So Gap have announced that they will destroy the clothes that were made for them in sweatshops in India. Precisely what does this achieve? Surely it would be more sensible to either donate the clothes to the needy children and their families, or to sell them as normal and then donate the profits accordingly.
I do wonder how many of the people who jumped onto the morality bandwagon, demanding the destruction of the clothes, are the same people who like to jump on the 'we should recycle more' bandwagon.
Incidentally, what is a bandwagon, and why do people like to jump onto it?

A good point, well made, odd decision.
I think a bandwagon comes from the way that bands that are yet to make it big aren't able to afford tour buses, so tend to travel to gigs in horse drawn wagons.
And people tend to try to jump on said wagon just before they expect the band to make it big.
