Sucker for a Cheap T-Shirt

As you can see from the photo above, Captain America approves of this shirt. Or should he?

Since I'm a sucker for cheap, cheesy t-shirts and I'm also a fan of Rural King, there was little doubt I would purchase this for $3 from the clearance rack.

Even though I got this shirt and a couple of others at bargain basement prices last week, there's some dark humor going on here. This shirt, with the flag blazoned across it, was made in Haiti, easily one of the poorest countries in the world.

It's a simple example of globalization, of course, but by "serving our customers," who also is being "served"? A simple anecdote of affluenza or capitalism as it should be?

Say it ain't so?

Is there any truth to this nasty rumor circulated by the fellas at Red State Update?
