I was watching "Have I got News for You" last night when an item about rich Japanese woemn had been conned into buying sheep that had been sheared to look like poodles, think ing they were poodles. Whether this is an urban legend or not I found this article whilst looking around http://au.news.yahoo.com/070427/23/1398y.html
Baaarmy if you ask me (Sorry for the pun )
Apparently it turned up in the Sun newspaper in the UK and they never let something like real facts get in the way. What do you expect from it, The Sun is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
