Ten hilariously bad fakes
24.1.2018
Translation: Eva Francis
Counterfeit products that infringe on copyright and patent are a real hassle, but the following ten attempts might make even the brand owners smile.
«Good artists copy, great artists steal,» as Picasso is supposed to have said. He didn’t, but it’s a witty saying and the following product pirates obviously took it to heart – and failed spectacularly.
1. May I introduce: Star Wnrs
Let’s take the Millenial Flacon for a spin!
2. May I introduce: Stars Warsiors
Martial Arts meets Star Wars. Fun fact from Dominik Bärlocher: The mould of Door Ladder is taken from here.
3. May I introduce: Star World
I think Darth Vader’s breast might keep me up at night.
4. May I introduce: E3PO
E3PO phone home.
5. ...with this thing
Designed by USA, probably by Steven Job himself.
6. High fashion
Come on in, we have fruity fashion!
7. Finally united: Rolex and Disney
In line with the clothing above. For anyone who has an expensive and frisky taste.
8. Burger or pizza?
Welcome to the place where burgers are flat and pizzas have toppings.
9. For e-mails that are clean deep into the pores
This soap keeps spam away even if you’re offline.
10. Michaelsoft
I heard they have a great support team.
