Yesterday, we reported on Indiana residents who were duped into buying flat-screen tvs on the street that, upon opening at home, ended up being oven doors. How could anyone be duped by such an inane ruse, we asked ourselves, chomping cigars in our pleather armchairs. Below, detail of the packaging used to wrap the oven doors.

For starters, the the oven doors were expertly packaged using with real flat panel TV packaging.

In the left panel of the picture at right, you can see one of the faux flat panels. Adjacent, one of the victims.

Make of that what you will.
