Among the speech’s many highlights, Cook talks about a cross-burning he witnessed growing up, and the impact it had on the values that shape him today.

Doesn’t apple use Chinese slave labor to manufacture ipods and ipads? This man is fucking hilarious. Human rights and human dignity are useful principles!!! Yes!! They can be used to improve the apple brand image while slavery and inhumanity can be used to decrease the price of the products that brand image sells! Genius!!
