In other news.... Americans discover their country is overrun by illegal aliens, working for minumum wage and doing jobs americans don't want to do.

My wife likes British humor (why, I have no clue) and was watching that Fat Vicar Of Dibley show. They featured the "Make Poverty History" campaign. No point here except that I dislike British humor...oh, and they did knock Tony Blair.

If the wristbands cost £1, of which 70p goes to the charities, wouldn't be in the best interest of raising money, for charities to purchase them at the lowest cost possible and attempt to sell them at the highest?

Yes, but the people who are behind this campaign are the same types who frown on the kinds of practices we're seeing here. The celebrities and leftie charities have been shown up as hypocrites.

Geldof and his ilk will only be happy when we're all working in sweat shops, nice and equal.

As if ANYTHING coming from China wasn't produced with virtual-slave labor, isn't average worker pay about 85 cents/day?

I think part of the point is that these are below average conditions, even for China.

Slave labor in China? I am shocked I tell you. I would have never suspected. Such a nice country with such nice leaders.
