Germany and Austria are all the rage about this satirical website:

"If you thought XBOX 360 was the hottest item of this year, think again. For only EUR 0.99 we offer you the perfect rip-off (gift). You get absolutely NOTHING. But wait, that's not all! You also get a PDF certificate officially certifying "I have been ripped off by The Great Internet Swindle".

The perfect Christmas gift. "

Funny!

Thanks Sven for sending it in!
