Ripped OffA friend who worked in a second hand record shop told us about a Japanese guy who regularly bought "rare" records in their shop. One time, he was looking for a signed copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks".
They didn't have one. Four people and one magic marker later, they did. Ker-ching!
How have you been ripped off? Who did you rip off? Are you a British Gas customer?

Murderdolls / Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13 albumsThose ARE a rip off!
When the Murderdolls album came out, I did some research. And promptly discovered that in a fair quantity if the tracks were fact Murderdolls tracks were originally F.D.Q's.
Turns out Wednesday 13's first band was getting nowhere. So, "What a wizard wheeze" it was to get Joey Jordison and a guy from Static X to fool the entire world with a new band and *allegedly* new tracks.
Miss Pantenewoman couldn't care less, blindly defends them and purchased the re-issue with 5 "new bonus tracks". Again, they are F.D.Q. tracks.
The great rock swindle indeed.
Speaking of this, it seems to be Roadrunner Records favorite pass-time to re-release albums with killer bonus tracks and extra linage notes written by Blah Blah.
This said, the cynical / luddite could argue that DVD's are a swindle vs VHS. Complaining of paying an extra couple of quid for "Cool bonus features and out takes".
Which has now been restarted by Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. Great!
