Here is the story: My mother's birthday is January 30th and well me, my older sister, my father, and my younger sister got her a red iPod. And as you all know the red iPods are suppose to benifit the HIV/AIDS awareness in Africa. Well my older sister bought the iPod with of course dad's money. After she had already paid for it, it said out of 200 DOLLARS only TEN of it went to the cause. I know they have to make a profit but, when you think about it the red iPods were only limited edition so they won't be selling that long and plus Apple is making tons of money off of pc's and other iPods and stuff that they sell. So I don't understand why not all of the 200 dollars go to the benifit. Makes me sick and I feel like vomitting. :X (I could be wrong about the limited edition crap but that is info my older sister told me) |

http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/red/ It says so right on the page though. :S ![]() I understand where your coming from but I don’t really see why you should be disgusted with Apple, I mean at least they are donating some of their profits to good cause unlike most companies.

Well I didn't buy the iPod so I didn't know, my sister told me it wasn't until after she purchased it that she noticed that. She is also a moron so what can I say. :clown:
Yeah true but, when you really think about it in a way they are just using a great epidemic for a profit. Apple is such a big company they could be giving more but, they just wanna be greedy. Makes me really sad. If I had money like that I would send it over there. But I don't even have a job, hmmmmm...I have 17 bucks.

But they're not being greedy. The Red Nano is priced the same as all the others, but apple is taking a 10 dollar loss on them over other iPods. |

It's not Apple. It's Product(RED). There are a lot of (RED) Products, including the RAZR Phone by Motorola, Clothes by GAP, and (RED) Converse Shoes. Out of all of the products, only 5% is usually given to charity. Apple followed the trend. |

Yeah very true, and this is going to contradict everything I have stated but, at least they are giving something. I was just reading post and listening what my father was telling me and really at least they are doing something. Not a lot but it is something. I don't know I just thought maybe more could be done. My father was telling me that since they started doing this (Apple with the red nanos) then other companies might wanna join in to make some money and next thing you know it there will be a crap load of money going over there. So I am wrong to get upset because apple might spark a chain reaction in companies....or celebrities. :haha: sorrey apple....... :'( lol just so much more companies and celebrities can be doing......*cough*oprahbasballplayersashleesimpson(she doesn't need that money she didn't even earn it)*cough* |

I actually think it's a lot, with how many people actually buy iPods, the $10 adds up. |

If they gave all $200 towards a charity, and most people purchase the red ipod, then they would lose a lot of money. It's not greed, it's just business. Everyone needs money to run a business. If you are that upset over it, just donate $200 towards a charity of your choice. Solved ! |

If you don't like it, donate the money to the charity directly. |

Apple is a huge company. Huge companies jobs are to make money. They ussually don't care what they have to exploit to get it, so get used to it. Greed overcomes Caring. |
