Have you ever wondered if a review of a book on a site such as Amazon.Co.Uk is genuinely from a potential consumer, and not the author? Such deception will be illegal within the European Community from December 31st, when a European Directive makes
“falsely representing oneself as a consumer”illegal. Perpetrators can be shamed or taken to court. This includes fake blogs - ones set up to sell products surreptitiously.
Since a fake blog sets out to flog you stuff, some are calling them Flogs. i.e. Fake Blog. Some called a food log a Flog, but I think this term may catch on.
I don't know any faking floggers myself, but they should be ashamed of themselves. Roll on Christmas.

why should they be ashamed of themselves? If people are gullible enough to buy in then why spoil their fun.
Imagine me with a superior grin as I wryly said they should be ashamed.
Floggers may take away my own readers ...
Perhaps 'Public Floggin' should come back into society as a result or, even just for the sake for this arguement! I mean wouldn't it be great to see internet floggers publicly punished? You know even like in the good ol' merry days of medievil times?
