As reported by Stuart Ewen at WHERE THE TRUTH LIES:

At Hunter, Pro-Business Group Buys Course for 10K

Hunter students were enlisted as free labor to develop a guerrilla marketing campaign for the IACC as an attempt to change attitudes about knock-off goods; the result was a fake blog written in the excited, materialistic voice of “Heidi Cee”, a young woman devastated over the loss of her precious Coach handbag. Students in the class distributed fake leaflets offering a $500 reward for the bag and later updated Heidi’s blog with a triumphant post when the bag was returned. But the reunion was bittersweet, as Heidi soon deduced that it was not only a different Coach bag, but also an counterfiet. . . - The Gothamist
