Had to register for a Wired account just to comment on this snarky article. What I said (hey I do outsourced content projects): I’m a twenty-something Southeast Asian, and you know what? Even before the advent of YouTube, American media have fed our TVs daily with Sesame Street, MTV, and the Tonight Show. Our cinemas show mostly Hollywood films: my first movie as a kid was Robocop. And let’s not even start with shelves upon shelves of American paperbacks dominating our bookstores. And now you wonder how your brand of “creative writing” can be outsourced.
