Taking the mickey out of telemarketers

[Liane]

Johnny Cash, Charles Bronson, John Ritter Gregory Peck, Katherine Hepburn (my idol) AND ... please don't forget Bob Hope! Not a good summer for Hollywood! :(

The good news is that David Letterman is going to be a dad! :)

Dave Barry also made me crack a grin today. He managed to take the mickey out of telemarketers. Maybe we should sick him on spammers!

See how he did it here! [cbsnews.com] Its classic! :)

"because of "overwhelming positive response to recent
media events, we are unable to take your call at
this time."

ROTFLOL.
Whatever the tele-monkies pay their spin doc, it ain't near enough. Hmmm, maybe I need to rework the ol' voice mail myself

"We're sorry, due to overwhelming positive disinterest
in many recent phone events, we're unable to predict
an end period for the screening of all calls."

Nice one Liane - I should track down the phone number and put up a page on some of my websites. :)

Well ... I was thinking that we should follow Dave's lead. make it a community project and build our poor spammer friends their own, free, international directory listing including any home and business addresses, web site addresses, e:mail and phone numbers we can find! Give these often misunderstood, much berated and underpaid folks a leg up so to speak! A little promotion to help our fellow netizens! :)

Whadoyathink everyone ... anyone game? We could perhaps host a lovely, well designed site and hold a site naming contest.

My first suggestion for the url is:

www.spam-spam-spam-spam-spam-spam.com :)
