Courtesy of my nephew Ryan, it has come to my attention that dozens of English people have written fake reviews of the Bic Crystal Ballpoint pen on Amazon UK going back to 2007.
Follow the link to amazon UK and scroll down to the customer reviews. The 1 star reviews are especially good. Some of the comments and titles are individually very funny (see for instance 'Left handers beware', 'Use caution in a medical setting' and 'Not edible') but the true wondrousness here is that there are 181 comments - all false - all trying to outdo each other in creativity and humor (or should I say humour).
If you like your yuks the way you like your gin (dry) peruse if you have some time to kill and can tolerate some good old fashioned, unfiltered Britishness.

I especially liked this one:
I ordered these delightful looking Bic pens a few weeks ago, and sat intently waiting for their delivery. When the post finally arrived on that bitter Tuesday morning I leapt up in excitement to collect my pens from the friendly Postman.
On opening the package, however, I was dismayed to see I had not been sent my requested Bic pens, but had instead been sent a large 14th century sword.
I have found the sword useful for many menial tasks in and around the house since its delivery, but it is not much use for writing with. It scores or tears the paper, rather than leaving a line of ink.
Despite this I am reasonably happy with my purchase. It is a good job I didn't have to send this review by letter.
Thanks for all of the links, Frank, just in case we missed one of them.
People have been writing for nearly 2 years, latest entry yesterday. This is penomenal.
tooooo funny !
