When did Made in China become a synonym for crap?

Practically all the stuff in your house, the clothes you are wearing, the other cars you drive and even the screen on which you are reading this post were made in other countries - probably Asian or South American.

Get over it. Rightly or not, we live in a global enconomy and we're clearly not suddenly going to back to the way it was. Propogating the myth that all Chinsese goods are crap is not helping anyone. And it's not like Made in America means anything anymore. Anyone remember the Firestone exploding tires of a few years ago?

Speaking of exploding, what about the Pinto? That was made in America, too. Or how about the MD80s that crashed because of jack screw failures? Yep. made in America.
