Farington University - Known diploma mill

Diploma mills require little, if any, academic work in order to earn a degree. Degrees from diploma mills are sometimes based on life experience alone or a level of academic work that is far below what an accredited postsecondary institution would require. Diploma mills can require little or no work but the result is the same, a degree that has no value and is meaningless.

His biography says "University of Western Ontario" not Farington. I am requesting a clarification from the poster. Thanks.

Thanks, Guest. That $299 and five day wait has had an incredible return for Chris- a job at HLA with a free place to stay for him and his dogs.
The real question is though, which is worse:
1) Having a fake degree from Farington University (AKA FU) or
2) Being busted for lying that your degree is from an actual university?
I'm leaning toward number two from an ethics and legal standpoint but can see the arguement for number one as child safety is job one. Any ideas? I'm on the fence here???
