Looks like you are new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This may be old news for some but we just wind of this (Karthik via email), so we thought we’d discuss this anyway.

This past fall, the New York Television Festival featured a comedy named DWI: Deal With it.

Any person who has had the (mis)fortune of setting foot in a car dealership in the US, is unlikely to step away with a favorable opinion of car salespeople. In fact, car salespeople rank among the least respected professions, and not without good reason. DWI looks at the profession among a car salesperson’s perspective.

Rajeev Chibber (Turbans) plays the role of Samir, a car salesperson on DWI, the most experienced salesman on the lot. The question becomes Samir been on the lot for so long, his experiences with the customer have made him so jaded, he has become borderline racist??

Turns out Samir is not racist after all. He hates everyone of any ethnic group who ever set foot on his car dealership, but above all he hates Indian people.
