This is fucking nuts. The same sort of money they're asking for these wee piles of Alibaba rubbish can buy a titanium-cased Citizen Eco-Drive. Which, like, is pretty fucking unbeatable, because it's a Citizen, and the current generation of Eco-Drives is basically worry-free, as it's good to go for three bloody decades.
The way I see it, it's just guilt-tripping the idiots of this world into paying a shitload for what has been made at the cost of 5p, or thereabouts. It might sound a wee bit heartless of me, but I guess I'm fucking done with the charities using the same "African village with its well running dry needs your help" dinero bait sort of slogan. Sorry, but that lot can fuck off. There's enough charities in my own back yard, so to speak. I care locally, like supporting a foundation that does its best to help children's hospitals, including one I've been in once (when I was, like, 7). The "save the world" stuff lost me long ago.
Oh, and when it's not just "save the world" but "buy our wartches to save the world", that lot can go fuck themselves with a motherfucking cactus.
You cannot explain away a wantonly immoral act, because you think that it is connected to some higher purpose.
