An abusive call made by two prominent radio jockeys to a call centre in India has outraged listeners and prompted demands for the duo's resignation.

The live call, made during the Philadelphia-based morning show of RJs Star and Bucwild, ended with one of the RJ's repeatedly calling the female call centre employee a 'bitch' and a 'rat eater' and threatening to choke her.

No sense in it. They should be fired.

Looks like they've been suspended - after a LOT of protest emails & phone calls.

I don't mind a little outrage to make a point, but what sort of idiocy was this? The poor Indian was only trying to better herself. Perhaps these boneheads should call some American CEOs, and leave the Indians alone.

Star: You're a filthy rat eater. I'm calling about my American six-year-old white girl. How dare you outsource my call? Get off the line, bitch (laughter, applause, end of call).

Wow! Great comedy! What sense of humour!(clap! clap! clap!) </sarcasm>

Star: Listen, b****! Don't get slick with the mouth! Don't you get slick with me, b*****!

Steena: Now if you continue to speak this language, I will disconnect the call.

Language problem alright. Now I get it why they have problems understanding our "Indian English".

Disgusting beyond words. However I do heartily approve of the now-legendary incident last year when a pair of spanish-language, Miami-based DJ's somehow got through to Fidel and strung him along for a few minutes before telling him he was punk'd.
