"Recruiting fake businessmen is one way to create the image—particularly, the image of connection—that Chinese companies crave. My Chinese-language tutor, at first aghast about how much we were getting paid, put it this way: “Having foreigners in nice suits gives the company face.”


Quote:
We stood in the front row wearing suits, safety vests, and hard hats. As we waited for the ceremony to begin, a foreman standing beside me barked at workers still visible on the construction site. They scurried behind the scaffolding.

“Are you the boss?” I asked him.

He looked at me quizzically. “You’re the boss.”

Quote:
For the next few days, we sat in the office swatting flies and reading magazines, purportedly high-level employees of a U.S. company that, I later discovered, didn’t really exist.

These kinda jobs will probably be even more common for black people in ten years.

I did once see a short footage of a company that rents black people for things like cooking, cleaning and, yes, striptease.

I am afraid that the prospects of jobs like this have to wait a little.

I do wonder what discrimination legislation this form of employment does violate.

Wait... What? I... Are... Are you sure that company wasn't rentng out prostitutes who came DRESSED as cooks and/or cleaners? Pool boy is a kinda popular porn stereotype, too... I mean, I can understand the idea of chinese people hiring someone exotic to make things look like they have more class and a well-oiled company stretching continents, but that just blew my mind.

At least all the employees featured were male (and not all were strippers either), I think male prostitution would be of a more reclusive nature than allowing themselves to be aired on television (even though with obvious marketing benefits).

I can't recall what program is was, though, it was a local television channel if I remembered it well.

You're in The Netherlands, right? I thought that with the legalisation of prostitution, the 'reclusive nature' would vanish.

Sure as hell did here, one of the more famous prostitutes of the country actually had it announced in national newspapers that she was moving. With address, phone number, pictures, and controversy from 80 year olds who opposed the idea.

That's right, national newspapers. All of em, on the top left corner of the front page, plus page two. I wonder if she paid, or gave out coupons.

Well, prostitutes often are not the richest or the most vocal people (quite many come from abroad, too). Though it is legal, they aren't esteemed highly and quite many people are judgmental about them... there is still a big stigma against them.

Also, not many people would like to be on television as a prostitute... unless they are a celebrity because of it (but I haven't heard of that yet, but I may be reading the wrong newspapers or magazines for that).

I found their website, by the way. http://www.blackpack.nl/?w=profielen

Ahum.

The "Kitchen-fantasy" didn't tip you off? Nor the fact that one of the profiles lists the guy's sexuality? Or that they call his apparent 'cooking' a 'performance'? It's what they call an escort service in America, mate.

I think they are usually reported not to be exclusively a male escort service.

See? Even though there is definately a male escort service branch to it.

Have a video, too!

There are stereotypes about black people and shopping?

Besides, one of the stereotypes is that they're horse sized, though I suppose that's covered in the striptease... I wonder how they handle travelling..

Apparantly. :/ I don't know much about it, I'm a rural villager, don't ask me. :P

If you want to rent one that badly you could always go to the Netherlands for a few days if they don't cover Belgium. (Heh heh, cover.)

*shot*

Right, I could be like that priest and have someone to "carry my luggage", wink wink.

...

We've dragged this so far off topic that it's not even within the same dimension anymore, huh?

You'd better watch out the security agency will not raid your house then though, apparantly for laughs and giggles.

Uh, we have moved from bogus corporal executives to male strippers and pederast clergy... but we are still more or less on the topic of renting people for racial motives. :huh:
