#17923 RE: LG #17917

LG, I actually get communications from some Asian factories that read like that.

Sometimes when something goes terribly wrong I can get sarcastic with them too. They don't understand the language, so they get confused.

One time the country of origin was so large on the front of an item it totally obscured everything else (Think of a Toyota Land Cruiser with "Made In Japan" in 3-foot block letters on each side of it). I told the individual we would like the country of origin in Braille as well, and I'd like to have a computer chip inserted into the item that repeated the recording "Made in ____" each time the item was used so people would not mistake where this item was made.

I got a response back that was serious and wished to take care of my requests (including contact information for the chip manufacturer to make the desired chip), but they wondered whether it was necessary to put the country of origin in Braille as well, since blind people could not use this item in the first place.
