Explosive liquid thoughts on all things Indian. Warm & pleasant sometimes. Painful & disgusting at other times. Always brown.

Homer Simpson Heads To Bangalore


Even American cartoon character jobs are getting outsourced to India. In this week's episode of The Simpsons titled "Kiss, Kiss Bang Bangalore", Homer's nuclear power plant gets outsourced to Bangalore and he is sent there to train the new staff. In typical Homer fashion, the power of his new position goes to his head and lands him in trouble.

This is truly a sign that India has made its way into the American mainstream - it's psyche, imagination and now its pop culture. Although I'd imagine there will be plenty of stereotypical representations of India and Indians in the show, if we can laugh at ourselves, this should prove to be quite entertaining.
