Newsday.com - Telemarketing Execs On Do-Not-Call List

Talk about hypocritical! I cannot believe that these executives had the nerve and audacity to put themselves on the very list they are fighting to get shot down.

If you are a telemarketer or a telemarketer executive, you should be

banned from being on the list. If you can't listen to your own companies' prattle about a credit card or dream vacation, then you need to either find a new profession or turn off your phone. You know, the very things you tell those of us who don't want sales calls in the middle of dinner to do.

That is what my logical, diplomatic side thinks. Now for my personal opinion. Oh come on, you KNEW I'd have one!

I think that every other person on the Do Not Call list should be given the phone numbers of the executives and that they should call them at 6pm every day. Call and ask them how they are doing...if they had a good day at work...tell them all about Johnny making a poo poo in the pottie..anything innoculous, but NOT a sales pitch. After a few days of this, the executives will be begging to be taken off the list and welcome the calls that we don't want to listen to.
