@pandas941 so they really say what is subtitled? I thought they were all saying stupid stuff like "right now people think we're saying what is in the subtitles, but they are fucking idiots cause they don't understand what we're saying, we rule the world, etc."
Hey, the second newscaster was on an episode of Outsourced, the TV show! He was the boss of the call center upstairs during the air conditioning/paint wars! Outsourced RIP
the lady at 1:07 is most prolly an actor hired by the ad firm responsible for this advertisement, and not a real worker. im from bangladesh and i know the body language and talking styles of the ppl.
Wow even Bangladesh has more jobs than the U.S.A. And lower paying too! They have been making treddle machines for over 100 years why not just use a treddle machine? Those plastic machines will break in less than a year of even moderated use. The video says they are expensive? They can't be more than $15.00.
labour unions are hindering the economic developement of developing countries. if a poor country wants to develope it needs foreighn investment. industralization wasnt easy for when western countries first wen through it so i dont know why people think it should be easy for these people.
"Their lives belong to me, it makes me feel like a god." Haha, holy crap! What I love best is the half dozen people in EVERY Onion vid comments section who don't know this is parody. I'll concede, however, that this is a bit too close to the truth and almost borders on un-funny.
@DII117 You're a fucking retard, I said about 7 billion. You went to check after I corrected you, and you're trying to correct me? You're a fucking idiot.
@DII117 yeah 2 billion documented people that have citizenship.
Lol. Everyone else is an illegal alien that is undocumented, or a ghetto offspring that was born in the privacy of their own home. *cough detroit cough*
The Smart Slaughterer has come out in the United States. It allows workers at slaughterhouses to slaughter 10,000 cattle an hour instead of 60, and work 23 hours a day instead of 10.
It works much like the Smart Stitch, and has also seen increases in work productivity!
It's about time that the world's exploited billions were blessed with a device that could turn their slavish sixteen hour days into slavish twenty-two hour days. It saddens me to know that the powers-that-be at Smart Stitch had to suffer with feelings of less-than godlikeness for so long.
They should do a proper cost benefit analysis Its very clear that an increase in whipping would generate a larger profit than a wide scale introduction of the Smart Stitch.
While employees self purchase of the Smart Stitch under threat of beating would be productive, focusing exclusively on this or mass purchasing the Smart Stitch would only lead to a loss of profit.
This video is brilliant. It is not merely a commentary about poor working conditions in developing nations or the large multinational corporations' desire for cheap labor that perpetuates these conditions. It is just as much a satire of the "always-on" corporate work culture, where employees are expected to be on call at all hours checking their Blackberrys, and to have company laptops so that they can bring their work with them everywhere, even on vacation. Think about that.
it's very sad, but ironically these factories are a god send for millions of people...instead of having no money at all they now have a little bit! :(
@ThorkilKowalski It's a satire. I am merely pointing out the nature of the comedy, and why it is funny to ME. You are more than welcome to debate the underlying socioeconomic and philosophical ramifications, but all I'm doing is having a good laugh at the video. Get off your high horse.
@petertwang well, corporations see people in poverty who can only offer labor to survive, so it is a win win situation when the economy of the struggling company becomes stronger and the company gets cheap labor. remember corporations have to stay alive also, they can't be patron saints when trying make money. if you don't like it, get offline because your computer was probably made in a third world country.
Do you believe this dude? He's gonna "get one for HIS kid?" What a sh*thead! "Hard work is the "secret" to success?" My Father always told me, "hard work never hurt anyone."

Your mind will outlast the disks in your back......
I'm from Satkhira District, Bangladesh and the translation is not very accurate. The accent also sounds very fake. I'm pretty sure they're Bengali people living abroad. Or maybe they're from Dhaka?
It is always like that *shrugs*. I am a Russian and I have yet to hear an American film which has a fluent Russian speaker. All have heavy Russian-English accents, sometimes faked to sound more stereotypically Russian, which only makes it clumsier, as the speakers have odd accents.
Heh, I just assumed it was stock footage of something else, with actors dubbed in. As an American that does not speak any Russian I would say it sounds dead on. I bet the public is too used to the older accent and would not realize what language was being presented if that changed. That or nobody cares enough to ensure proper accents when few people will know what is being said anyway.
Well it's better than horrible dubbing they did in 007 Die Another Day. That North Korean guy with messed up face had his voice changed whenever he spoke Korean lol
everyone has a role to play in the global value chain. consumers have a lot of power. if we hold retailers like wallmart accountable for where they source their goods, then unethical suppliers will have to change their ways in order to continue operating. that's why it's called the global movement for social justice and global corporate responsibility. it's not enough to blame the sweat shops in india
As much as I admit im learning and intrigued at you people debating these things on the net. I must ask? Why not CNN videos here in youtube? Must you people debate on a satirical video page?

