I was in high school at that time and it was used in one of the classes to
show marketing strategies.  The japanese gvt took offense to that companies
strategy and probably played more at the relabeling afterwards than the US
with no real system in place did.  At that time is when a company there was
exporting heads for bugs to the US as well, but they were in boxes reading
US.  A US company had contracted them and was boxing them as if they were
made in USA.  Boy were they crap.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
