Holy Isotopes!
Someone falsely claimed to have three cases of Duff Beer for sale. She took the money and, of course, failed to deliver.
In the mid-1990s, two breweries released their own "Duff Beer" in Australia until legal action by the creators of The Simpsons and the Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. took the beer off the market. Fox has a policy of refusing to license The Simpson's merchandising for products that would be detrimental to children.
Duff beer is now a collector's item and cases can sell for as much as A$1,000 (U.S. $774) on eBay, according to Lorraine Gledhill, the treasurer of the National Beer Can Collectors Club.
Buyers paid money into Woodford's bank account, but contacted police when they never received the beer.
Somehow the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
Woodford was placed on 18 months' probation, and was ordered to reimburse the money and undergo counseling.
Counseling? For what? Alcoholism? Not selling Kwiki-Mart Hot Dogs?
