Americans – you should stop outsourcing your homeworks to India

Recent polls have shown that a fifth of the Americans can’t locate the US on a world map!

“I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some-a people out there in our nation don’t have that, and I believe our education, like, such as in South Africa and Iraq everywhere, like, such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the US should help the US, or should help South Africa, and should help Iraq, and should help Asian countries so that we’re able to build up our future.”


That was what the Miss Teen USA 2007 (South Carolina) answered when asked, “Recent polls have shown that a fifth of the Americans can’t locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?”

See, this is why the Americans should stop outsourcing their school homeworks to India!

  1. Sheeesh she’d be a bloody nightmare!

  2. … and you’re saying people in India are more educated and intelligent?

    Stupid people are everywhere. The world needs a few stupid people. Get over it.

    And believe it or not the girl in that video isn’t stupid.. she was nervous because she was on camera. It happens.

  3. No Jethro, Indians are definitely not. I was just worried if some Americans have been educated (outsourced) by stupid Indians! ;-)

  4. @Tink: I really wish that she kept mum than babbling those crap.

  5. classic! you would think that the grammar/knowledge police will not invoke DAISNAID

  6. @Brajeshwar

    uh uh! Wait a minute? Now you saying Indians are stupid?

    goes to the phone and calls up goons in Bombay and US
    tomorrow’s headlines read, ‘brajeshwar was attacked by americans and indians alike for saying they are stupid’

    You better watch out dude!

    hahahaha.

  7. She’s cute, so she can be stupid :) but yes, the homework outsourcing cut be dangerous for the not-so-cute ones out there :)

  8. Basing one’s opinion on what a beauty pageant contestant says is stupid in itself. 90% of the contestants look great in a bathing suit but probably couldn’t locate the US on a map themselves.

  9. @Arul: LOL

  10. I bet a fifth of Indians have never seen a world map.

  11. Everyone in my office just gathered around and watched this video. We were just discussing this earlier. It’s too bad that this is what people think of when they think of America… Honestly, most of us are smarter than this!

  12. Don’t worry, people don’t really think Americans are stupid. Even if they don’t tell you, most people get their inspiration from America.

    I found the video funny enough to come up with a daring and wicked title. If you watch the status bar while playing the video, you’ll notice that the actual copy of the video is hosted under a folder named “humor”.

  13. @Manish: You’re right, I just realize that most Mumbai people I met never knew of any North East states even being part of India (leave alone the geography of the world).

  14. “Stupid people are everywhere. The world needs a few stupid people. Get over it.”

    You bet. This dumb chick had me laughing in splits for a good few minutes. Bush must be proud of her.

  15. India tech support is the shittiest on the planet!! Just ask Michael Dell and his multi million dollar law suit between him and New York State!! India sucks ass in tech, sorry if the answer is not on google or your fucking manual morons!!!

  16. As an American born indian…FUCK YOU. Smelly bastards keep coming over here, working for peanuts, and writing shitty code. Keep it up assholes, Obama’s going to crack down on companies shipping our jobs over there; see how you laugh then

  17. I apologize for my fellow Americans. We’re not all jerks like greg and suresh j. In fact, I’d like to come out to Mumbai sometime; I hear the tech industry is really booming there- and I’ve always wanted to see India anyway.

    So if you see me in Mumbai, don’t beat me up because a couple guys on your blog were jerks.

  18. @Zack Jordan

    Welcome to India. Indians love White, Blacks, Asian, Hispanic and all other foreigners, so any foreigner visiting India will definitely enjoy their stay.

  19. Btw, don’t worry about Suresh J. There are people like him and we’re used to it. In fact, we sympathize and pity them.

  20. as expected pathetic americans, cant think of anything else than sex and hollywood,by the way nuckleheads we indian’s are the ones who created maths and surgery and wireless technology and medical science and pentium chip and hotmail and rockets… so next time you want to compare your sorry assess with us remember ypu are not even in our league, we dont rely on pool of migrants to run our economy,we are compitent enough to run it ourself unlike you pitifull bastards.

    Hi,
    I am an Indian and I work for a Dell Call Center in India, catering to US based Dell Computer users.
    And, by the way, I can speak, read and write English perfectly well, with a neutral accent while speaking. All my US customers appreciate my level of English.
    There is this hue and cry about outsourced Dell technical support to India.
    Well, let’s look at the other side of the coin as well.
    Following are the scenarios that I encounter on a daily basis, with reference to US customers calling in for technical support.
    *** Computer user having and using a computer for 3 years,but not aware that the first row of keys on his keyboard (on the top), contains the F1 to F12 keys : it takes him 17 minutes and 23 seconds to find that out,while explaining to him very clearly,step by step, where the F8 key is located : is the keyboard the size of a football field ???
    ***People is the US never read the terms and conditions of a sale / contract. It is CLEARLY mentioned in the Hardware Warranty, that software related issues are NOT covered : the Hardware Warranty is purely for the hardware components of the computer : does this point out to ignorance ? No, but rather illiteracy.
    *** How funny it is getting a call from an educated American woman asking for her yahoo password and she belives that we can give her the password : All we can do is to guide her to the correct link on the yahoo page, to get / generate a new password,etc.
    *** What about a man who thinks that the power button is the windows start menu ? : Even a 8 year old school going kid in a remote village of India knows how to power on & shut down a computer.
    *** What about the American who enjoys going to xxx sites and gets viruses and then blames Dell for this issue and expects free support to remove the viruses : Wake up US … nothing except oxygen is free. You need technical support for your mistakes, then you gotta pay for it. Dell is not a charity organisation.
    *** Here was one of by best ever experience : What about the nice caller from US that gets error 404 : page cannot be displayed and after conferencing with comcast the customer is informed called that he has not payed his monthly bill for the last 3 months? : Height of ignorance : I would say height of being dumb.
    *** And these are the kind of US customers, who demand to speak to a supervisor, to resolve their issues.
    Hey, when you call for technical support, be patient and co-operative. The technicians are well trained, friendly and are here to help you out. If not, then we always have the option to press the “Release” button on the phone, so that you will have to call back and again be on the queue for another 30 – 45 aggravating minutes.
    So, when you call technical support, be patient, be kind and be co-operative.
