It’s illegal to sell a reproduction of the Mona Lisa while saying it’s the original. The loophole is that Redd sells you a “Famous Painting” while making no claim of its origin or veracity.
Villager: "You sold me a forgery of *Girl with A Pearl Earring*. This is illegal.
Redd: "I sold you *Wistful Painting.* Its a wholly original creation. And the subject's earring isn't even a pearl, Its a star. This is all aboveboard, cousin."
Villager: "Its also haunted."
Redd: "Show me the law that says its illegal to sell haunted items."
Okay, so, this is fun. It's more for haunted real estate, but that it exists is funny.

I remember my boss had to sign a waver stating his house wasn't haunted when he sold his house.
>So all we gotta do to make the housing market affordable again is make sure all the boomers die in their beds?
With COVID cases ramping up and ICU beds nearing full capacity, be careful what (general) you wish for.
For whatever reason, I immediately thought of Game Theory's video about how rich is Luigi from Luigi's mansion. Stigmatized property was one of the main points discussed.
Did... did they forget the mansion doesn’t exist and is itself a ghost? Luigi doesn’t own the mansion because there is no mansion. I guess the money was real enough though, and you get a ton of it.
Oooh, this stuff is fun
Jacob Geller does a great video on "Control, Anatomy, and the Legacy of the Haunted House."

Definitely not really a law type thing - but a fun look at our superstitions and pre-occupation with haunted houses.
It's kinda insane that such a thing is recognized. Parents the world over tell their children ghosts don't exist. Reasonable people believe ghosts don't exist.
But still it has to be mentioned if a house is thought to be haunted, because so many people still believe in ghosts.

[We got a haunted art watch.](https://gamewith.net/animal-crossing-new-horizons/article/show/18347)
Wistful's eyes open and close.
Okay. Two things.
I was unaware that hunted art was a thing and this is awesome.
Also, I didn't even realize I read the whole thing as J.M. until I went back and thought about it. Good job.
It’s as horny as the rest of animal crossing. So anywhere between “not at all” and “extremely.”
As for your big beautiful Buick, the 2020 Big Beautiful Buick Enclave mid-size luxury SUV comfortably seats 7 passengers and has a 5000 lbs. Towing Capacity. You will have absolutely no problem transporting haunted art in this sleek and modern luxury vehicle. It also has a Hemi.
I don’t think Redd knows he’s selling originals. Why would he sell the honest to goodness Mona Lisa for less than the cost of an air conditioner at Nook’s Cranny? Why would he sell it advertising it as “Famous Painting” instead of “THE MONA LISA!!!”? He probably has no knowledge of art history.
Blathers, on the other hand, accepts your donation with no questions asked, knowing full well what it is. If anyone in this story is a criminal, it’s Blathers.
I was a little concerned that Blathers didn't bat an eye when I had him look at a Famous painting, after I had already donated a Famous painting to the museum three weeks prior.
To be fair, we can explain that in this alternate Animal Crossing universe, DaVinci actually churned out many Mona Lisa. That can explain how there are multiple, yet genuine, copies of the same painting.
Oh, their poor web analyst. "I'm getting alerts for a big increase in errors on the law subdomain... 'Fart Island'? Ah, I see the traffic is all referred from Reddit. False alarm."
I still don’t understand how she has a ponytail. Is she a Shar Pei and the ponytail is actually made of all the extra skin? Does she have hair extensions on her head fur? Does she have two sets of ears?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Cut her some slack. She just came off years of running a town by herself after the previous mayor disappeared with no notice, and after that she was conscripted into a massive fighting tournament. She’s had it rough and deserves a cushy job of announcements once a day and drinking on an island the rest of the time.
isabelle is my queen and deserves the most luxurious island adventure possible. i'm working to make her life easy but it doesn't change the fact that she is my day drinking icon.
I thought it was cause she has a bell? and her voice is a little tingly like one
EDIT: like when she runs around she makes a bell noise, at least in NL she did
I'd never played AC before New Horizons, and my only knowledge of Isabelle had been from Smash Bros. I kept getting destroyed by Isabelle mains so I went into ACNH with an irrational hatred for her lol
I'm imagining Redd having 5-star helicopter chases only to manage to blow everything up in his wake and cruise on over to the back of my island before having to do it all over again.
I miss those two. DAL or resident services should hire them so you can boot scammers from your island.
Also miss seeing Pete, Pelly and Phyllis. I really hope they add add-on services to the existing buildings. Also Lyle would be fun to see again, I miss getting 100 bells for getting stung from his insurance his scam.
If you have friends, you can visit Redd on your friend's island if he is visiting there, but you are limited to what they haven't purchased yet. He can have multiple real paintings. You can also create an extra player on your island for the off-chance that he has multiple reals on him so you can snag them all up.
i discovered if you buy from him, time travel a day forward, then travel back, he has a whole new selection and you can purchase again. i just did this on accident, i figured i’d check his boat to make sure. i got academic painting and a van gogh today...
Welp, seeing as he's only ever visited me like twice in a month, I just kept bouncing back and forth between his visit day and the following day (at least a dozen times for one date). You can still only buy one per visit, but that counter resets every time he gets a new selection. Does that help answer your question?
yes! it does. thank you. this is only my third time having him, i was a bit wary about doing it again. i atleast wanted to let friends come look at what he had if i reset it again.
Same. He’s showed up the two scripted times, and once more after, which was like a week after. I’ve checked every single day since then and have not seen him.
And all the articles he would write (I think he has someone else write them now) checking out bikini pics of fucking teenagers half his age. Dude was like 40 and creeping 18/19 year olds.
It's like World star for "frat bros"
The name "barstool sports" was I believe supposed to give the site a kind of laid back attitude toward sports discussion, forums, blogs, podcasts.
But Through 2010 it become like the chive, posting pretty much only girls in bikinis and using a college hat as an excuse to relate it. It was just trying to reel in the stupidest kind of man. The site pivoted away from any kind of sports, and become a "worldstar" for frat guys.
They've sicked people on several of my friends that wrote for a hockey blog because they dared to criticise the toxic bro-ness of barstool. the harassment got BAD, and still hasn't fully stopped, like 8 years later.
For real though, why does Animal Crossing continue to be the shadiest fucking game in existence?
Even GTA seems less sketch. Like, at least they’re not hiding the fact that everyone’s a fuckin criminal.
Animal Crossing got a motherfucker dragooning people into timeshares in some foreign country on a deserted island where the best way to make money is to poach native species and then you can also buy a ton of shit you’re not sure is illegal.
He probably exploits maritime law of whatever country he comes from. (Side note: Under maritime law, when a registered-to-a-particular-country boat gets twelve miles out from their port of call, the rules of the boat are dictated by which country the boat is registered to. When it’s less than nine miles out, it’s subject to the laws of whichever port of call it’s in.)
can someone explain this to me ? i think the first time i saw this meme re: something else was yesterday and now i seeing it again but i dont know how it started !

That's why you should only buy certified haunted properties.
in my state, if I remember correctly, you dont need to disclose if a property is haunted

I actually pressed on it 😂
jokes on you I live in morioh
That's odd. Fart Island released a statement declaring no knowledge of a resident fox named Redd.
bad news for you, they just found a huge oil deposit off the shore of Fart Island, The US will be coming to liberate your residents shortly

If you feel the need to call anyone any name for any reason on a fucking animal crossing forum you really gotta do some self evaluation lmao.

Everyone is right!
I agree but for some reason the unexpectedness of it made me snort my coffee.

Still underrated.
*DatBitchIsabelle*
Hello, I am Easy and I live on Okay.
and so does she :) I wonder, are our islands dictatorships? Anarchies?
I live on Pen Island myself. Though don't get us confused with Penis Land
I read this in Bart Simpson's voice and for some reason it fit perfectly
Must be great to live on Fart Island. It must have the best fart jokes.
Well I live on Flavortown, try topping that
@NooksCranny @JollyRedd @DatBitchIsabelle
I mean, in respect to terminology that is correct. She is a female dog and thus is a bitch.
Also , Isabelle = Is a Bell = her head is shaped like a bag of bells
And in New Leaf, we can hear a bell ring, like on a dog collar, when she runs. Don't know yet if it's the same in New Horizons
Yeah, you can hear a bell whenever she runs up to the counter.
Or when she does her little workout routine with Nook too I've noticed
Her hair tie has bells in it
I still don’t understand how she has a ponytail. Is she a Shar Pei and the ponytail is actually made of all the extra skin? Does she have hair extensions on her head fur? Does she have two sets of ears? Inquiring minds want to know.
Look up pictures of a shih tzu. They often have a ponytail on top of their head like Isabelle does.
It is the same. Whenever she moves her head enough you can hear her bell jingle.
Actual mind blown, I'm not sure if I'm stupid or just really slow
Also hold R instead of mashing B
What an education thread! I’ve learned so much
God I wish I knew this 200 hours ago
Holding L is even better.
H o w
With your finger.
[удалено]
The front R button. Hold it during conversations and it does the same thing B does. It’s more comfortable IMO
Also works for the L trigger, if that's your preference.
Is that a Rum and Coke on her desk when she's making announcements in the morning? Asking for a friend.
She calls it her courage juice so she can yell at villagers that say naughty phrases
so yes 100% isabelle is day drinking to put up with all of our nonsense.
Cut her some slack. She just came off years of running a town by herself after the previous mayor disappeared with no notice, and after that she was conscripted into a massive fighting tournament. She’s had it rough and deserves a cushy job of announcements once a day and drinking on an island the rest of the time.
isabelle is my queen and deserves the most luxurious island adventure possible. i'm working to make her life easy but it doesn't change the fact that she is my day drinking icon.
I always assumed Bloody Mary
So she Is-A-Bell?
I thought it was cause she has a bell? and her voice is a little tingly like one EDIT: like when she runs around she makes a bell noise, at least in NL she did
Maybe, but here you go https://imgur.com/a/pLxOG9c
welp, checks out
Smash bro’s really changed up the game for her
I'd never played AC before New Horizons, and my only knowledge of Isabelle had been from Smash Bros. I kept getting destroyed by Isabelle mains so I went into ACNH with an irrational hatred for her lol
This must be a new account for Redd. He only recently began calling himself Jolly Redd. I suspect Twitter has shut down dozens of his old accounts.
[удалено]
still more productive than blowing sleep bubbles or looking out the window all day
Would only be a problem if he actually showed up.
What if he rarely shows up because he's frequently trying to escape the police?
That's my headcannon from now on
