Re: FLASH: (OT)Whirl Girl

[rodney entwisle]

dont get so offended... the cheaper than USA labour here in New Zealand is

used for the donkey work for a lot of what Americans see on TV... Donkey

work is not a derogitory term... And the reason most animation companies

cant use Indian labour is that animation for the most part cannot be done

well for English Speaking audiences by non English (as a first language)...

Thats why New Zealand and Australia have been reletivly popular in the past

to churn out the bulk of work for some episodes of many shows without so

much as a mention in the credits... they dont even put in the fact that it

was produced in the country of origin... not to mention the small studio or

any of the people that worked on it....


So before you think anything was a put down find the facts first... New

Zealand may have a better standrd of living, but we get treated in the same

way as India... Or even the way the US based people in this group feel like

when we talk about the economic reality of shipping yet more jobs offshore.

Everyone can get offended at many things I amd everyone else says... I could

get offended that a US company blocks my access to see whirl girl or one of

many other things that could be seen as insulting. I laugh at jokes about NZ

being deserted exept for the sheep. In fact I have found the people on this

list (most of which are American) very understanding and tollerant of many

things that are inflamitory like the political hot potato of immagrants

taking their jobs and forcing their pay rate down.


I personaly hope I don't run into too many Indians who hold strong views

about how I communicate my views accross. Coming from a place like New

Zealand I am sick of it wasting time and of course money having to be

politiclay correct to a group of people that is soposed to be working with

you and not complaining about the little ways you say things while getting

the job done. There are other workforces that can be tapped into if I am

ever in need of grunt work or donkey work.
