The Bad Karma Dudes<\/p><\/div>\n

Let just start by saying that this is flipping hilarious. I wasn’t sure at first but after a few episodes it had me in stitches of laughter.<\/p>\n

Bad Karma<\/strong> is a series of circa 10 minute videos created by Monkeetime and hosted on YouTube and declares itself as the anti-guide to backpacking in India, or more importantly what not to do.<\/p>\n

Our two intrepid explorers wing their way around India, following local customs, integrating with the locals and attempting to implement the rules travellers should follow, which of course they just get really, really wrong. But on purpose.<\/p>\n

A good example of something they intentionally get wrong is that people should integrate by dressing the same as the locals. So off they go and purchase outfits that would be better placed in a Rajasthan palace many, many years ago. Then they wonder why people are staring.<\/p>\n

The trailer video makes the following claims about the film so decide for yourself whether you think it’s worth watching:<\/p>\n

The lowest budget film…
\n…for the lowest budget traveller
\ntwo idiots…
\n…one chicken…
\n…and heaps of bad advice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s the trailer:<\/p>\n