Yeap. Whenever you see that 14 year old teenager shopping for yet another pair of jeans she'll wear just once in her life, come up and smack the shit out of her just for fun
I bought the onion's world atlas. It was very funny as usual from the onion but at times it felt very negative. Way to make fun of the world and the way we life onion. goes to show from you atlas that no one is better than the french.
two WTF are u a retarded seven year old or something keep your comments to yourself, I don't know where you picked up your anti-french ideals but I would suggest you question the adults in your life who have given you that perspective,
If you are and adult you are beyond my help and should probably personally resolve to end your racist ways or commit suicide and end your pitiful life,
ur discriminating against a group of people similar to racist ism but not the same, what you really are is a discriminating douche to be a racist you hate people of a Ethnicity when you discriminate you discriminate against religion sex preference age, anything than can alienate a certain type of people from the rest.
point is if you were racist if you hated the french because they were white but your what doing is discriminating because they are from france.
o yeah the french suck then what of the united states then? united states owes the french a lots of thank you because with out the french the united states would have never won against the British people in the war for there independence. learn facts of history before you say it been proven in history that they suck u ignorant moron.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't give a fuck, I'm not American (thank God). And also, the Americans totally saved the French's asses from Nazi Germany in WWII (I dunno why they wasted their time), and then that fucking GIMP DeGaulle (or however it's spelt) marched through Paris, claiming he rid France of German occupation, even though he didn't do shit and that crappy country surrendered after two weeks. FRANCE SUCKS HOLE.
These sweatshops are made in other countries by American companies.
Slavery is very real, and Americans are the number one practictioners. These women have no choice but to work in these sweatshops, otherwise thier children would starve (btw I know that this video is a joke, I love onion) Onion has, in its satire, exposed they way American treats other countries.
You're insinuating it is US companies hiring these individuals to work. It is not.
It is companies In Their Own Countries that hire them and dictate work practices. The US companies just put out contracts they pick up.
By your logic---
If I put a classified in the paper looking to buy a trampoline, and someone murders their neighbor to steal one to sell to me, I was the one guilty of murder.
It isn't US companies mistreating foreign workers, it is the companies the people work for.
Bull shit eslake. Where exactly are those jeans going? Old Navy? Macys? Walmart? In what country... India? I don't think so. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It is AMERICA who puts those companies in those ***POOR*** countries. In a poor country, there is NO jobs (imagine our depression 100x worse) the only job is those in a sweat shop; and they get paid for very little money... they can't help that either, because it's the only avaible job to them. Starve or be a Slave...
However if you knew that he had murdered someone to acquire the trampoline, and yet you continued to give the person business without complaint, you're not helping. Sure, American companies might not be mistreating the workers, but they're still supporting it.
You can follow that train on to the people who shop at the stores. We found out years ago that virtually every clothing supplier in the world was using that kind of labor.
Did the world go naked in protest, or did they continue to buy and wear clothing?
People love to say the US is always sticking its nose in where it doesn't belong, and out the other side of their mouth, they blame the US for things like this happening in other countries.
Ah, sorry, I must have skimmed what you wrote. US companies are not the sole perpetrators of the way the employees are treated, even if we might support it very indirectly. It is up to the companies to change their policies, definitely. If "virtually every clothing supplier" is using that kind of labour, then it's pretty difficult to avoid it as a consumer.
"virtually every" was something I hated to say, but there really wasn't a better way to put it.
Wal-Mart became the primary target when the mainstream media latched on to the stories, because they were also adding "Made In America" labels on imports from foreign sweatshops.
Companies (and consumers) buying from these places aren't blameless, but what retail store could afford investigations into every of their various suppliers all over the world?
I never realized that they actually used the real language when they do the stuff. I actually speak this, and this is legit, making it all the more funny.

I bought the onion's world atlas. It was very funny as usual from the onion but at times it felt very negative. Way to make fun of the world and the way we life onion. goes to show from you atlas that no one is better than the french.

If the Atlas felt negative that's a scary reflection of our human condition, isn't it, Ben?

