Bad Vibrations

After complaining about ONTD being on the homepage, the political spin-off actually comes up trumps with this post:

"Hello, I'm a Mac, and I'm helping to fuel the war in the Congo"This is an issue I was actually going to post about. I saw an advert for Tesco mobile that guarantees you a new phone every year. It disgusted me because that's so

It so does represent everything that's bad about the consumer society. It's all about want and not need.

Thank you, darling, it means a lot that you think it's interesting *hugs*

You are absolutely right, the whole phone thing is nothing but vanity. I don't get why mobiles are such a status symbol; it's a phone, for goodness' sake.

I didn't really know much about this issue though, so thank you for the links as I shall definitely take a look. And I agree with thinkpink20; your posts are always interesting and informative so please keep posting about the things that matter :)

I don't get it either, everyone's so obsessed with having the latest "in"phone that it's just a fashion accessory really.

Thanks, Evie :) The situation in the Congo is one of those things that people either don't know about, or forget about because it's been going on so long - it's good when awareness can be raised.
