“We Are Sorry That Our President is an Idiot. We Didn’t Vote for Him.”

HeadlineApr 09, 2004

A Washington state-based company that manufactures and sells bags around the world is in the headlines today. The company, Tom Bihn, is now selling bags with an inside label that carries instructions on washing and caring for the bags. Because the bags are sold in Canada, the instructions are also printed in French. The French version, however, contains an additional phrase that translated into English means. “We are sorry that our President is an idiot. We didn’t vote for him.”
