However, Gou did not : deliberately slander the workers as some media described," it quoted : Foxconn as saying. : : Foxconn was not immediately available for comment. It sounds like the sort of joke anyone might make while speaking at a zoo. How do they manage to make a big deal out of it? Has humor been totally wrung out of today's society? Bob |