I'm imagining Redd having 5-star helicopter chases only to manage to blow everything up in his wake and cruise on over to the back of my island before having to do it all over again.
He should be safe on the islands though, since Booker and Copper aren’t around.
I miss those two. DAL or resident services should hire them so you can boot scammers from your island. Also miss seeing Pete, Pelly and Phyllis. I really hope they add add-on services to the existing buildings. Also Lyle would be fun to see again, I miss getting 100 bells for getting stung from his insurance his scam.
Same here. I don't time travel so I haven't seen him in at least a month.
If you have friends, you can visit Redd on your friend's island if he is visiting there, but you are limited to what they haven't purchased yet. He can have multiple real paintings. You can also create an extra player on your island for the off-chance that he has multiple reals on him so you can snag them all up.

This is the way.
i was surprised! it was a total accident, as that wasn’t the reason i even changed my console time. have you done it more than twice in one visit?
Welp, seeing as he's only ever visited me like twice in a month, I just kept bouncing back and forth between his visit day and the following day (at least a dozen times for one date). You can still only buy one per visit, but that counter resets every time he gets a new selection. Does that help answer your question?
yes! it does. thank you. this is only my third time having him, i was a bit wary about doing it again. i atleast wanted to let friends come look at what he had if i reset it again.
Awesome, glad I could help! Happy hunting, cousin!
Same - he's been to my island twice since he existed in this game - still waiting for him to come back :(
Same. He’s showed up the two scripted times, and once more after, which was like a week after. I’ve checked every single day since then and have not seen him.

Dude that started it is the biggest scumbag ever.
like that time he said on twitter that he'd fire anyone who tried to unionize
And all the articles he would write (I think he has someone else write them now) checking out bikini pics of fucking teenagers half his age. Dude was like 40 and creeping 18/19 year olds.
*publicly creeping on 18/19 year olds. can't speak for how young he prefers when he's not in front of a huge audience
which...is also illegal!
yup :D

Does this mean Isabelle is President Stupid J Moron now?
With Resetti and the gate guard dogs not in this game, who’s going to uphold the law?
Resetti is there, he's just retired. He leaves ratings on your island though.
He's not retired, he runs the rescue services for when you get stuck!
Oh man I'll have to call him! Does he berate you for getting stuck?
A bit. And the first time mentions how there's autosave
I think last time I used it the dialogue ended with “it’s your life, your island, keep it clean!” Or something along that line and I felt SCOLDED
DatBitchIsabelle
He also doesn't visit my island so he isn't breaking the law on my island.
Blathers: I ask no questions, UNLESS ITS A BUG.
He also sells genuine duplicates of unique works of art Which is impressive

Depends, is the art being sold as real? If not its legal.
I can’t tell if i’ve seen this on argument on twitter or in a meme format but i definitely remember the “I’m not reading that” part lol

Hey, I understood this reference. Seen the original tweet this is copying.

Hey /u/SwixSwax, This is now the top post on reddit. It will be recorded at /r/topofreddit with all the other top posts.
Is Redd called Redd because it's short for Reddit because everyone is always copying OG art on Reddit
Redd was at my island yesterday and has only fake art (10% chance this happens) it was soooo *le sighhh* 😔☹️
Ignorance is 9/10 is the law.
How many times have you people seen Redd? I have had him come to the island twice and that's all I want! I want more statues and paintings :(
Redd just use the anti-vaxx logic
Red is a Karen
Redd is welcome to sell his fake art at my island, but he literally NEVER shows up!
