Anyone know if this is for real?
I found this pic on the net -- can't recall where. Does anyone know if the label is real?

Merde (the first French word I learned in a classroom). If Americans have to preface their couture with this disclaimer, what does this really say about America's (read: OUR) credibility in the World's Political Community?
And even if it isn't real, it is still quite funny. By the way. the first line actually reads: Wash by hand in warm water...
"Tom Bihn, president of the eponymous company, said he doesn't know which of his 10 employees are responsible. "They know my French is so bad they could sneak it past me," he said. But he doesn't appear to be too determined to root out the guilty party and said he's "not opposed to the sentiments" about Mr. Bush.
"We haven't looked really hard to find out who did it because it's good for us. When we find them, we'll give them a raise," said Mr. Bihn, who insists the "president" mentioned on the tag is a reference to himself as the company's president and not to Mr. Bush.
The tag has "hit a resonating chord" all over the world, including France, where some customers believe the reference is to their president, Jacques Chirac. "People out there think a number of presidents are idiots," said Mr. Bihn. "It's a universal message."
By the way, Tom Bihn has a wonderful selection of bags to carry your stuff around in. I have a computer case called a Brain Cell. It can be carried alone, or will fit into some of their larger bags - two of which are called the ID and the Super Ego. Ya gotta love their sense of humor!

Ms. Vandal.
Apparently real, from 2004.
Oooh - truth in advertising!
Yep, old news. It's made in Seattle. We're goooooood!
