Just curious: Has Emmett outsourced or are these faked Sticks?

They just offer "all kind of sticks":
"Our Sticks Products: hockey stick, memory stick, usb stick, walking stick, glow stick, lacrosse stick, pogo stick, drum stick, magic stick, chapman stick, popsicle stick, wooden stick, pool stick, joy stick, candle stick, talking stick, incense stick, bully stick, glue stick, arcade stick, hair stick, cue stick, light stick, dip stick, devil stick, flash stick, swizzle stick".
Quite a weird way to advertise :D

As the link I posted in my original mail shows mostly serious detail information, eg. about the history, I'm still curious whether this is one example of well known chinese product piracy or not.

I contacted them by email. Time will tell whether I get a response or not. If I get sth. I'll post it here.

I've seen this with other stuff--basically some kind of webcrawling bot sucks up info from other pages and posts it, assumedly to increase traffic from other searches. It's making searches more and more of a pain. :roll:

I don't understand how these websites work...
Does it make money off adds?
Is that all it is a search engine trap to make money from adds?

This is a little more real, but it's no Stick:



The same seller has tons of really whack guitars and basses...



Why? I like how the soundholes on the right side kinda look like :o

BTW, the "Stick" he's selling has no truss rod. According to the seller it doesn't need one...
