Thanks Bee. I make fun of Indian accents because at some level I have one too. But your point is well taken.

Since I live in India, I haven't seen these ads; but I understand the discussion. Santosh, if you object to the Americans making fun of our accents, then, perhaps you should also stop doing that. Aren't you also poking fun at your fellow countrymen's accents when you write “Amrika”, “vaat”, “hawdawgs” and so on in your blogs? Having said that, I really enjoy reading what you write, you've great style and a uber cool way of presenting serious matter in a funny vein, reminding me of the chakyars in Koodiyattom.

It's bad enough our jobs are outsourced to India and unemployment has hit an all time high, but now we are insulted with commercials like this! I will never be a Metro PCS customer because of this!

Although I don’t agree with all you wrote here, I must admit I do admire your style of writing.
