Hmm that's odd, nobody looked unhappy and no one committed suicide. The video must have been edited ;p

Well it was done with full cooperation from Foxconn's executives.

They probably threatened everyone to make it look good beforehand ;)

In the thumbnail it looked like the girl in pink had a really fat ass.

As much as I hate buying Foxconn products, a boycott is pretty much impossible. If one component on your board/pc isn't made by foxconn, then another will be.

Hell, I'm pretty sure they make 95% of the USB ports out there

I can still boycott apple and feel good about myself though.

Well the brute force approach would be to boycott any products made in China. Only buy those manufactured in South Korea, Japan or some other country.

THAT'D show 'em!
