Few people like calling companies who outsource to India but this guy takes it WAY too far.

Talk about being set up, has a point though IMO, still funny

Sorry, I disagree, referring to Indians as "rat eaters" and calling her a bitch constantly isn't funny, unless of course you're referring to the American making the call, his complete ignorance is quite amusing in a pitying kind of way.

The guy's an idiot-he rang with the full intention of abusing whoever picked up the phone.

He's been listening to too many Jerky Boys CDs by the sound of it!

Still an idiot though.

Of course he did, it was a radio station jock trying to wind, and succeeding in doing it.

Yep, a fool, but I found it amusing, might just be me

Maybe I'm assuming incorrectly, but do you think it was acceptable for him to call her a "rat eater" just because it was meant to be a joke?

As I said, maybe OTT but hey, wind-ups go on all the time, sometimes they get out of hand and sometimes the wind-up merchant gets their comeuppance, but to answer your question, no, to call the lady a rat-eater was not right, but life goes on

No it isn't acceptable, it's damn right disgusting

The Jerkey Boys are clever..oh and funny too.

This guy just phoned someone, abused them and hung up. There's nothing clever or funny about that. He's just a moronic idiot.

It's just an example of rather untalented presenter who won't put the effort into making an entertaining programme. What's worse is that he was repeating the call from earlier in the day.....what? Like it was going to be funny the second time around?

The presenter seemed to be yet another arrogant, ignorant, xenophobic assh**e american.

There are no words adequate to describe how I feel after listening to that. I have no idea what the laws are in the US, but if any DJ had pulled a stunt like that on a radio station in the UK, he would have been hauled up in front of a judge and handed down a hefty fine, or possibly a spell behind bars.

What an ignorant moron. I cannot believe the way he spoke to that woman.

aliferste · 13-01-2005, 15:27

Appalling behaviour. And the Americans wonder why the rest of the world dont like them !

TheBlueRaja · 13-01-2005, 15:42

Shocking really - im surprised to hear that sort of stuff still goes on - anywhere.

But tarring all americans with the same brush as this idiot is just as bad IMO.
