MarginalRevolution peddles fakes
I found the following in my email a few days ago:
I regularly surf in google, and I came across The Marginal Revolution, where there is a painting and a nice comment of yours about Pedro Figari [TC: the link is mine]. This is enough motive for me to write, but more precisely because the painting is a Figari fake (coincidentally I own the legitimate one!). My current life and whatever is left of it you can appreciate in www.pedrofigari.com. If you have any doubts, suggestions, questions, feel free to email me, and I will be only too pleased.
The man is a descendant of Figari, but most of all a lover of art.

The third floor of the Centre for Contemporary Art (COCA) in Christchurch, New Zealand regularly features work by young artists (high school). On Sunday, they had an exhibit of art by secondary school teachers. One painting looked like a painted rendition of a collage of celebrity snapshots from People magazine; the explanatory notes on the painting quoted Tyler Cowen from the New Zealand Listener saying that we've entered into the capitalism of fame (or some such; can't recall the exact wording).

大家好，我是臺灣人，從臺灣一個人搬家來到美國，環境很陌生，感覺很孤單。以前在臺灣幾家知名的徵信社工作過，我是一個優秀的徵信工作者，希望早點找到適合自己的工作。希望通過貴站，認識更多的朋友。
