I can't imagine telemarketing actually working. I've never met someone that's said, "Yeah I got a phone call for a new long distance plan and it worked out great!" Normally anytime, anyone talks about getting a phone call it's more along the lines of "I was right in the middle of something important, and had to stop to pick up the phone." Sometimes there are a few expletives thrown in for good measure.
It just seems that they have a nak for calling at the worst possible times. For me it's usually at like 11 or noon. I'm usually sleeping and then I get a call for something I have absolutely no need for, and then because I had gotten just enough sleep, I have the worst time trying to fall back to sleep, it's horrible. The only thing that gets me more annoyed when I get woken up by them, is if it's automated in spanish. Oh man that gets my goat.
I think we get bombarded with enough advertisements on tv, the radio, in the mail, and on billboards, that we shouldn't have to be subjected to it over the phone. I mean come on really, the point that I know its a telemarketer is the point where my brain has shut off and I'm just waiting for a pause so I can either; just say no, hang up, or chew them out (depending on my mood, and how tired I really am).
Let's call them at their busiest, and waste their time and see how they like it!

Automated calls to cell phones are illegal. All automated calls will be illegal on Tuesday.
And you said no one ever reads your blog...
