Seeking outsourcing victims for documentary
Hi, please don't abuse the contact info.

This is 30 days FX series (this is the same guy who did "Super Size me", this is exposure folks!) and they need some people
who have lost their job through either it was outsourced to India or they had to train their replacement who was on an H-1B or L-1
VISA before being fired. If you know of someone who has the classic case of this happening to them, please help out and see if they
want to do this show. Truly great exposure to the truth of labor arbitrage happening in America and how it destroys one's career.

(you can email me as well for additional contact/info)

ACCLAIMED DOCUMENTARY SERIES
SEEKS WORKER WHOSE JOB WAS OUTSOURCED/OFFSHORED TO INDIA

Actual Reality Pictures is currently seeking an articulate worker whose job was lost due to
their company outsourcing or offshoring their position to India. Our ideal candidate would
have a passionate opinion about this subject and be able to articulate their feelings of
losing a job to someone overseas. He would also have some knowledge of the issues
surrounding this phenomena. This is for the critically acclaimed TV series 30 Days. The
chosen candidate will receive reasonable monetary compensation for their participation.

Each episode of 30 Days places an individual in a living environment that is antithetical to
their upbringing, beliefs, religion or profession. We are currently developing a show
exploring the important and controversial issue of outsourcing jobs from the United
States, focusing primarily on those jobs that go to India. We are interested in creating a
lively debate on the subject of off-shoring and what it means the economic health of this
country's citizens. This project is a wonderful opportunity for someone to have their
point-of-view heard all over the country.

Our show aims to be neither exploitive nor mean-spirited. Our perfect candidate would be
willing to participate in an explorative journey, and be curious about the world.

It's important to note that this show is neither exploitive nor mean-spirited. The
individual that is chosen for this episode will be compensated $10,000 for their time and
participation. Topics for our upcoming season will deal with social and behavioral
differences in America ranging from ethnic to religious to economic.

Please feel free to contact me anytime. You can reach me toll free at: 877-786-2004. I
look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,
Michael Sutton
"30 Days" Casting Director

2. if you want a little fun, ask the ACM why it suppressed a job migration
report at the request of the Dept of Labor. The ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) is not an industry trade association; it is a professional association of engineers and programmers. The ACM would not release that report publicly nor to its own members whose dues paid for it because the results reportedly are predictly a dramatic decrease in jobs in engineering due to outsourcing.

3. They should also look at 'offpeopling'
How many more companies are either rendering people obsolete or making products that render people obsolete.
