Dave Barry Strikes Back Against Telemarketers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the with-your-morning-cup-of-coffee dept.

ikkonoishi writes "The Miami humor columnist Dave Barry in his column here encouraged his readers to exercise their constitutional rights to call a telemarketing firm which had declared the National Do Not Call List unconstitutional. Well it seems to have worked." Needless to say, the targets of the prank were none so keen on being called themselves.

    Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

    I thought the bible said "an eye for an eye"?

    It's not o.k. to do the same wrong onto people which those people have done onto you.
    Just because they annoy you, you can't harass them.
    If it's illegal then leave the revenge to the goverment.
    I mean otherwise it would be like shooting people who break into your home etc.
