Sweet. I'm gonna shop at target.

P.S. Where do you get the hoodies these days? Tried that place off rundle street but they didn't have any...

That's seriously fucked. That's a complete rip off.

Kab has a right to sue Target for that.

I don't think Target is to blame per se. I imagine they'd contract their clothing lines out to third party producers...who's designer is responsible for this 'interpretation.'

Thailand's a whole other ball game too, copyright laws are confusing here to say the least. Intellectual property laws especially. I have heard a few horror stories with people setting up branches of their companies here and having no end of dramas in ensuring their products are safe. It seems once it's set up here there is virtually no protection from intellectual property theft!
