Japanese sold sheep instead of poodles

Thousands of Japanese have been swindled in a scam in which they were sold Australian and British sheep and told they were poodles.

Not sure what this says about the Japanese who bought the beasts, if they bought the beasts, but it says alot about people who want to make a 'fast buck', and those who spread the story with delight at the misfortunes of others.

But ... as an idea, I have to admit. It makes me chuckle. Just a bit.
