And your blog posting brought back a lot of memories so I was more than happy to comment.

I'm guilty of using hackneyed phrases, though I do tend to use them for humorous effect rather than because I can't think of anything else. <br /><br />I heard about this story/retraction only yesterday, but what I didn't hear was that it was supposed to be 'theatre'. When someone gets up on stage and tells something like this, unless there is a clearly printed notice in the programme stating that it is, in fact, a fabrication, people are going to believe it - especially if the performance is given in a convincing way. I have no love for China or for companies who use their cheap labour to have their products made there, but ... Shame on him. Did he really have no idea of the trouble this would cause for everyone? How daft do you have to be to publicly slander a company like Apple?<br /><br />I want to say thank you for your kind comments on my blog, too. I'm so sorry you've had to deal with this too.Jay at The Depp Effecthttp://www.thedeppeffect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-5560421081576965492012-03-18T18:57:22.282-07:002012-03-18T18:57:22.282-07:00Thanks, Ron!

VERY interesting, indeed!<br /><br />I checked out all the links you left within this post because I wanted to know more about this topic. I honestly had no idea WHO Mike Daisey was, so thank you for introducing me to him.<br /><br />I listened to his prologue, and I have to agree with you. <br /><br />"I just can’t buy the “theater” excuse. This may sound terribly naive, but if someone says they went to China and spoke to factory workers then I expect that person to be telling the truth—no embellishments, fabrications or exaggerations."<br /><br />Amen!<br /><br />It's one thing to watch a theatrical piece that's fictional. But it's a totally different thing when it comes to a piece that's based on actual facts. Especially when it comes to something as serious as this.<br /><br />GREAT post, buddy!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.com
