Oh My! I am still Rolling on Floor Laughing (ROFL)..
This is one of the funniest video I saw lately and guess what is it about? Indian Call Centres!
Made by Andy Blitz and showed on Conan O'Brian's show.

Andy has problems with pop-ups and calls for the company's call centre. When he realizes that the lady on the other end of the phone is actually located in India he takes the first plane and brings his desktop to show her the problem. Very funny!!!

And here is another one about a similar topic, but something completely different:
A medieval helpdesk try to explain the new technology (a book!) to the user.
With English subtitles as it was made in Norwegia.

LOL!

(p.s. sorry if the videos was already posted on GZ somewhere in blogs or in forum threads.)

The phrase "surfing the Internet" was first popularized in print by Jean Armour Polly, a librarian, in an article called Surfing the INTERNET, published in the University of Minnesota Wilson Library Bulletin in June, 1992. Although Polly may have developed the phrase independently, slightly earlier uses of similar terms have been found on the Usenet from 1991 and 1992, and some recollections claim it was also used verbally in the hacker community for a couple years before that. Polly is famous as "NetMom" in the history of the Internet.
