UK law goes into effect this May banning fake blogs

Wal-Mart, Sony and McDonalds have all tried to deceive the unsuspecting blog reader in recent months.  In the UK, they have decided enough is enough.

Specifically, the law would ban the use of ‘fake consumer blogs’ which mislead real consumers. Called the “Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008”.

Several examples have been observed in the past, including the following:
- Wal-Mart created a fake blog called ‘Wal-Marting Across America’
- Sony created a fake “All I Want for Christmas” blog about a boy who only wanted a PS3 for Christmas. 
- McDonald’s created a blog called ‘4Railways’ where ‘someone’ wrote about their desire to get all four railway cards in the McDonald’s monopoly game.

Rest assured readers, this is not a fake blog entry.
