Five Charged in Teen Selling Kidney to Buy Apple Products

i think this is just cause that mass market consumerism does untold damage to all areas or low demographic societies, im a sales rep and have been for 15 years, i know how easy it is to sell to "numpties" and i think huge corporations are taking advantage of emerging markets the same way... i mean Apple seems to have this "must have phenoma" that has people queuing to buy their products in droves and i really do not understand why? i mean these iphones//ipads things are just a lame phone with antenna issues and short battery life and is obsolete in one year? i think the advertising authorities need bo much more strict in developing countries

The HTC Evo 3D had 4G connectivity issues. I'm not an Apple fan, but I'm pretty sure that they don't have crap batteries and I wouldn't go as far as to call them lame. They are easily better than a standard phone and are probably better than a Blackberry. I really wouldn't go as far as to say that it's Apples fault that some kid decided to sell his kidney to afford Apple products. That's like saying it's Google's, the PC hardware manufactures, and M$'s fault if I sell my kidney for some Androids and PC parts with Windows.

I wouldn't give up my kidney for any amount of money.
