You knew this was coming: NBC sitcom about Indian call center

DateTuesday, May 25, 2010 at 12:05AM

Thursday night slot for show about a call center in India: "A comedy where cultural differences are a novelty."

Like the cheesehead, goes well with the sacred cow.

America, at its best, has always been a if-you-can't-beat-'em,join-'em mindset when it comes to economics. The first best step in revitalization is de-demonizing your competitors and learning from them in the process.

The film "Outsourced" is lovely. If you haven't seen it, rent it.

Shades of Gung Ho!

This a TV adaption of a small Indy film of the same name.

The film was a charming romantic comedy and well worth the time watching. It was a good business film as well.
