Anti-Bush Clothing/Laptop Bag Label
This is a clothing label from a small American company that sells their product in France.
Wash with warm water.
Use mild soap.
Dry flat.
Do not use bleach.
Do not dry in the dryer.
Do not iron.
In addition to the basic laundering instructions, the labels read, in French:
Nous sommes desoles que notre president soit un idiot. Nous n'avons pas vote pour lui.
Which, translated into English, means:
We are sorry that our president is an idiot. We didn't vote for him.
"The 'secret' message began as an inside joke among seamstresses and staff at the Tom Bihn factory," the company's Website explains, "and was apparently intended to poke fun at company's founder and president, Tom Bihn."
The key word is apparently.
"I'm going with the idea that it's a joke about me," Bihn told the Associated Press. But, he added, "clearly when you use the word 'idiot' and 'president' in the same sentence people jump to other conclusions."
Especially when it's written in French.
