The big one and child labor.
I just watched Michael Moore's film the big one. He was talking with the CEO of Nike. Mike said that most of the shoes were made in other countries like Indonesia. Michael asked him if he cared if twelve year olds were making the shoes. The CEO corrected him and said that the average age was fourteen and Michael asked him if he cared the fourteen year olds were making shoes for Nike and The CEO said no. I thought that it was illegal for a company in America to hire children in foreign countries. If it is not it should be.

PS.I hope my post is clear.

as an example of a brand that took years and millions to build, pretty much lost all of its equity in a few moments with some unwise and unkind words.
