Chinese teenager sells kidney for iPhone

[mashman]

What drives someone, kid or not, to do such a thing? and for what, a couple of pieces of technology (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/chinese-teenager-sells-kidney-iphone-212819458.html)? The world has indeed gone mad :yes:

Poor kid. Sounds like he needs a crate or two of Coruba to help him through :)

He'd be fucked off by now if he'd done it for a Microsoft product.

An Apple for play, keeps the doctor in pay...

It's true then, the Chinese really are determined to overtake the West in every field... Even the field of "teh stupid"! :facepalm:

It makes it even worse that it's an Apple product.

It's a sign of the times. Consumption-bent people filling the ever growing need of society for materialistic possessions and money that is treated as a commodity in itself. It can not slow down.

Only when the last tree has been cut down;
Only when the last river has been poisoned;
Only when the last fish has been caught;
Only when your last kidney has been sold;
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.
