Still catching up.....

This is from a fascinating series of pictures taken inside a toy factory in China (or possibly several factories--the captions aren't entirely clear). Ya know, the people who paint lead onto your Barbie dolls? Anyway, some of the captions seem to indicate this proves how well people are treated over there, but it looks slightly hellish to us. Just imagine having to face all those grinning Sponge Bob's every day....brrrrrr......

or worse: Those "Bratz" dolls' incredibly-deformed faces (not shown, but 'mga entertainment' definitely has them made in china).
Those pictures are just plain scary in too many ways.

These 'facilities' apparently do have "laboratories", but they just look like small, dirty kitchens and are barely used because of that. eww...
