Presidential Insult in the Bag, Literally
From Associated Press

SEATTLE — Clothes can make a statement. Urban-bag designer Tom Bihn has discovered that labels can too.

Bihn's sales have doubled since a French-language presidential insult mysteriously made its way onto the bilingual washing instructions for hundreds of his laptop bags and backpacks.

The labels read: "Nous sommes desoles que notre president soit un idiot. Nous n'avons pas vote pour lui."

Translated into English: "We are sorry that our president is an idiot. We didn't vote for him."

Bihn's self-titled company has drawn national attention and sparked Internet chatter since a Seattle customer spotted the insult and posted a photo of his bag's label on his Web log....

more here, but it may require registration. You can see a picture of the label here.

((wonder if it was named after the quasi-CIA-government 'corporation' Mitre where Defense Policy Board member James R. Schlesinger is Chairman of the Trustees?))

The Pope has one too. Protects your laptop against scrapes & scratches.


We've had such a response to the care label, or "Treason Tag," that we just had to put it on a t-shirt. All profits go to the Seattle Vet Center. So far, we have donated $2,000.
