“I don’t care if you’re working 70 hour weeks for $1.78 an hour. I want a slightly bigger display for playing Temple Run”<\/p><\/div>\n

(Longhua, Shenzhen Provence, China) Apple Computer’s new iPhone has been delayed indefinitely due to the overall laziness of Chinese workers.<\/p>\n

As Apple spokeswoman Gail Wombat pointed out:<\/p>\n

“Some investigators claim that workers at the factories where we make our iPhones work up to 70 hours a week. But I’d like to point out that means they don’t<\/em> work 98 hours a week. So I have to ask: are you going to be a glass-half-full or glass-have-empty person?”<\/p>\n

“They don’t get paid much for doing very repetitive tasks, but you have to admit iPhones are pretty cool. Most people would kill to play with them all day long.”<\/p>\n

“And working all day long keeps from thinking about how they don’t have any labor rights and stops them from committing suicide!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Cambridge Massachusetts, Apple fan-boy Harold Harney expressed his excitement about the upcoming iPhone 5 release:<\/p>\n

“I heard it’s going to be 2mm thinner and a couple of cm wider. That’s progress! If I can get a cool new phone, I don’t really care about some worker in China. Hmm…that makes me hungry. I could really go for some Kung Pao Chicken right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
