Some serious play for the day. I'm told this is an old one, and it must be since I got it from a lawyer friend in London. But never mind. I laughed.
It also got me thinking. Cross-cultural communication can occur in many ingenious, creative, and humorous ways. And imagine what we can do once RFID tags become mainstream!

I suppose you could call this a crass appeal to French consumers, but I think there is a broader issue here.
Help us change the world - DONATE NOW!
I was kind of narked when I found this. I wanted to start a company called ethi-labels (which was the same concept).
There was a student from Art Center collage who did this amazing project creating a line of clothing embroidered with the average salaries of workers for the parts of the garment on the clothes.
