SAN JOSE, CA (TDR) - Hundreds of angry programmers took to the streets burning Indian flags, and chanting anti-Indian slogans after Wednesday morning production meetings. The protesters - mostly young males - have reached a boiling point after years of technological imperialism and failed Indian programming policies. Busy midday traffic came to a halt as this once proud high-tech mecca was transformed into raging, socially-challenged powder keg of humanity...

Heh heh.

Some experts fear this mock violence may soon escalate into actual bloodshed. "When it comes to deep seeded traditions and beliefs, emotion could overcome common sense." said Edward Cullhagy, professor of Inter-Cultural Technology at Howyflyl University.

BEHEAD those who say programming isn’t peaceful!

The writing is particularly good.

The protest took an ugly turn when several young men paraded a life sized replica of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh through the crowd. Angry programmers - some as young as 13 - proceeded to beat the mannequin mercilessly with C++ manuals, then set it ablaze as the throng cheered on.

Careful, this is the net, someone might believe this. Somewhere.

I’m surprised large groups of disaffected workers from some of America’s industrial base haven’t rioted already. Steel workers, auto workers, etc.

Oh the horrors!!!

NOT. I smell an onion.

Hee-hee.

With my previous company, I and the only other U.S. citizen programmer were fired from our jobs because of this situation.

That company hired programmers from both India and Russia.

A year later, the company closed down because they could never get the software to work. They had fired the only two people that understood the problem!

Michigan comes to mind. They actually were the only state with a net loss of population in the USA. Not to hijack this particularly good thread, I’m surprised the governor, senators and congressmen of Michigan get elected over and over again, all D’s.

Sounds like Dell’s tech help. I would rather buy a new computer than call their technical support. Yet McCain loves NAFTA.

“burning their C++ manuals.”

Great stuff. You can only push a programmer so far before he tears off his wrist brace and takes it to the streets!
