Who's fake...?

Mann, Mann, Mann... die Einschläge kommen immer dichter! Onkel Rawse hat einen lieben Brief von Onkel Louis Vuitton bekommen, der ihn darauf hinweist, dass die von ihm auf dem XXL-Cover getragene Brille leider keine echte ist... peinlich Kollege, verdammt peinlich!


Dear Editor:

We were dismayed to see the cover of the May 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, which features a photo of Rick Ross wearing a pair of sunglasses prominently featuring counterfeit Louis Vuitton trademarks. Because the photo has generated considerable confusion among your readers and Louis Vuitton customers among others, we feel it is important to clarify several points.

The first is that the sunglasses Mr. Ross is wearing were not made by Louis Vuitton, and in fact, are counterfeit. Louis Vuitton did not grant permission to Mr. Ross or to whoever did make the sunglasses to use our trademarks. The second is that no affiliation, sponsorship or association exists between Rick Ross or XXL and Louis Vuitton. The third is that counterfeiting is illegal.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to correct the confusion.

Sincerely,

Michael D. Pantalony, Esq.
Louis Vuitton Malletier

After it was reported that Rick Ross was ousted for wearing counterfeit Louis Vuitton sunglasses by the company Louis Vuitton itself, new details have now revealed that the rapper was actually wearing authentic Louis Vuitton sunglasses which were illegally altered by Jacob ‘Jack’ Bernstein aka “The Sunglass Pimp,” a name given to him by hip hop music producer Jazze Pha. Now, Jacob “The Sunglass Pimp” Bernstein, has responded in his own statement claiming that his customizations are “..the same thing as buying a Rolls Royce and tricking out the entire interior, adding on a body kit, adding on the rims” adding that “after all that, you’re not going to call the Rolls Royce counterfeit. Just because the product has been customized by me does not take away from the fact that the frames are authentic Louis Vuitton Millionaires,” Jacob “The Sunglass Pimp” Bernstein added. However, Louis Vuitton is now involved in a class action lawsuit with The Sunglass Pimp for altering it's trademark property and selling it without permission.
