Waking Up The Telemarketers
from the prank-calls dept
Comedian Tom Mabe has picked excellent timing to release his latest album, A Wake Up Call for Telemarketers, since there’s so much focus these days on telemarketing. The album is based on phone calls made when he stayed at the same hotel as a bunch of telemarketers during a telemarketing conference, and then called them in the middle of the night to talk to them about the Telemarketers With Insomnia Foundation. Of course, now that the national Do Not Call List has come out, there may not be as much interest in his brand of humor (he also put out two other comic CDs where he gets “revenge” on telemarketers who call him). However, he’s not afraid. He says he’s now going to take on spammers.

What about foreign telemarketers?
What if VoIP technology makes it easy for starving children in Africa to call people up asking for money? There will no doubt be the outpouring of sympathy at first, but then people will become annoyed by their persistence.
