What is this in response to? As it stands right now, your post does not meet forum guidelines.
 
It is a discussion of the working conditions in the Foxxcon factories used by the Apple Corporation. I thought this was general discussion area?
 
Is there a better area?
 
The title here is general discussion?
 
I simple offer a solution for Apple to look great. Cheaper than buying super bowl ads.
 
You're in the Politics and World Affairs section of the General Discussion. There are some slightly higher standards for posting in this forum. In either case, post more then a sentence if you actually want to discuss it. Few people, except for the people who just look to make arguments, care to spend time replying to a thread where the poster put no effort into its creation.

You didn't mention or source any of that in the OP...
