"Outsourced": The Reviews Are In, and They are Sweary!
Last night, NBC premiered “Outsourced,” the show that I am not going to watch about call centers and labor inequity and how weird Indians are, the latter two things definitely being stuff I’m not up to being amused about. Sorry, humorless! Also, what, they couldn’t find a role for my high school buddy Ajay Naidu? Hell no then. But others watched!
• “I defer to African-Americans on issues of minstrel in this country and whether it’s worth it or not. Oh, nah? It’s not. Okay. What the fuck!!!”
• “But, if I may add my two cents? FUCK THIS SHOW IN THE FACE UNTIL IT DIES.”
Related: you know what’s really annoying? I strolled through Google News results for “Outsourced” to see what people were saying and you know what’s there? Every newspaper in the country with a mild, meaningless review and then a reader-grabbing question: “What about you? Did you watch it? What did you think?” When did our nation’s entertainment writers become their own commenter’s whores, eh?
