The company is real (link below for the curious), the web site the review is posted on appears to be legitimate. A product search on the company's website for Rivendell Roadeo came up empty handed (no surprise). The whole thing has the trappings of an April Fool's Joke. It strikes me as a bit too humorous for AI - definitely good for a few chuckles.
