Ghosts With Shit Jobs

submitted by critical_d

1 decade 3 years 4 months ago

From Boingboing: Jim Munroe sez, "In the future, jobs still suck -- but in whole new ways. The economic collapse of the west is complete and North Americans are a cheap labour pool for wealthy Asian and Indian markets. A Chinese documentary show focuses on these unlucky enough to have been born in the slums of Toronto in a special report that translates as 'Ghosts With Shit Jobs'. The lo-fi sci-fi mockumentary feature offers both a commentary on the economic downturn and a model for surviving in it -- it was made for $4000."

I think the future will see all areas of the globe equalize into a thin crust of wealthy, and a large pool of (white and blue collar) cheap labor.

This video is the effect; here is the cause.

mrsid cannot award a quality point for this post because mrsid does not have enough Power Points - ignoring quality request by mrsid. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)

They never actually said the Cantonese phrase! It is 鬼佬, and if you transliterate into English it's Gwai Lo and it is the slang for a foreigner but means something like "white ghost". There's even a Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia page for it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gweilo

Ghosts in Beijing has been added as a related post - related requested by notarobot on that post.
