The "related phones" advert at the bottom of the article made for an even stronger dystopian feel than I was expecting.

Phonearena is reblogging and adding negative value.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.idropnews.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;chinese-kid-now-24-disabled-for-life-after-selling-kidney-for-an-iphone-4&#x2F;90317&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.idropnews.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;chinese-kid-now-24-disabled-f...</a>

Received a settlement from an underground hospital? That doesn&#x27;t sound too underground. Are China OK with &quot;underground&quot; hospitals then, and just sue them when things go wrong?

Lasted longer than an iPhone 4 would have.

So this kid is dying, Phone Arena is using his story to generate views (and income), and they leave this gem of a blurb at the bottom: &quot;The moral of this story? It is better to purchase the things you want by paying with the fruits of your own hard earned labor instead of using a shortcut.&quot;<p>These guys are assholes. I suggest a boycott, and a DDOS.
