OT-Thanks to All & What Is An American? - Rita

[Guest guest]

More and more companies are outsourcing, mainly India. What sucks is

I call to get some support of some kind or they call me for paying my

bills and they don't even speak decent English, so it costs me

precious time going back and forth just trying to get them to

understand what I'm talking about.

 

Here's a funny video about outsourcing, but I have to warn you it's

strong language. Please note that I do not necessarily condone the

views of Ill Will Press, but they sure make me laugh. Have a go:
