I'd probably prefer a pair with this on --
more geek cred, more unique and probably just
as well made as the originals.

I think C and C++ both use
if(Label="")then{option1();}else{op
tion2();}
or
(Label="")?"RMA":"?"
;
So no, not C++. Excel or Access function or
old-style macro or VBScript maybe. It's not
plain VB.

These aren't necessarily counterfeit. It
could have been a mistake at the actual
factory, which is how they ended up wherever
you snapped this. Great pic.

Blogged on UNEASYsilence.
I'm kind of wanting a pair of misprinted
knock-offs after seeing that tag.

I think it's supposed to be
=IIf(Label="","RMA","
?")
If it were written "Iif" instead
of "If", it would work in any
Microsoft Office application and in VB. It
means, "If the field/column/whatever
'Label' has an empty value, return the value
'RMA'. Otherwise, return the value '?'."
It's a good way of populating one field
based on what's in another field.
Maybe now I can get a job writing software
for Thai blue jean counterfeiters.

That's right. It's supposed to be iif, not
if.
(Edit:But it probably isn't plain VB, just because
of the equals sign.)

I'd have to concur with popular opinion: that
pair kicks the *ahem* pants off the others.

Would any of y'all like to put some money on
that, Deea?
The reason you shouldn't even doubt me is
because I'm not nearly creative enough to
imagine the workflow at a counterfeit jeans
factory, let alone come up with a plausible
screwup like this. And this is pretty
plausible. Because it happened :)
But no need for critical thought. It was
dark in the stalls in Chatuchak, so I had to
take several shots to even get this blurry
image. I didn't upload the original because I
wasn't Flickr pro yet.
These are not interesting photos: camera jitter, too close, the one that I posted, and with a flash.
In the unlikely event that anyone would
like to use one of those images, feel free
under either Sharealike 1.0 or Attribution Sharealike 2.5.
I don't even have a copy of photoshop. My GIMP skills aren't that good.

Like many before me have said I'd like a pair
with this on! Geek Chic. Also you got to
remember lots of the jeans in markets in
these places come from the genuine factories
and are 2nds/rejects (or the factory keeps
the machines running after they number of
units they have been contracted to make). So
lots of the goods are actually from the
proper factory but don't get the proper
packing/labels put on.

It may not be a bug. They could be ThinkGeek
jeans.

The main reason I assumed they were
counterfeit was because there were a bunch of
sad looking lucky 7 and diesel jeans at the
same prices.
The second reason was that I assumed real
factories would be doing large enough runs
that they wouldn't depend on Excel to allow
them to print all kinds of different labels.
But now in retrospect, I doubt that the legit
companies are more organized than the
counterfeiters.
Anyway. I'm sure you're right. They
probably aren't counterfeit. Keeping the
title.

I'm mainly surprised that no one caught it,
even if they are in fact counterfeit (which I
could believe easily).

Counterfeit or not - it's a great find &
like so many people I'd love a pair ;-)
And, counterfeit or not,it's strange nobody
noticed and they are in the shops ...

Love it, blogged it: www.counterfeitchic.com/2006/05/counterfeit_m
isprint.php
And come to think of it, the manufacturer
may have avoided a trademark violation, only
to infringe copyright!

I live here in Thailand, and that market is
known for its fake stuff. Its uber normal to
get dumbass stuff like that. Like on the back
of a romance movie it had a comment saying
"absolutely hilarious!" When the
movie had nothing funny in it at all. If your
visiting Thailand get used to that kind of
crap!
But that is pretty funny. I could hardly
read the label anyway.
Lee is what I wear. My Lee is not fake.

I live in Thailand since six years now, but I
haven't seen a label like that. Must be a
real rarity. I hope you bought the whole
stock to establish it as a new brand. :-)
