While…

Mole Kart for iPhone, It’s-a-Not-Me!

Nintendo’s lawyers just got more work thrown their way. Mole Kart is a Mario Kart… knock-off for iPhone that you will probably never see via the App Store. It doesn’t look half bad for a rip-off, but then again all you really have to do is throw in some mushrooms,

When Knock-Offs Go Bad: Louis Vuitton Phone Belt

I have seen a bunch of stuff over the years with the brown and gold leather bearing the iconic Louis Vuitton logo. I have never liked any of the real Vuitton products that used the fabric, and I certainly don’t like this fake Chinese rip-off. This has to be one…
