It’s a SQNY! And other bootleg electronics, such as Panasoanic and Rikon. (found via Geisha Asobi)
The site is in Japanese, but the pictures linked in the left frame should speak for themselves…
Oh, and those PolyStations? They’re nothing more than NES clones in PlayStation clothing. You’ve got to wonder how many people were misled by them…
And here are some more cases of industrial plagiarism found via Google. My favorite? PieOnEar. No, really.
I liked Pie on Ear too. And what’s with that shoe that has the logos of a camera manufacturer and a car manufacturer on it?
And what’s with that crazy stuff they’re doing with Adidas?
“LIKE”? Heh.
“Gdivon Klose” — not even Klose. *awaits groans*
And interestingly, the company responsible for those mistakes apparently knew the correct spellings, because they usually appear in the accompanying text… Heh.

The accompanying text (and, for that matter, the site it’s on) was actually by a trademark consulting company. Of course they know the proper spelling– they’re trying to stop these pirates from using the improper ones…
