Apple causes cancer

Five environmental groups wade in
Cargo-cult Apple has been accused of hypocrisy when it comes to touting its green credentials. Five different Chinese environmental groups are coming after Apple, accusing it of outsourcing its pollution to developing countries.

The environmental groups have linked Apple to various suppliers with track records of environmental violations and taking advantage of loopholes in the system. We would add that it also has been seen clubbing to death harp seals with iPads if it were true.

In a report released by the organizations, they call out 29 major electronics brands to work with them on improving the situation. Apple said that some of the factories of concern were not suppliers for the US, but didn't go into any more detail than that.  So in other words Apple fanboys in the US can he assured that their shiny toys are not stained with the blood of Chinese people.

However it is less reassuring to know that some parts of the world are using iPads which have caused cancer. Air pollution from factories near city of Kunshan became so bad that that people started sending their kids to different schools. Cancer rates have increased since the factories opened.
