Outsourced

NBC has a new "comedy"called Outsourced scheduled this fall 2010. From previews,it looks like they are using every East Indian stereotype they can to garner laughs.
I don't give a rat's behind about stereotypes, if I did, I'd be pissed about how fathers have been portrayed since the advent of sitcoms. Fathers(husbands)are easily manipulated by the family, condescended to by the "smarter" wife. Dumb as a bag of bricks etc.
But, I digress.
How does NBC think offshore outsourcing is a good premise for a comedy? According to the Halogen Corporation, "Outsourcing statistics show that the largest percentage of jobs being outsourced is in Information Technology, by around 28%. The next largest field is human resources taking 15% of the outsourcing market, followed closely by sales and marketing outsourcing with 14% and financial services outsourcing at 11%. The remaining 32% is made up of other different processes such as administrative outsourcing." These stats are just for India.
In this day of a trashed economy & thousands upon thousands losing their livelihood due to outsourcing, I don't get NBC's concept of comedy. Current guestimates are that the U.S. has lost between 4- 6 million jobs directly due to offshore outsourcing, with another 14 million at risk.
The best that can be said about this "comedy" is it is offensive on multiple levels.
NBC has had the lowest ratings they've for years (Zucker you suck). Their ratings are right in the toilet. What else is in a toilet...crap...like the "comedy" Outsourced.
