[MisO6T9]

Coming soon from Electronic Arts - Sims 3 - Corporate Fun! Lets go to work!! yay!

[maggiezh1988]

they all like robots!!!

[aandreispike]

wtf, id kill myself too:(

[RisingStarOfKorea]

I also work 12 hours a day and yet cannot afford an iPhone. Am I a working poor ?

[iAmChron1c]

@RisingStarOfKorea shouldve went to school buddy

[torth76]

they get to play with ipods all day?

[joesmith64]

why are people so dense? Its not just Apple products, Foxconn makes parts for just about all electronics now, Xbox, TVs, all brands of computers,' Phones.... etc etc etc.

[Zaxxen69]

their solution, safety nets to try and catch people who jump off the building!

[LiviaHorseLover]

... why?

[tfoll1564]

why doesnt it show them living there

[TRanceifyable]

What a fucking life, how do I sign up?

[etoile8848]

Foxconn employees have a saying, 'they use women as men and men as machine' Down with APPLE and others like apple !!!

[TheZoonib]

Now that's living. Capitalism a love story.

[creativeengineer]

How many of you give a fuck? As long as you have your Pad and iPhone. When you go to hell, satan will have you working for eternity as a Foxconn battery hen.

[AmazonKC]

This isn't even close. The people who work there (enslaved there) live in the same complex they work in. They are not allowed to talk while working. They work 17 hrs a day often on thier feet and are forced to use sub-standard chemicals that cause neurological damage. If they speak of unions they will go to prison for 7 years or more. And lets not forget the suicides. Holy crap dude get your animation straight.

[ItIsBadForU]

what animation software did you use? 3d max?? or some ready made framework?

[cesarvidalcorria]

FOXCONN + Apple = SLAVERY

[jasonsheridanharris]

@cesarvidalcorria Alot of companies use them not just apple you moron

[INFAMOUSeddie707]

@cesarvidalcorria wow what an idiot...FOXCONN china has contracts with 28 other companies besides apple

[JulixHartley]

@P4trikk Are you unfamiliar with the 24 h clock? That's not 5 pm at the end, it's 9 pm. That makes a difference. - However this animation really just shows the ideal day in those conditions... there's probably a lot more to it.

[JulixHartley]

@JulixHartley a second difference is the amount of money they get payed for doing harder work (stressful, repetitive though requiring concentration), than Americans would do. Definitely not 85 %! I'd be surprised if 10 % worked in similar conditions.

[ERKRAKANARB]

@P4trikk low wages (under 300usd a month) and 12 hours of work daily... oh yeah and abuse and stress from managers. they have been known to destroy their own hands over the years just to keep up with the workload

[P4trikk]

@ERKRAKANARB They definitely make a LOT less money but 10 to 12 hour work days and abuse is very common in American factories. Most of the people I’ve watched retire over the last 30 years (which I don’t believe the Chinese do) retire with many forms of damage from repetitive motion and huge vision and hearing impairments. Yes the Chinese factory workers have it worse-

[P4trikk]

@P4trikk --My biggest point should have been I rarely see this type of concern over American factories. Now some of our factory workers I know do have it very well, but most do not and the economy over the last three years has allowed for the worst.

[DMrFrost]

This fails to hit on any of the "actual" issues.

[BjoernKP]

For the truth, google "wiki foxconn". And go to the headline: "4.1 Allegations of employee mistreatment"

[styles7887]

i feel these guy and gals i worked some crazy hours also, 14-15hrs a day can do it for few months,but passed 3 in a row,thats my braking point.

[NyleBrofic]

Really..... reallly dumb.

[starlost1957]

@NyleBrofic Only in America!!!!

[lastwhiteman209]

Chinks are no better then worker ants.

[FreemanZee]

last one, really?

Thank gods!

Good riddance.

[moroccanAlphateam]

If you don't like this jobs bring them to Morocco we would love to have them

[DMrFrost]

@moroccanAlphateam You would love to work 35 hours straight, live in a tiny dorm with 7 other people, and make 31 cents an hour doing the same thing over and over and over again?

[starlost1957]

@DMrFrost Coming to America & my father believes in this communism lifestyle

[bulletproof2353]

i guess its hard to animate filth and despair

[missedthelikebutton]

I WOULD LIKE WORK HERE

[sheatheman]

one of the best videos ever

[tay2sims]

How did you do this?

[NinjaCOOKIEZZ74]

Fletcher, thts not true. This is not real footage.

[BeatsByWeight]

@NinjaCOOKIEZZ74 no cameras allowed in factory

[EC2DESIGN]

There is a reason why this is only animation...this shows nothing...plz use real life footage.

[ffletcherr]

I would have fun there :) their job is to eat and play with iPads. Their living conditions are not unusual for china. In cities they live in small spaces because there are millions of people in small areas. They are also communist so their food and housing is included with their job. China is very efficient!

[Hellotherejim]

they get to play with iPads all day!!!???

[FunnyVideoCollector]

They dont commit suicide anymore Apple made them install satey nets to stop the child slaves escaping their job. See Apple aint all that bad.

[popcornpopsyou]

@FunnyVideoCollector lol

[samserius01]

я тожея ебашу до 16 за 20 , я полукитаец?

[MsChynaedoll]

I like the concept of this animation! Thanks for doing something different to get the point across! Great video NMANewsDirect!

[DavidRuizBrasil]

This is what they want to be, shoot real life, real workers if they allow you to do it.

Shame!!!

[707BLACKDEVIL707]

Where the part where they jump off the building...

[icyhotonmynuts]

Animation? How about shoot real people, and then see if the people smile going to, at, and from work.

[mebiggles1]

It's ironic that the Orwellian 1984 conditions are at the worst - not in 1960's hardline Communist China but in 21st Century fledgling-democracy China. Who would have thought this?

[jasefest]

@mebiggles1

Fledging democracy? You must be joking. Workers in China have no human rights, and no say in any form of elections.

[mebiggles1]

@jasefest True. My bad. But maybe Capitalism can schmooze China into the light. We all wish China would turn, overnight, into a fully democratic country but it aint going to happen. It's going to be slow painful steps, with lots of people suffering on the way. Where's the miracle that's going to alter that fact? A bloody uprising that will maybe kill millions? Or small steps, a gradual bettering of conditions? A Chinese Spring won't happen overnight I think

[seanyroche]

@mebiggles1 there is know such thing as real democracy. just think about it for a moment.

[theNWdigital]

wow, cool anmiation but true story.

Which software did you use?

[sirlinkyalot]

This is stupid
