Drummers are replaced by drum-machines.
Machines are replaced by third-world wage-slaves.
Wage-slaves ought to start a giant drum circle and tour the world, like a percussion version of the Harlem Globetrotters.

 

If they started a drum-circle, they'd be penniless hippies, not wage-slaves.

But okay, I was fooled by a spambot, again.

This raises the question, though: If foreign telemarketers can't pass a Turing test, does that mean they're not technically human?

 

Why of course, you can't be a telemarketer and a human being at the same time. You sold your soul - don't expect sympathy. Before we start to apply the Final Solution it should be noted that it has nothing to do with being foreign, it's not a racial issue.

Nice shameless plug of an established online joke there, really I'm impressed.