Oh my God. The French are the worst fucking race known to man. Are you French? FUCK YOU! I hope you die.

French isn't a race. For Fucks' sake, I though you're Irish, not american...

Did I say race? I apologize, how American of me indeed. I meant nationality.
DaveO15 2 years ago
mate, one France is a country not a race,
two WTF are u a retarded seven year old or something keep your comments to yourself, I don't know where you picked up your anti-french ideals but I would suggest you question the adults in your life who have given you that perspective,
If you are and adult you are beyond my help and should probably personally resolve to end your racist ways or commit suicide and end your pitiful life,

Well, you're an idiot. If France isn't a race, then why am I a racist? Boom, roasted.
DaveO15 2 years ago
ur discriminating against a group of people similar to racist ism but not the same, what you really are is a discriminating douche to be a racist you hate people of a Ethnicity when you discriminate you discriminate against religion sex preference age, anything than can alienate a certain type of people from the rest.
point is if you were racist if you hated the french because they were white but your what doing is discriminating because they are from france.

I don't give a fuck, I'm not American (thank God). And also, the Americans totally saved the French's asses from Nazi Germany in WWII (I dunno why they wasted their time), and then that fucking GIMP DeGaulle (or however it's spelt) marched through Paris, claiming he rid France of German occupation, even though he didn't do shit and that crappy country surrendered after two weeks. FRANCE SUCKS HOLE.

America is the most corrupt country......
These sweatshops are made in other countries by American companies.
Slavery is very real, and Americans are the number one practictioners. These women have no choice but to work in these sweatshops, otherwise thier children would starve (btw I know that this video is a joke, I love onion) Onion has, in its satire, exposed they way American treats other countries.

You're insinuating it is US companies hiring these individuals to work. It is not.
It is companies In Their Own Countries that hire them and dictate work practices. The US companies just put out contracts they pick up.
By your logic---
If I put a classified in the paper looking to buy a trampoline, and someone murders their neighbor to steal one to sell to me, I was the one guilty of murder.
It isn't US companies mistreating foreign workers, it is the companies the people work for.

Bull shit eslake. Where exactly are those jeans going? Old Navy? Macys? Walmart? In what country... India? I don't think so. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. It is AMERICA who puts those companies in those ***POOR*** countries. In a poor country, there is NO jobs (imagine our depression 100x worse) the only job is those in a sweat shop; and they get paid for very little money... they can't help that either, because it's the only avaible job to them. Starve or be a Slave...

You still don't get it.
Take Wal-Mart for example.
You are basically saying Wal-Mart hires people in india and forces them to work in sweat shops.
That isn't what's going on.
A company like Mureva, an Indian company, owned and operated by Indians, hires Indian people to make things and runs sweat shops.
Mureva Sells the end result to wholesalers who then sell it to Wal-Mart, among other places around the world.
It isn't Wal-Mart/Macys/Old Navy running sweat shops.

However if you knew that he had murdered someone to acquire the trampoline, and yet you continued to give the person business without complaint, you're not helping. Sure, American companies might not be mistreating the workers, but they're still supporting it.

taylortaco,
You can follow that train on to the people who shop at the stores. We found out years ago that virtually every clothing supplier in the world was using that kind of labor.
Did the world go naked in protest, or did they continue to buy and wear clothing?
People love to say the US is always sticking its nose in where it doesn't belong, and out the other side of their mouth, they blame the US for things like this happening in other countries.
eslake 2 years ago
That's a very good point. We are supporting it just as well.
taylortaco 2 years ago
You missed the point again.
Should we run around naked to say we don't support the way some company on the other side of the world treats its employees?
Or should that company take responsability for its own actions and change their policies?
eslake 2 years ago
Ah, sorry, I must have skimmed what you wrote. US companies are not the sole perpetrators of the way the employees are treated, even if we might support it very indirectly. It is up to the companies to change their policies, definitely. If "virtually every clothing supplier" is using that kind of labour, then it's pretty difficult to avoid it as a consumer.
taylortaco 2 years ago
"virtually every" was something I hated to say, but there really wasn't a better way to put it.
Wal-Mart became the primary target when the mainstream media latched on to the stories, because they were also adding "Made In America" labels on imports from foreign sweatshops.
Companies (and consumers) buying from these places aren't blameless, but what retail store could afford investigations into every of their various suppliers all over the world?
The quickest fix is to go to the source
