That is heartbreaking and deplorable, but it speaks more to the culture and leadership of China than it does to any moral failings on Hasbro's part, IMHO. What kind of government allows their people to be exploited in this way?
I did find this part interesting:
Hasbro reported $4 billion in revenue in 2010,
with an operating profit of $587 million.
In 2010, Mr. Brian Golden, Hasbro’s president, paid himself $23.15 million.
Are you kidding me?!?! And you STILL can't afford the tooling to put out more than 19 Clone Wars figures next year?
What, do all these sculpters make 10 million dollars a year each?
Maybe they should move that part of the business offshore too.
FOUR FREAKING BILLION and they can't afford to make me a Duchess Satine or Riff Tamson.
