Dayum!
Federal authorities made one helluva haul during a six-week sting operation dubbed "Operation Holiday Hoax".
The majority of the 327,000 items seized in the US, Mexico and South Korea were counterfeit fashion items like Jimmy Choo, Rolex, Uggs, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Prada and Coach valued at $76.8 million.
In Los Angeles alone, the feds took $4 million worth of merchandise with fake True Religion products making up 70% of the seizure.
So far, no one has been arrested, but deputy special agent in charge of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Kevin Kozak expects arrests will be made once they find those who are responsible for manufacturing, importation and distribution.

We feel sick.
Fake Chinese Uggs are made by literally skinning raccoon dogs alive.
The animals are smashed into the ground, which we can assume is to try and stun them though it doesn't appear to do anything since they're fighting and writing around the whole time.
Then their skin is literally peeled off their bodies as they struggle, unable to do anything.
Once their skin is completely gone they are just tossed into a pile, still alive, waiting to die in agony.
And that's how Chinese knock-off Uggs are made.
There is a video of all of this actually happening on camera on youtube that we are NOT including because we couldn't make it past the 15 second mark of it's over six minute run time.
Don't buy fake Uggs.

We love us some Nicki Minaj. The girl is talented and uncensored.
After the MTV Movie Awards this weekend, Nicki opened up about meeting Kristen Stewart.
The singer presented Stewart with one of Twilight's many awards that night and the two seem to have bonded over their crusty shoes!
Reveals Nicki:
"[Kristen] had shoes on that didn't hurt her feet. And she didn't care that they looked really kind of crusty. But I did too! I had my Uggs on backstage. So that made me bond with her. She's cute."
Ha!
