Wonkette has this - I sincerely hope it isn't photoshopped. You gotta love a clever protest regardless of your politics.



Apparently, Urban-bag designer Tom Bihn has a Seattle store and a Port Angeles factory outlet, and his sales have doubled since a French-language presidential insult mysteriously made its way onto the bilingual washing instructions for hundreds of his laptop bags and backpacks:









Translated into English: "We are sorry that our president is an idiot. We didn't vote for him."



This is so cool.



I just wish that Bihn hadn't ruined it by practicing plausible denial in this LA Times story: "Bihn is careful to note that the tag doesn't specify who "our president" refers to. 'I'm going with the idea that it's a joke about me, the president of the company,' Bihn said Thursday, but 'clearly when you use the word 'idiot' and 'president' in the same sentence, people jump to other conclusions.'"
