president label - idiot

This is a clothing label from a small American company that sells their products 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.
  • No not iron.
  • We are sorry that Our President is an idiot.
  • We did not vote for him.

    I found this on the web about the label:

    “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.

    “3. Eminem Strips For New Video, Goes At Bush
    A few weeks after announcing his return, Eminem shot a video for Just Lose It, the first single from his forthcoming Encore LP. The video has Slim buck naked wearing nothing but shoes and a sock. Em also has a 2nd single in the works called Mosh encouraging people to vote. Rumor has it that it’s telling people to get rid of Bush. The song is expected to drop before the election.”

    Yeah, I know….Finally he’s gonna get political in his mainstream products. There were some political stuff in The Eminem Show about the Bush administration and Dick Chaney, but the FCC censored it out before release. He must have used legal loopholes this time to get the message out.

    And, yeah. He’s going “o’natural” on the Just Lose It video…
    You can hear a snippet of the song here

    i dont like it when hes doing fast “bla bla bla” rap. But his first singles are usually always crap, the second ones are retardably great and the third ones even better..

    On my side, things have been busy and mentally unstable…I’m working on another plug that allows users to add a page (pages like, About, Info, Copyright, Legal Statement etc…) simply by posting a “blog”. And i’m thinking about doing another plug for FAQ/Manual-like pages. But to be honest I don’t expect them to be finished anytime soon. The new set of styles aren’t finished either but once they are, expect much more people to be using MagnaBlog. Another idea i’ve been playing with in my head is a dynamic CSS theming system for lazy users whereby a user enters a single color value (in HEX) in a configuration form, and on submit the PHP generates an entire CSS file based around calculated lighter and darker tones of that color. I’ll try to get on AIM next weekend so we can talk more and get some coding done.
