If its just sitting a warehouse doing nothing, might as well put the goods to good use.

If the clothes shrink after washing, is it Bush's fault?

Have you seen the price of Eukanuba? Take some Gravy Train, stick it in an old Eukanuba bag... make a fortune.

To: Westlander
Great idea! I saw a Freeper the other day complaining about folks carrying "Vuitton bags" at the shelters.
These things are not now and never have been Vuitton. These bags, watches, etc. are sold by Senegalese counterfeiters from blankets on the sidewalks of New York and just about any other major US and European city. Good to see them being put to a positive use!

I guess the things that were supposed to have been destroyed, will be destroyed anyway... Give them away.
But, this was an illegal act. Those items are no different than counterfeit money, to the patent/copyright owner... That is why they were seized.
I guess its no different than a cop running 80 in the 65 zone. He has the "right" to do anything he pleases. Who's gonna stop him?
The Salvation Army needs more of our help, on a different thought! they are spending all the money directly on the victims...

Just wait.
I'll bet the manufacturers of the "real" goods are preparing to sue.

"Expect the "real" manufacturers to gripe loudly."If it makes them so upset, then maybe they could go ahead and provide some of the real stuff.

Considering that Tommy Hilfiger said that blacks and Asians look bad in his clothes, I think this may bring some controversy. My cousin's nephew's godson's former roomate told me they saw Tommy say this on Oprah.

To: clee1
I'll bet the manufacturers of the "real" goods are preparing to sue.So tear out the freakin' labels before you distribute the clothes. I have a feeling the designers wouldn't dare open their mouths for fear of being seen as racist. Did I just say that? I sure did!!!

Filing suit in Harris County Texas at this time would not be in their interests. Trust me on this.
To: TexanToTheCore
Somehow, I don't think they'd file in Harris County... I'm thinking more like Boston or SanFagisco.
