Totally bogus ‘Black Belt’ watch
Somebody with an overactive imagination in Cuckoo Clock Land is attempting to sell this so-called Belt Belt watch that the company says is:
“The first watch in the world that money can’t buy!*”
The shady deal is….
In order to buy this watch for 3,000 Swiss Franks (2,966.94 USD), you must first submit “proof” of your black belt certificate listing its issuing date, Dojo, Sensei, and Federation. 
However, as you can see on the right, anybody make up a fake black belt certificate and email it to the Belt Belt watch company.
There is no way for the watch company to check to see whether the certificate is real because there are a bazillion small martial arts studios and dojo—Martial arts “Federations” do not keep records of students who are not competing).
Therefore, I, Taro the Terrible, 9th-dan, proclaim all readers of the 3Yen.com are Black Belts!
Go ahead and fill in your certificate.

Ha, ha, that’s good one.
(The Japanese are the least Bushido/Buddhist/brave people on the planet. I always tell folks if they, ‘want to study Karate go to Korea–Zen go to Northern California.’)
