The natives are getting restless. We’ve moved past the point of faking new Apple products or new features, straight on into faking invitations to made-up Apple events. Seriously: in what other field do people invent invitations?
Boasting a line from “Auld Lang Syne,” and a picture of the Earth and moon, the fake invitation—which, at first glance, looked to me more like a mousepad—speaks of an event on February 1st at Moscone West. Of course raising the philosophical question: does one need a fake invitation to get into a fake event?
Since the invitation was allegedly sent to someone who worked at a Mac magazine, we confirmed with our brethren over at Macworld—even that was probably overkill since, as many of the commenters point out, the use of the wrong typeface on the invite was pretty much a dead giveaway. There’s also just something about the whole design that looks too, well, crappy to be Apple-produced. It’s too complex, with too many colors.
So, no Apple Event on February 1st. Oh well. Looks like we’ve got a little later to wait for our next round of announcements. And, hey, look: the Superbowl’s next weekend.

Look how small the Apple logo is. Someone sure didn't do their homework.
