I read recently that some fast-food companies are consolidating their order taking into call centers. So the next time you're in a drive thru it's possible that the person taking your order is in another state or country. Then they wire the order to your local fast-food joint. This is supposed to reduce errors, but it got me thinking… what if we eventually outsource these jobs to India like Gateway does? And India is apparently outsourcing to China, right? And China computerizes everything.

So here's a little Orwellian look at what your next trip to Burger King might look like.

This is one of the funniest videos that is painful to watch. For a segment about online audo downloading, a BBC interviewer thinks she's speaking with the editor of a technology website- New and Wireless. What she doesn't realize is her interviewee is a cab driver that was booked for another segment. What makes this video so delightful is: a) The cab driver's face when he's introduced, b) That the cab driver decides to wing it and offers some commentary on the subject, and c) That when the mistake is realized, they switch to the real expert without acknowledging the blunder.
