It seems MINIUSA and their award winning ad agency are at it again. This time they’ve created counterfeitmini.org. Here’s an excerpt from the site (best read with heavy sarcasm):

At the CCC, we’re dedicated to putting an end to the victimization associated with purchasing a counterfeit MINI Cooper. We cooperate with MINI and international law enforcement to pursue criminals. But there’s one other crucial partner we need to recruit: YOU. We can’t do this without YOU. Educate yourself about the problem. Learn how to detect a fake. Know when you’re being hoodwinked. Together, we can put an end to this appalling injustice. Together, we can make our streets genuine once again.

Hilarious. Check it out:

I found out that my mini was actually two sport motorcycles duct taped together! I was shocked and appalled that someone would try to sell me that garbage!

I think I really need this DVD. A year ago I bought what I thought was a Mini Cooper. 6 months later I took the “car” into my mechanic, and was shocked to find out that my “Mini Cooper” was not a Mini Cooper at all but A FAT KID!!! Neeless to say I was horrified, and when I went to return it and get my money back, the trailer where I bought it had myteriously gone missing. All I have left to do now is take the fat kid to the vet to be put down, buy that DVD, and make sure that this time I get a real Mini Cooper.
