Consumerism is so sad

The real toy story. Michael Wolf documents his journey is collecting second-hand used toys in the US (easily and cheaply acquired), creating an art piece from those toys and then heading back to their source, China, to document the toy factories.

The fact those girls wear masks makes me think the media wouldn't have a single article if a dozen of them got sick or died from toxic fumes or lead poisoning working in the factory. One infant dying from those toys in the US makes headlines in major media outlets.

Life has a price, doesn't matter what the amnesty international says. What is the price of your life? I'm still thinking about mine. ;)

Interesting website! I forwarded that to a few people. I can't believe that last picture with everyone lined up to eat... it's like something out of a depressing dystopian sci fi movie.
