Clothing retailer Gap Inc. said Sunday that it will convene all of its Indian suppliers to "forcefully reiterate" its prohibition on child labor after a British newspaper found children as young as 10 making Gap clothes at a sweatshop in New Delhi. (AP)

In the future Gap clothes will only be made by impoverished adults at sweatshops in Bangladesh.

So that's why Indians come to America and carry on about how every building in Manhattan has a roller coaster in it!

It's not an amusement ride, people, it's just an alternative to stairs.

That's pretty funny. I work in healthcare IT, and I swear there is literally only one photo disc of "medical technology/doctors with computers" images out there, and it is 6 years old. I see the same 10-12 photos on every website, brochure etc...

Yes, we pay for a subscription to about a billion stock photos, and one person in my department uses like 3, no matter what journal the promo piece is for.

we have a subscription to shutterstock.com that let's us d/l up to 25 images a day, but yeah we end up using the same old crap.

This guy pisses me off especially:

He pops up in ads for our ophthalmology/optometry journals. I get a violent reaction whenever I see him.

What is that face? What are the advertisers trying to tell me here? And it's freaking called "Very weird business guy". Good god

I too used medical stock photos and once got a call from a woman who appeared in one of them who was complaining and asking how we got the photo. Before I could explain to her about how cameras capture images she hung up in a huff.

The fact that I drive by a dialysis clinic on the way to the gym motivates me.
