The note I received when I opened up my MacBook

When I first got my MacBook it came with this note. I thought nothing of it at the time, but looking back it makes sense:

PLEASE HELP! WE ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE IN APPLE FACTORIES FOR LABOR! WE ARE BEING PAID NOTHING BUT MINIMAL RATIONS AND THE CONDITIONS HAVE HURT OUR FRAGILE DEVELOPING BODIES! STEVE JOBS HAS TOLD US THAT HE WILL EAT US TO GROW HIS POWER IF WE DO NOT WORK HARD ENOUGH!

ALSO, IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH YOUR MAC PLEASE TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL GENIUS BAR AND THEY WILL SET IT RIGHT UP FOR YOU! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OUR MAIN PRIORITY!

BUT SERIOUSLY HELP US!

I didn't see anything about a rebate, so I threw it away.

Steve Jobs loves children

Let's be real... a lot of people are looking for jobs these days... and Steve Jobs loves children, so of course he's going to give them the good jobs... how have we overlooked this small but crucial element!

If my sources are correct (and my sources are purely the made for tv movie Silicon Valley Pirates starring Noah Wylie and Anthony Michael Hall) then Steve Jobs loves children so much that he will name a computer after his child... but refuse to admit that it's his child. Now that's the exact kind of love that a man who gives children the good jobs would have.

If that's not enough evidence I want you to look at this photo and tell me that Steve Jobs doesn't love children:

The Telegraph Reports

The telegraph writes about how Apple had employed at least eleven 15 year-olds in their factories overseas. They reviewed the hiring procedure and can't figure out how they slipped through the net. I guess Apple has had a history of bad labor, with this description being my favorite:

Apple has been repeatedly criticised for using factories that abuse workers and where conditions are poor. Last week, it emerged that 62 workers at a factory that manufactures products for Apple and Nokia had been poisoned by n-hexane, a toxic chemical that can cause muscular degeneration and blur eyesight. Apple has not commented on the problems at the plant, which is run by Wintek, in the Chinese city of Suzhou.

UH-OH! (Read the rest of the Telegraph article here)

Of course I already knew that children were being employed... how you might ask? Well, I'm just perceptive.

Here, in this blog, is some of the evidence I found that helped me realize children were working in apple factories.
