Some things never change.
When I was growing up Cabbage Patch dolls were the craze. I remember reading someone was trampled on in the store and was killed just trying to buy one of these dolls for Christmas. Very sad.
Now a days, you have to not only watch out for crowds, or thieves breaking into your car in the parking lot, but also people selling China knock offs. Though the originals are made in China, I find that ironic.
I see your point OP, and your right. Its madness.
What we have become.
