I've heard some very nasty things about the company that makes the brown
fizzy drink and dead union officials, and certain pumped up shoe makers have
had their butts whipped in recent years over sweat shop labour. There's
always the baby formula manufacturer, who's name shall remain nestle'd in
secrecy, that employs (or at least used to employ) dastardly tactics to move
third world mums from breastfeeding to formula, thus causing the deaths of
many tiny tots due to direct exposure to the rotten local drinking water, or
else starvation due to inability to afford the stuff (thanks for the
mamaries). Or you might mention a certain org beloved of closer circles
which thinks it's ok to make food seed with an off-switch (or which, more
accurately I think, requires secret gunk to turn it on).
But I think the only crime against humanity that MS has perpetrated is VB.
The bastards!
