Totally Fake Recall: Buy Proof of Trips Not Taken (http://www.livescience.com/scienceoffiction/060724_fake_trips.html)
Persey Tours, a travel agency in Moscow, was a failure at offering real tours. It has achieved success in recent months, however, by offering fake vacations instead.
For just 13,460 rubles (about $500 in American currency), Persey Tours will sell you all of the stuff you would expect to have after your exotic vacation: faked ticket stubs, hotel receipts and even photos with your picture professionally superimposed on exotic landmarks.
Just give Dmitry a call; he even faked a trip to the Moon for $2,000—the fake trip of a lifetime for a Siberian gas station owner who wanted to fly to the Moon on Russian space craft.
Science fiction fans will recognize this capitalist impulse—it comes straight from the 1990 film "Total Recall," which was taken from the 1966 Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale."
