Stop Telemarketing

10 Things to Say When Telemarketers Call.

May 24, 2003... 7:33 p.m.... Tele-f@cking-marketers!

You just sit down to dinner... the babies just fell asleep... American Idol or Friends just started... you're at the climactic chase scene in your favorite heist movie... or you are trying to get the clasp of a bra undone with your teeth... that's when it happens!  That's when a telemarketer calls to sell you something.  They say, "This isn't a sales call, it's a courtesy call."  Nothing is less courteous in the world than a courtesy call.

If you need long distance services, satellite dishes, life insurance, auto insurance, fire insurance or even insurance insurance, look no further because they will track you down.  Credit card offers, vacation deals, time-shares and free radon testing is all available by simply picking up the phone.

I'm sick of it and have decided to do something about it.  I thought about writing to my congressman, or complaining to the Better Business Bureau, but both of them have jobs because businesses support them.  It's time for drastic measures.

Here's the plan... it's basic business sense.  If supply shrinks then prices rise.  Telemarketing firms supply people.  The only way to shrink the people supply is encourage as many as possible to quit meaningless jobs, or commit suicide.  Either is fine.  

I've developed a short list of 10 techniques you can do at home to expedite this process.  Writing about them doesn't really do them justice, therefore I've created a completely separate SunFyre page called 10 Things to Say When Telemarketers Call complete with audio instruction.

If we all started today, we'd shut down the telemarketing industry by next week!  Good luck troops, you're in my army now!
