Northern Sun www.northernsun.com the coolest place to buy activist stuff on the web has been threatened with a lawsuit by Fashion Victim Inc. of Georgia for using an image of Che Guevara which they own. Upon discovering this Northern Sun inquired about purchasing the shirts from them only to discover that they were being made in sweatshop-haven Honduras. All attempts to get them to reconsider this horribly ironic practice have been rebuked.

Basically Northern Sun is trying to decide what to do. Sell the shirts but tell customers it is made in Honduras, or stop selling the shirts.
My suggestion to them... make a new shirt.
The shirt (red with black letters) "What would che do?" and it would come with a card that explained that Fashion Victim Inc. is creating 8 year old victims of fashion in Honduras, and is selling the image of an individual who would have fought against such behavior. It should also list the contact info for Fashion Victim.
