Working with manufacturing in China is never a dull moment. Sometimes you are pleased….while other times all one can do is shake their head. So my wit created this little friendly pun to relieve some humorous frustrations with my production colleagues in China. Love it or hate it…….it is funny………check out crash test videos on the web of cars designed and built in china…..shocking…reverse engineering does not always work out.

I know this is bound to offend someone…….but if it is any consultation the Chinese factory friends I have think it is hilarious. (plus my Chinese girlfriend did not make me sleep on the couch for this one.

You don't need to defend you work before you even get in Sh!T over it.

I'm $5

Made in america aint that much better.

I think after the toothpaste poisoning "incident" we're all a little wary of their products anyhow.

Anihc ni edam!
letsmakeart, nobody mentioned anything about American made products being better. no kudos for you

Thank Japan for all the well made things we have (Toyota, Honda, Nintendo, Cowboy Bebop)

yeah, im offended

you wasted my time.

This, to me, explains everything in LOST that needs explaining.

As the son of a Boeing employee... i give you $5.

lol v1ctorya i love the lost comment!! On the shirt, its a cute idea - especially with all the lead in the toys nowadays, but I would never wear it out in fear of offending people.

love it!

yeah, put Ford on that thing, it's not Chinas fault we request the cheapest shit know to man for bulk buying at your local Walmart.

nice vector work though.

i know this is so true but this is way too offensive.

as well as made in indonesia... nice work

lame.

This, to me, explains everything in LOST that needs explaining.

(but i'm not digging this sub.)

Having lived in China, I agree with this shirt. 5.

people who are offended need to grow a sack

lol@v1ctorya's comment!

Great placement.

Just drop the "Made in China" thing, I would wear it just because its a crashing plane. Add some fire!

the only reason I wouldn't wear it as a T is because my town is full of overly sensitive people, but don't get rid of the made in china thing, that's what makes it what it is

i still thought that was rather mean

This is rude. Vote for 0.

I have enjoyed reading all the comments...this has drawn the exact responses I wanted it to.

NateT is defiantly feeling the pun…..I lub my fellow Chinese designers and engineers….just have to give them some tough love sometimes. I will take all the overly offended people with me on my next trip to china to better explain my light hearted humor. Heck I might even have a garment factory I am friends with print it for me in china…word!!

I wouldn't fault the actual workers for the general shoddiness of Chinese goods, but certainly the factory managers, the local officials, and the kleptocracy called the PRC all deserve ridicule, so I $5 this even though I'm sure Threadless won't touch this one with a ten-foot pole.
