Almost laughed out loud at that one. Seems like it would cost more to make the fake if

Don't think that this one is real. It is on the web for years now and still
reappearing from time to time.
While I can't speak to the provenance of this particular one, Chinese
component clones are a very real, very large problem in the electronics
industry, making it into the industry news media each and every week.
Given the state of the industry at this point, there's no reason at all
to suspect it to be a hoax.
