I just looked at the website of a camping-equipment brand that extols its care for the environment, but if you read through the lines, you find that the brand is just taking an existing Chinese manufacturing and having its own logo stamped on the goods. Again, companies seem to feel that if you have any web presence, this is the kind of stuff you have to write.
