I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.
We’re seeing this in Canada now too. Murcan products with a big maple leaf on them. Some stores are also slapping maple leafs on obviously Murcan products. We’re calling it Maple-washing.
I wonder what Murcans should call this OP example. Star-washing?
I vote for “orange-staining”
burger-washing
Hamburding
Burger-laundering
Hamburgling?
Spangle banging
On the first date?
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming, indeed.
I’m used to ‘Packaged in the USA’ labeling on Made in [somewhere else] products. ‘Designed’…same-same, definitely since NAFTA, maybe before. The bible verses are new to me.
I looked it up:
So you have to believe that he existed, but not follow his teachings cuz they’re too woke. Got it.
Genesis 19:31
Ezekiel 23:20
Judges 1:19

Right! So maybe “John-washing” cuz it’s all about the book of John.
yeah, the only one of the Beatitudes in Matthew they seem to like is the one where they get to adopt a persecution complex. The stuff about being meek and merciful is damned un-American.
Ah, right down the Old Glory hole.
We need a distinctive and protected “Made in Canada” symbol.
“Freedom”
