Funny Outsourcing Story

I have an outsourcer who I like (okay he is cheap) and he is always asking if I have any work for him at sub $2/hour. Well, I got an article to video script and decided to let him figure it out and make some videos for a niche I made for my wife. He sent me a private sample on youtube and I made some change requests and tell him to redo. Everything looks good, but fortunately I watch all the video. The niche is for grocery coupons (my wife is in the coupon cult now!) My guy being from Pakistan, just picked images with references to coupons. About 2/3 in the new video I see an interesting coupon. An image of 2 young kids and text above offering "20% Off Human Slaves" Needless to say we just had a little chat on Skype a couple hours ago...
Make sure you check on your people's work. Best to everyone.

    lol 20% off what price? Sounds like a good deal for a human slave you can get your outsourcing done for free then :p

    Good thing you caught that it wouldn't be good for business that's for sure. Funny story!
