Fashion Chains
And I bet nobody saw this coming! Turns out GapKids clothing is made by actual kids! That's so cute! OK, so technically, the garments are made by child slaves. But I'm sure that the (PRODUCT) RED™ garments are made by socially conscience child slaves.

"Most of the child laborers in India, who work in homes, restaurants and textile workshops in big cities, come from impoverished rural areas in the northeast of the country, either sold into bonded labor by traffickers, or willingly sent by their parents in the hopes that they will send back extra income."
"Bonded labor" is bad.
But, disemploy them all?
Will that fix it?
What will they do instead?
This isn't Brooklyn we're talking about.

If they didn't enjoy child labor, they would live in Brooklyn instead of India.
Child labor is more of a lifestyle choice, really.
I, for one, wouldn't want to live in a world where children aren't allowed to breathe in industrial fumes and work until their little fingers bleed in order to afford a cup of rice for dinner.
Next you'll try to convince me they don't enjoy defecating in a trench outside their village.
Freedom-hater.
Booger?
I mean this in the nicest possible way, but do you bring a snorkel with you when you put your head up your ass?
"Will that fix it?"
Yes. You fuckwit. If we don't tolerate child enslavement, that will "fix it". We will buy products made by people who are paid a living wage. Better that be adults than kids, no?
Almost makes me want to believe in a deity, just to order up some smitin'.
I know what he means. What would my ancestors have done in America, if they couldn't work in the cotton fields and get whipped bloody? Equal rights for slaves, damn it.
