Seriously. The man has no fear of police, just connected people. That by itself just makes the country that it happens in look bad, even if there was no such thing as an internet.

This could have been a story about him gaming the Yellow Pages by getting 18 phone numbers and 18 business names in 18 sections, each name prefixed with 18 'a's.

All the internet assures is that his customers will get the product home before checking it for quality, and that the customers are less likely to be local - but that doesn't seem to intimidate him in the least.

Not that the story doesn't highlight a serious flaw in google's search, but that's the least of the story for me.
