Offshoring is a practice where companies pay foreign workers 1/3 the pay for work (such as software development). What compaines fail to understand is that it takes the offshore workers 4 times as long to perform their work, and the resulting product is sub-par at best.
Local programmer makes $60.00 / hour.
The company decides to use offshoring to send the work to India for $20.00 / hour.
Instead of taking 8 hours to write a program locally (for a total of $480.00) they offshore the work and it takes 32 hours (for a total of $640.00) and the resulting program has text like:
"For more instruction be to clicking the yes button."
Pay more, get worse products, and take longer to get it done.

Man 1: I don't get what the big deal about offshore drilling is.
Man 2: What do you mean?! Haven't you seen the effects of the oil spill?
Man 1: I think we are talking about two different things. I'm talking about going to Brazil and getting me some women. The effects of that oil spill could be much worse than the BP oil spill
