	I can see the headlines tomorrow. Originally posted by msnbc.com In other news, a local politician was brutally attacked and received multiple severe injuries. It was said to have originated by a disgruntled recipient of constant phone calls as part of the political figure's campaign strategy. It appears to have backfired. ____________________

I have never gotten one of those calls. One of those things that rarely happen on this island.

I do get calls for someone on my work phone, just a recording that says "This is an important message for..." and I hang up there. Don't even wait to hear a name. ____________________

IIRC, Nintendo did the same thing to some people for Super Mario Galaxy. There's a video of the recording on YouTube.

I once got the old phone number of Blue Care Network, some medical thing. It got annoying having to tell so many people that no, I'm not Blue Care Network.

	I think some of those people want donations to their organizations -- at least that's some of the calls my grandmother gets. The only calls that I get are DirecTV wanting me to add programming -- I always say no. ____________________

No, this is why I should join the NRA so I can gun down these mother-chuckers that are calling me at 8 in the morning!

And as for you FP....you are correct...

Any politicians that 'call' can instantly go fuck themselves in my book.

If they really want my vote, call me in person.

I get the occasional call from Bell offering me a free phone (yeah right) and the occasional ring at the door buzzer from someone who wants to convert me to some religion. I generally just dismiss them quickly.

I do wish some phonespammer who actually speaks English and isn't a robot would call some time when I'm not busy so I could screw with their head. It's always either foreign people I can't understand or machines. Beh.

Telus also likes to send me junk mail in official-looking envelopes. Their clever plan kinda backfires due to the fact that A) I'm not a customer of theirs and B) the official-looking envelope is unaddressed (or addressed to "Resident" or "Occupant"). Fail.

What's really annoying though is the spam I get with my bills, in the same envelope. "There is a better use for paper" - I agree, this is a waste, stop sending it.

Wanting me to switch to purely online statements, yeah, no paper trail, missing statements "oh it must have got lost in the tubes", great idea.
