The more I think about it, that covering of the "made in China" labels with "Made in USA" labels last week in St. Louis bothers me more and more.
I seriously doubt if it really was "an overzealous volunteer" as they are claiming. Somebody with some authority had to be there setting the thing up, getting the camera angles, lighting, etc.
So they're setting up the boxes all around, and somebody decides they didn't want to show the Chinese boxes. OK. So rather than get new boxes, or just not have any boxes, it is decided to cover these ones up. I find that seriously scummy. They were at this particular warehouse to make a point, and it's fair to assume that the backdrop is supposed to reinforce that point. But if the point is false, why not go to another location or change the scenery? What was the point anyway?
A really bad decision.
