 ways to let someone know you want a ps3.” All of the suggestions are pretty good. No. 1, of course, involves creating a fake blog: “On this blog put extremely bad ‘rap’ and ‘rock’ videos and say things like ‘teh’ and ‘wut’ and speak L33t as much as possible so that it’s painfully obvious to everyone that visits the site that you’re a phony (hey, that rhymes with sony) while making a complete ass of yourself.” Meanwhile, if you missed it, Consumerist has uploaded the original Sony blog for your enjoyment.

BMW is also responsible for a painfully bad fake weblog - http://www.bmwe36blog.com/ It puports to be written by 'Tony Sticks' who "recently purchased" ... "this cool addition to the BMW range". Oh please.

Interestingly, the domain is registered not to Tony Sticks, but to software developer 'Bassam Jarad' who likes posting spam to messageboards: http://www.epanorama.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=38346&sid=4726529911d08a811dcda89b8ecf6b14.

Come on BMW!
