This was an interesting yet sad story, but the story is just hysterically inhumane...

Foxconn at the request of Apple and Chinese state officials has made some steps to decrease the suicide rates. It's hired counselors and given workers dummies to beat on to vent their rage. And it's even been so kind as to hire Buddhist monks to allow the souls of those who committed to suicide to escape purgatory.

So sick of this stupid story, when will it die? It has been shown time and time again that the suicide rate at Foxconn is not unusually high. In fact it is lower than average.

God, the media's fascination with all thing Apple is just getting fucking ridiculous.

Only escape? You mean they couldn't have quit and went back to their farms making 1/100th of what they made at foxcon?

And an Apple Fanboys fascination is even more ridiculous.

Asian suicide culture is beautiful. They work eighty+ hours a week in jobs both technical and labor intensive for mere sustenance, and when those that lack the genetic superiority to cope with it inevitably fail, they kill themselves to further the societal evolution of humanity as a whole. Asians are going to eventually destroy the white monopoly and I look forward to it, as they've worked harder and sacrificed more than any others have.
