Yeah, they should actually. I guess you obviously don't know any marketing strategies.

There are millions of children around the world that work as shoe shiners. Maybe you haven't been to a poor country, but you could be anywhere, and they will approach you and start shining your shoes for a few cents. This happens tens of thousands of times per day, and sometimes they are even hard to avoid. If it happens to me, I generously give them 5x or 10x the normal charge. There's nothing wrong with paying for a service and/or donating to children at the same time. When you buy lemonade from a lemonade stand, you are paying children for a product/service. When someone shines your shoes, you are paying for a service. When you buy Nike tennis shoes, you are paying for a product/service often made by children.

I think there's nothing wrong with teaching your children how to earn money at a young age. Whether it be through a lemonade stand, fundraisers through school, or learning to read while accepting donations. From a young age, they can learn to be responsible and learn how people in a free society must work to earn a living. Nothing is given to us for free (Obama might disagree).

I was always taught to work hard even when I was a kid. I had to do those school fundraisers, and for me, it was not voluntary. They required us to do it. I hated it. And I didn't get any of the money. I don't consider that to be exploitation, but I do believe it helps us grow into hard workers.

You can disagree -- everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think the real issues here is that Heartbrand didn't like being in the video. Everyone else in the video sent me a private message (including Sektors, Colgate, etc.) and found it funny. They were actually amused that they made the cut. I guess some people just can't take a joke.

Have a great day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Save your apologist crap. It's risible that you think that any of these children are getting any money or comprehend what they're doing. I highly doubt you've ever been to a third world country, because, if you did, you would know that these children are being exploited by their parents and/or other adults.

Whether you are directly exploiting these children is really not what's at issue; you, however, are supporting this exploitation for no other reason than some cheap laughs. That's not really a matter of opinion, more of a fact. To equivocate it to working hard as a kid is clearly delusional. Trying to justify douchebaggery is often worse than the actual instance of douchebaggery.

lol you faggoots are true humanitarians, biggest issue is this one wasn't funny like the thurgadeen one.

[Gnomersy]

If supporting the exploitation of children is the issue here hope none of you have any Apple products, Nikes , Big screen TVs lol. I bet no one is playing on a system that didnt have at least one child working on some aspect of it.
