"World's CEOs March in Support of World Child Labor Day"

"Child Labor Builds Strong Bones."

Billionaires for Bush has the most excellent coverage.

“No Child Laborer Left Behind”

Company execs with a keen eye on the bottom line have been utilizing child labor for years and rightfully see it as a win-win. Not only are we happy to create jobs for every member of the family, but for every 16 hours a child spends working in one of our factories, that's 16 hours they don't spend in a ramshackle home.

And don't forget that smaller people demand much smaller paychecks. Hell, sometimes we just give them the loose change we have rattling around in our pockets! And that makes our shareholders very happy.

But the greatest joy is watching tiny fingers learn to stitch together sneakers. Granting them the gift of a sort-of skilled mechanized trade is one of the more heartwarming experiences a Billionaire can have.

So put your hands together for World Child Labor Day, June 12th! But please don't call it "labor", it's really "Play for Pay".


Just in case - this is Satire. Brought to you by:

1. Billionaires for Bush
Billionaires for Bush speaks for me.

I run their bumper stickers on the left side of my Ranger tailgate. My rear view mirror stares per mile has increased 357% thanks to B for B!
