Greenpeace Admits Targeting Apple Grabs Headlines

An anonymous reader writes "Gizmodo published this morning allegations by the bromine industry claiming that Greenpeace's report on the iPhone was inaccurate and alarmist. They got an official rebuttal to the bromine industry by Greenpeace, but the most interesting part is their acknowledgment that their targeting of Apple, even while they have similar reports on every manufacturer, is a deliberate attempt to grab headlines. While it's logical and not surprising, I find it quite shocking to see them be so cavalier, and even hypocritical, about it."

no. the top five photographs of all time is the absolute truth about those pictures. the top five reasons to vote for Ron Paul are real, reasonable reasons. the funniest clip of colbert ever on youtube, is well, the funniest ever. that's not offensive or sensationalist - it's the honest to Dawkins truth.

I just hate to see such a humble, unassuming company as Apple, content to attend modestly to their own private matters, dragged out into public scrutiny. This kind of thing can ruin a quiet little family company like Apple Computer.

Totally works too!

Admitting targeting Apple to grab headlines grabs headlines too :)

Now, how long until this recursion dies with out of memory error...

We're talking about Greenpeace here. Hitting them where it hurts means pulling Phish from iTunes.

Oh, sure, you'll take out a few unarmed hippies on a boat, but stick a Nazi army in Paris and you're all, like, "Oui Monsieur! aauuuuhhhhh.... je voulais dire.... Javol ha Commandante!"

Ah, but Bromine is in Group VIIb, one down from Chlorine. Therefore it must be evil!

Watch out Iodine, you're next!

Evidence? We don't have to give you no stinking evidence! (Well, maybe we'll have some next week. We loaned ours to SCO, and all we get lately is an answering machine...)
