“Outsourced” was funny & I never felt it was funny because I was laughing at any culture. I just thought it was funny because the characters were funny characters who could have been funny in any culture. The one thing I always wondered about was all the extras in some scenes. Most sitcoms rarely have a large group of extras in any scene. Not long before “Outsourced” debuted, I saw “Bollywood Hero” starring Chris Kattan. I thought that was a pretty good take on the old “fish-out-of-water” scenario.

She likes the white guys

Nothing new in that...most pretty Indian girls I know are grossed out by Indian men.

No Dewulf is NOT a staged name to protect her family! lol..she was married to James Dewulf of Dewulf Concrete and recently got divorced but kept his name. Her original last name is Ahmed! This I know for a fact.

Haha I was really just looking for an excuse to post that picture.

Anyway some of the cast members are talented and hopefully will go on to better roles, like the adorkable Parvesh Cheena and Anisha Nagarajan.

Outsourced has been cancelled. It's not coming back. Good riddance. I watched several episodes. Some were bearable, but most were atrocious.

Next to get ax hopefully will be that show about public parks. Aziz Ansari's character is one shade above that of Jonathan from 30 Rock. Psst, they're laughing AT you, not with you.

What impressed me about the Outsourced finale was the production values were pretty decent for a show that had a chance to be canceled. As far as the horse and fire stuff, that is primarily a north indian type deal. Then again, with South Indian families increasingly copying Bollywood , who knows, they may start having a horse and fire for South Indian stuff too. I was in Hyderabad for a recent visit and my cousin’s wedding had so many pre wedding parties, including what I assume was borrowed from Bollywood movies – Sangeeth. A few of the guests actually took lessons from a choreographer for staged dance routines. And not your family friendly classical dance routines. Some bollywood style moves . I heard of a few other weddings around the same time where they brought in dancers from other countries. I guess wedding business is a good business to have in India to take advantage of rich folk who can’t wait to show off their money.

"Lol. Spoken like a man who has never been made to sit through an episode of Sex & the City. "

I did'nt say that many women are not shallow, it is just that the proportion is far less then men IMO.

“Yes, the word is that not only did he date Coulter, but somehow he was able to date Ingraham. Funny, considering Coulter always derides liberals as not being manly enough, yet she dates a dork who speaks like a muppet. Can you visualize the two having sex?”

She dated Bill Maher too…maybe she has a thing for liberal men?
