SNL puts iPhone complaints into perspective

That sketch was not completely terrible, which is better than a lot of SNL does. But seriously, complaints about the iPhone are not put in perspective when contrasted with the complaints of the people who constructed it. The fact that Foxconn exmployees enjoy (well, so to speak, "enjoy") a lower standard of living than Americans does not make 1st world complaints insignificant. Otherwise, nobody would have any recourse to complain about anything!

We should feel fortunate to have the opportunities available to those in modernized countries--don't get be wrong. But that does not necessarily mean we should feel guilty about theirs. We do not have control over the situation. Plus, this sketch ignores the reality that the people who design the software and design the hardware have higher standards of living than the average American. If we take the logic of the SNL skit to the extreme, we have every right to complain; the people responsible for the iPhone's problems are more well off than half the people who buy the product!

as an american, context is not in our vocabulary. this was funny as shite, though.
