Funny, guys.
While poorly put, I meant for comedic value. There was this guy in the States--Tom Mabe--I think he's a radio jock, & he had a short-running TV show where he did off-the-wall shock comedy. One of his bits was taping incoming telemarketer calls where he constructed scenarios that were uncomfortable for the telemarketer, & as the calls went on, he would evolve the scenarios to be more & more bizarre to see how slow-witted the telemarketers were.
There was a "movie file" (it was in .mov format so you could read the transcript of the call while listening to the audio) making the rounds on the Internet a couple years back where he pretended to be a police officer, that the person (he) the telemarketer was calling was permanently unavailable, & the telemarketer was a suspect in the investigation.
It used to be posted on
Greensboring.com, & was labeled as "The Greatest Telemarketing Call Ever".
I called two of those companies as a joke after getting completely fed up with their idiotic commercials--it p___ed me off that those commercials were (& still are) on all the d___ time, they're vulgar, & they're nothing but vague innuendo. I thought I'd p___ them off by seeing how far they would go at avoiding making any real claims about a product that does nothing--I'd respond to vague claims with questions like "What exactly does that mean?" The responses turned out to be hilarious. If I had known there was money to be made at that kind of comedy, I could have cashed in had I taped the idiotic responses given by the folks trying to answer my "questions" while trying to keep me on the line so they could make a sale.
