Video clip on ordering a burger at a drive-in

Outsourcing of jobs by rich to poor countries is a fact of life and most of us have learned to live with fake accents (and names) but many of us also find that sometimes it is hard to get things done due to communication challenges.

It has been known for a while that McDonald's has been testing a technology that would put all the order takers in a call center (in other words, the person you would place your order with would be in a remote location). this video clip makes fun of what happens when you simply can't place your order the right way because either the guy doesn't understand you, or is based in India, or even worse, is a stupid computer.

Maybe we need Paris Hilton to start taking our burger orders.
