Dancing Mickeys
 
Don't fall for the Dancing Mickey con in Venice, Rome and Florence. It is amazing how good their con is!!!

<BR>Please, could you possibly expand on that? What exactly should we be watching out and not falling for???

Hey LOL! <BR> <BR>There was at least one post on this a while ago, so maybe a search will bring it up.

I saw these on a TV report. It is a scam. They use a very thin wire hooked up to the motor on the hidden walkman.DO NOT BUY ONE. It will not work like it is shown.

HA HA <BR> <BR>I stood transfixed in Venice for about 5 minutes looking at them (NOTE the irony in that statement). <BR> <BR>A British guy, about my age or younger, stood next to me, equally transfixed. <BR> <BR>he said one word: "confusing" <BR> <BR>before disappearing into the crowd. <BR> <BR>it was funny, actually... <BR> <BR>:-)

I videotaped Mickey as I walked thru the Forum in Rome.

NOW I know what you are talking about! <BR> <BR>I probably would have bought one in Paris except the guy selling it was such a thug! <BR> <BR>It's like that "spray on hair" infomercial that is, apparently, the most successful Infomercial product of all time - its all in the marketing!
