- Beatmiser, on 04/29/2008, -4/+198Digging simply because this is one of the rare times when the word 'Irony' is used correctly.
- vault, on 04/29/2008, -8/+145Good thing this in Apple.
- dvsbastard, on 04/29/2008, -2/+103Don't you mean "iRony"?!
- freakofwar, on 04/29/2008, -15/+93The irony...
- Locke23, on 04/29/2008, -2/+49At least the word was used right for a change.
- inactive, on 04/29/2008, -2/+45I find it funny that the factory was as ignorant of the issue as the protesters themselves.
- wefarrell, on 04/29/2008, -1/+43This isn't even surprising. Looking at all those Tibet flags in protests you knew some of them had to be made in china.
- str3ama, on 04/29/2008, -15/+54lol well they could be made in Tibet, but labelled as made in China because China considers Tibet part of China..
- killbert24, on 04/29/2008, -3/+32A little TOO many babies, actually.
- jerbaker, on 04/29/2008, -3/+31Reminds me of Vladimir Lenin's quote, "The capitalists would sell us the rope with which we will hang them."
- Cronikeys, on 04/29/2008, -2/+27That's the irony!
- AutumnWindz, on 04/29/2008, -3/+28So much for 'BOYCOTTING CHINA!!!1' when the things you use to protest are made in China
- dvsbastard, on 04/29/2008, -0/+24"I'll take it!"
"Hello, China? I have something you may want. But it's gonna cost ya. That's right... All the tea..." - fxu1989, on 04/29/2008, -3/+25They just couldn't reject their prices!!!
It was so cheap compared to Thailand. - manitoba98xp, on 04/29/2008, -0/+18Nope. Guangdong is not in Tibet.
- bigmuffpi, on 04/29/2008, -1/+18Funny, but.. it's mostly just a Tibet flag, and not a ''free Tibet'' flag.
''Free Tibet'' and ''Boycott China'' are two different things imo. - toppgun, on 04/29/2008, -3/+20I think its an even bigger slap in the face of China that they have been manufacturing the flags of the protesters.
- santaliqueur, on 04/29/2008, -0/+16Male babies, maybe.
- cquilliam, on 04/29/2008, -4/+20Yes, like rain on your wedding day
- nbyn, on 04/29/2008, -0/+15more babies == more flag makers
- TobiasParker, on 04/29/2008, -1/+15I refuse to bow to your wishes. Dugg for spite.
- linuxinsidev2, on 04/29/2008, -0/+14What has this got to do with apple you moron?
- killbert24, on 04/29/2008, -7/+20The USA needs jobs. Why couldn't they buy their 'free tibet' flag from US, dammit!
- dizilbdog, on 04/29/2008, -1/+14Hey Obama how come you aren't wearing that Flag Pin Made in China...
- atdigg, on 04/29/2008, -4/+15Only that Texans are not killed if they disagree....
- groverblue, on 04/29/2008, -1/+11indeed
- ASSASSYN360, on 04/29/2008, -0/+10I looked high and low in my apartment for something not made in china. Then it hit me...it was me!
- goldenratiophi, on 04/29/2008, -0/+10the submitter submitted this into the category "Technology/Apple" instead of something logical.
- wpyh, on 04/29/2008, -4/+14ste3ama, have you read the link? The flags are made in the Guangdong province, which is far from Tibet.
By the way, yes, China considers Tibet as one of its provinces. The same way the U.S. considers Texas as one of its states. - TommyTikal, on 04/29/2008, -7/+17Yeah,
I hate that guy, abusing all his power all the time. Leading a nation to war under a false pretense and such.... - chrisbosh123, on 04/29/2008, -3/+13Can't really blame them, even I didn't know what the Tibet flag looked like until now and also, it doesn't actually say "free tibet" on the flag because if it did, they still wouldn't have a clue.
- boonesfarm, on 04/29/2008, -0/+10Reminds me of the Che Guevara T-shirts made in Asian sweatshops
- chrisbosh123, on 04/29/2008, -2/+12Great, now a hamtaro guy/girl/tranny tells me I'm a ignorant ***** because I don't know what the Tibet flag looked like. Lemme ask you this then, do you know what the Ontario flag looks like?
- chillypacman, on 04/29/2008, -0/+9I thought they were ALL made in China, who else makes cheap flags? :P
- surfacewound, on 04/29/2008, -2/+10Because it would've been 600% more expensive.
- Lockhart, on 04/29/2008, -1/+9I see the Ron Paul fervor has died down...
- lattin1, on 04/29/2008, -1/+9I bet they're not airing this story in CCTV (China's state run media). I'm surprised I was even able to open this link from China. Hilarious.
- dafragsta, on 04/29/2008, -0/+8You see. This is the kind of irony that is a much greater risk than the Large Hadron Colider to rip a hole in the universe. This is the kind of irony that ought to be regulated.
- Tenoq, on 04/29/2008, -1/+9Are you really that much of a moron? You seem to under the delusion that Tibet would actually have a choice in where their products are coming from. :p
- cloudcity, on 04/29/2008, -0/+7A situation was properly identified as ironic on the Internet, today should be a national holiday.
- Brainmodder, on 04/29/2008, -5/+12Trade: bringing down Communist states since 1978.
- inactive, on 04/29/2008, -1/+8Somebody should alert Alanis, this is true irony.
- XStylus, on 04/29/2008, -1/+7Free Tibet -- with purchase of equal or lesser value.
- wpyh, on 04/29/2008, -1/+7What has the Olympics got to do with a more free society?
- uriman, on 04/29/2008, -1/+7profits over ideology
- kylere, on 04/29/2008, -0/+6Not all American Flags are, only those sold in Walmart. http://www.annin.com/ still makes and sells them for over 150 years. There is even a trade organization that regulates the "Made in USA" stickers/marks for flags. http://www.fmaa-usa.com/
- Mahluc, on 04/29/2008, -0/+6I'm referring to the western protesters not Tibetans. Whats the point of these anit-China free Tibet protests if the majority of the people there vote with there wallets by buying products that are made in China. The only way to get them to change is to hurt their economy. This is near impossible for the simple reason that almost everything you need to maintain a western lifestyle is either made in China or contains components made in China, including these so called green re-usable grocery bags that are all the rage now. In the end it comes down to this, if we want China to change we have to be willing to live less lavish lifestyles so that we are less dependent on China.
These protests aren't going to do a thing. there are probably a billion Chinese that disagree with the protesters. - chrisbosh123, on 04/29/2008, -3/+9That is possibly the most biased comment I've read on Digg.
Heres some things to consider:
1. Use proper grammar. Invalidates the PROTEST (verb-subject agreement). Use their, NOT "they're".
2. The "monks" DID protest violently
3. How is china "clearly" at fault when the facts point to both sides at fault?
4. The Dalai lama has NOT been killed or injured in any way. It's ONLY the monks and young radicals who are protesting right now, they represent LESS THAN 1% of the population of Tibet.
5. inconveniencing? How is China "inconveniencing a time", they planned this event for nearly 4 years now.
*gets ready to get dug down into oblivion* - bgfinkel, on 04/29/2008, -2/+7I was just in china and the television there is incredibly filtered and controlled- everything is either "the dalai lama sucks", "the olympics are going to be awesome who cares about tibet", or finally "CHINA ***** AWESOME WOOPEE!"
