Title: Fake iPads made from clay
Post by: MIB on January 17, 2012, 06:37:31 PM

This story reminded me of the trick of of buying dial-up modems and replace the circuitry of crushed soda cans

Fake iPad 2s made of clay sold at Canadian stores (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/fake-ipad-2s-made-clay-sold-canadian-stores-220733489.html)

shit.. if anyone has recently purchased one of those crappy overpriced tablets, now is your chance to get another one, or your money back.. bring in a slab of clay to the store and tell them that this is what you bought..

I read about this stuff happening all the time on Consumerist.  Another popular replacement item is ceramic floor tiles, since they're heavy and can be cut into any size.  Last year a friend of mine bought an external hard drive and inside it was a block of drywall.  Whenever I purchase expensive things now, I usually check the box before I leave the store to make sure it's actually in there.
