Government Scam?

The Do Not Call List attracted the numbers of thousands if not millions of Canadians. We forked over all the phone numbers we could think of in the hopes of cutting down the massive numbers of scam *cough* fraud *cough* telemarketing calls we get each day. These types of calls should not be allowed period, but of course, we will take anything our government gives us. Thus was born the DNCL.

The DNCL was supposed to stop the calls from everything except Canadian registered charities, political parties and candidates, newspapers, businesses that you have done business with in the past 18 months, or a company whos product you have touched, tasted or even thought about in the last 6 months. PIZZA!!! Well now Pizza Hut, Pizza 73, Boston Pizza, etc can now phone you since I made you think about one of their products.

The worst part about this DNCL is that it is being sold to telemarketers. No, not sold for a few dollars so they can know who not to call. It is being sold for $11,280 for the entire list, or $615 for a specific area. The catch for telemarketers? Well this is how the call must go down:

"Hello... (pause) HELLO!?!"
In a foreign language "Hello Mr. A...pl Appl... Apel..."
"Mr. Apple you fuck face."
"Hello, I am phoning you this evening at 6pm probably while you are eating to... (sniff sniff) Is that Spaghetti? Anyways, I am phoning you to see if you have time to take a survey on our newest product."
"No, my damn food is getting cold. I thought I registered my number on the Do Not Call List... Please remove my numbe..."
"GOOD!! OK THEN! Would you be interested in buying this very handy 'thingamabob'."
"No, not at all. Now PLEASE remove me from your cal..."
"ALRIGHT THEN, to do that, I need your phone number..."
"You called me, shouldn't you know it?"
"Your name?"
"No, just remove my number."
"Your credit card number?"
"WHAT?!"
"Your bank pin?"
"Fuck this."
*Hangs up*
"Your S.I.N?"
"...and finally your permission to ruin your life... of wait, it says that part is optional."
"Sir? Hello?"
*Click*

OK, so just remember, DO NOT ADD YOUR NUMBER. I hope somebody starts a class action lawsuit.
