CSR: Crime Scene Representative

Was watching an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, wearing a LifeChat LX-3000 headset. Got me thinking about a CSI spoof using Customer Service Representatives as characters.
Sure. Like a skit in a humor show. But it could even be part of a campaign to make customer service jobs trendy, like they do in Quebec with CAs/CPAs (complete with flashy site in French). Not that I ever was a CSR myself but I did do surveys about CSRs. Given the number of people with CSR jobs, I'm pretty sure it'd be quite popular for watercooler chat. Perfect material for YouTube.
Of course, other people have been thinking about CSI spoofs with CSRs. For instance, here's a funny scenario for a skit having fun with David Caruso's rather overacted Horatio Caine one-liners (which Jim Carrey spoofed on David Letterman's show).
Grazing Rites: CSR: Miami
To play with people's stereotypes (which humor shows are wont to do), it could easily involve South Asian CSRs. An obvious choice would then be Canadian comedian Shaun Majumder, well-known for his ethnic spoofs on This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Cedric the Entertainer Presents.
