Woman pleads guilty to selling fake beer
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — A woman pleaded guilty Wednesday to selling on eBay three nonexistent cases of Duff brand beer — the favorite of cartoon character Homer Simpson.
Tara Edith Woodford, 28, pleaded guilty in the Mackay Magistrates Court in northern Queensland state to three charges of dishonestly gaining money by false pretenses. Prosecutor Gavin Burnett told the court Woodford was paid a total of 1,951 Australian dollars (U.S. $1,511) by three separate buyers after advertising the bogus beer on the eBay Internet auction site. Duff is the beer brand of choice for Homer Simpson and his barfly friends in the animated U.S. television series The Simpsons. In the mid-1990s, two breweries released their own "Duff Beer" in Australia until legal action by the creators of The Simpsons and the Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. took the beer off the market. Fox has a policy of refusing to license The Simpson's merchandising for products that would be detrimental to children. Duff beer is now a collector's item and cases can sell for as much as A$1,000 (U.S. $774) on eBay, according to Lorraine Gledhill, the treasurer of the National Beer Can Collectors Club. Buyers paid money into Woodford's bank account, but contacted police when they never received the beer. Woodford was caught because she listed her correct name and address on the auction site, the court was told. Woodford's lawyer Phillip Moore said she committed the scam to buy Christmas presents and clothes for her four children. Woodford was placed on 18 months' probation, and was ordered to reimburse the money and undergo counseling.

I've learned 2 things from this...1) Duff Beer was actually made (cool) 2) Australian money isn't worth ****

lol A bar downtown re- labeled a tap "Duff". It was a dollar draft beer, and I think it was watered down Southpaw

She's lucky she didn't sell it to Homer then not deliver because he would be Down Under hunting her ass down by now.

It is just a re-labeled beer then and actually those bars could get in a lot of trouble for calling it Duff. Fox licensed the name a long time ago and forbids anyone from making any beer called "Duff" because they don't want to promote anything through the show that isn't safe for kids since it is a cartoon.

I know it walks the line but the argument is, a bottle opener isn't soley for the purpose of opening beer bottles, despite what sound effect it makes.

I don't know if anyone else did the same - but I immediately started to think of the "Big Boot" episode of the Simpsons that parodied the caning of the American in Singapore, but instead Bart was to be punished by being kicked in the @ss by a huge boot in Australia
