Post a Comment*If you're going to use the first one, please don't use the broken English. It makes it feel cheaper somehow than if you used some other cue that it's a Chinese factory
I agree with Veronica.
I would also turn it around a little and say something like "They want everything cheap so what do they expect." Since the real problem is Americans love to consume and want stuff cheap so they can buy more cheap stuff.
With the first one, is there some way to work in the fact that many Chinese good are produced by laborers working under near-slave conditions, and maybe that's the cause of the problems with their toxic products?
Yes, the broken English doesn't denote a Chinese factory. You can find bad English in Over-the Rhine and Indian Hill too.
I like the first one but the issue with China is bigger than just toys but also includes the tainted food products, pet food, car tires, etc. I'm reminded of the "rickshaw" merchant on MASH (TV series) that sold everything from silk to watches, all "High Quality" and "made from scratch". the problem is no one ever bothered to ask what scratch was made of and why we are buying things from a country where the vast majority of the population doesn't even use them (like buying car tires from a country that mostly uses mass trans or bicycles to get around)...
I like the first one, but I think you should go full-blown racist and have it say "Probrem". HA!
From the political end, I don't think that these goods aren't meeting quality standards because they are made in sweat shops. The laborers don't determine the type of paint that should be used. Management all over the world is trying to cut corners to make a few extra bucks.
It should have said "Comprain", not "Probrem".
The MySpace one should be made into a poster for every high school in the U.S.
or have huge vats of trans fat, glass, syringes etc. going into a big mysterious assembly-machine with teddy bears coming out on an assembly-line treadmill.
the myspace one is great. just great.
Goetta is ok
the myspace one is hilarious
