Green Room - Week 1 - Day 3

I was reading an article yesterday that really upset me. 

It was about use of child labor in the making of chocolate. Which is, of course, horrifying.  I don't understand how such a thing can actually be happening in this day and age!

Everyone knows that they aren't children! Why would you even print that?  They are Oompa-Loompas, and they love working long hours in the factory for no wages! They thrive on it! 

So everyone just needs to calm down, and realize that those aren't sunburned little children out there in the cocoa fields and the chocolate chip mines, they are just tiny red people who really like singing!  

Because, if they were children, that would be horrible. 

Exploiting barely disguised racial stereotypes? Who could possibly have a problem with that!! ;)

Speaking of horrible - remember that the deadline for the first entry is coming up in a couple of days! Time has a way of slipping by when you aren't fully paying attention - there's always "I'll do it a little later" that ends up getting people every single time!   http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/486728.html
