"Kids in Congo were being sent down mines to die so that kids in Europe and America could kill imaginary aliens in their living rooms,"
The demand for Playstations and probably every other game console has sparked an increase in Coltan, an unrefined metallic ore in Congo. It is a rare metal necessary for the manufacture of Playstation.
It's sad to know about Blood Diamonds but it's worse in this case. Heck, at least diamonds make you look beautiful, deaths are not totally in vain. But having other kids mine their own way to death so that privileged kids can kill imaginary aliens/knights/mutants etc etc is...............
Enough said.
Now, to get myself something for Christmas, a PSP.
Very hypocritical? We're all in this together. Unless you can give up your precious mobile.
Welcome to the hypocritical world.
