I then decided that the next time I go on vacation, I&#8217;m going to turn guest-blogging duties over to one of my regular readers that lives overseas.

They figured that they could probably pay local kids a dollar a shirt to do some nice ghetto-style silkscreening. This led to a mix of child labor\/sweat shop\/offshoring jokes, culminating in my declaration that, &#8220;We only abuse <em>local<\/em> children!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Politically correct?
