Do you believe that? The computer is only a couple of years old. I've barely used the DVD drive!
WE MUST NUKE THE EVER-LOVING DOGSHIT OUT OF CHINA IMMEDIATELY!!!
Oh come on bro you can fix that!
Yeah, but that ain't the point. A brand new belt shouldn't break after two years.
ALL CHINESE PEOPLE MUST DIE!!!
I'll tell you what's raciss, sweetheart. Raciss is making a bunch of cheap, worthless crap and dumping it on ol' roundeye.
FUCK CHAIRMAN MAO IN HIS ASS!!!!!!!1
who's at fault, the slave workers in china making shit with shoddy materials, or the jackass westerner buying it from them?
:p
I'm supposed to know what's inside a computer I ordered online?
It's a fucking rubber belt. If you can't get that right, what else are you gonna do in life? I mean you literally had one job.
NAPALM SHENZHEN!!!!!

The voice of reason speaks again!

Yeah, I should've e-mailed Best Buy and asked them where the belt on the DVD drive was made before I ordered. That would've been the reasonable thing to do. Silly me.
Yeah, just you remember that next time bucko!
I will. And if he says, "Oh, that belt was made in China," I'll ask him, "Got one with a belt made in the USA?" And when he says no, I'll say, "Well, I guess I'll just have to do without a computer then."
And the moral of this story is: it's easy to moralize about being picky about where your shit was made, but good luck finding one made anywhere else.

[Send me one of your spare belts then.]
I'm gonna order my replacement belt from Fred Marrs, the tape recorder belt guy. He'll charge me $25 for that little black rubber band, but, by gum, it'll outlast the entire data center!
I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER.
I love it when your panties slide off.
