Oprah is all about the cash. Of course she's going to defend sweatshops.

I saw the owner of American Apparel on Charlie Rose once and while I don't think he said "I'm making money faster than I can count it", that was the impression I got. He charges more, but the quality is better. It's a fair trade-off as far as I'm concerned. They don't have to make something in Bangladesh in order to make money, they do it because of greed.

I do enjoy the whole "they are helping these people out" nobility of the operation though. And I know when they find a group of people that will work for even lower wages and under less stringent guidelines, they will nobly put a lock on the factory door and walk away.

Bla bla bla. I wonder if all the "formaldehyde in the baby blanket" and the "Lead Paint Squad Action Figures" stories will wake us up. I doubt it.
