Isn't there a deeply racist undernote to this joke, given that most of the exported programming jobs tend to go to ethnically specific countries like India or China ?

Maybe it's not meant to make fun of people, but point out how some people are treated in sweatshops.

Creative, but I didn't find the funnyparts very well. If you go to their domainname with no sub-directories, you find that newtechusa is actually a real company. I don't know if this is the work of a prankster employee or actually sanctioned by the company. My suggestion is that it be mirrored in case the company finds out and kills it.

It's obviously satire, and NewTechUsa is well aware of its existence. Read their legal info:

I'm sure the employees are enjoying it as much as everyone else!

I can tell you I wish some of my old employers had such a sense of fun and vision!

It's a response to all the OUTSOURCING crap news coming out . I think it's funny. Another idea is to teach prisoners IT programming . Bank software ? haahaa.

Well, you see, zee Shrub is a maggot. White, slimy, single-digit IQ grub. His top aides are war-mongering chicken-hawks. Once upon a time, a couple years ago, these sub-human atrocities got together and wrote The Project for the New American Century, which basically happens to be a world domination plan. So now this redneck in a suit is busy executing this plan.

But, you're right: they shouldn't insult primates. Most primates I've met were very cool and funny creatures. Wed, 06 Aug 2003 06:01:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? 1. Primates have been the outsourcing trend forever. Humans are primates.

2. Insulting people (such as GWB) by likening them to great apes is offensive. Great apes are sensitive, intelligent, and highly endangered.

3. Some races do resemble non-human primates more than others. So what? Wed, 06 Aug 2003 08:52:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? "Only if you think people of those races resemble primates. I don't, do you?"

You are a primate. So am I.

I think it's a great site. I particularly liked the interview photos.

You libs are SO eloquent. Maybe when you leave grade school you can come up with more than flimsy insults.

GWB is cleaning up Clintons security and foreign policy fu#%-ups. Wed, 06 Aug 2003 12:11:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? This website is racist. When India and China were part of british imperium, english used to treat indians and chineses like monkeys.

Now indians are the first alums on english schools...

Too funny. As for the rest of ya-lighten up: take a break fropm the flame wars and have a laugh! Wed, 06 Aug 2003 14:35:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread? http://www.osnews.com/thread? It was well known in financial world. I cannot find the reference but I guess it's somehwere on Motleyfool. There was an article that monkey doing random stock picks will have better perfroming portfolio than average mutual fund manager. That's why investing is referred as "monkey business" and etrade commercial had chimp as main character.
I like the talent page - I think I should add "well mannered" to my resume. I doubt I can compete with those skills although.

Whoever created this site should look up the classification for humans. Humans belong to the order primates (as do apes, monkeys, etc) so it takes some of the humor out of the website...
