Clothing label apology
Hope this wasn't already posted.


http://www.lepow.com/tag/


This is a clothing label from a small American company that sells their product in France.

Here's the translation of the French part of the label:

Wash with warm water.
Use mild soap.
Dry flat.
Do not use bleach.
Do not dry in the dryer.
Do not iron.
We are sorry that Our President is an idiot.
We did not vote for him.

1. Wow! Is that for real? I want to buy somethings to get the
labels. This is pretty much what we told people we met in France, Italy and Switzerland on our trip last year.

3. Made the rounds awhile back. Here's more info:
The company is Tom Bihn, they actually make messenger bags, laptop bags and the like.

They have made the following (rather disingenuous) claim as to the label's origin:

"This all began as an inside joke aimed (we think) at the president of our company, Tom Bihn. Many people have concluded the care label refers to other presidents - what can we say?"

Heh heh. Here's their page on it:

There's a list of exactly which of their products have the label, as they are - not surprisingly - in demand!
