Direct Marketing Execs Sign Up for Do-Not-Call List

fognugen writes "Here's a funny twist to the ongoing battle in the US over the government sponsored "Do Not Call" list. It turns out that many of the top executives at the companies which are fighting to stop this list have actually signed up for it themselves. The list, which is supposed to go into effect today, is aimed at curbing unsolicited telemarketing."

Exactly.

Some of the PR folks would have greater credibility if they and all of the upper management were committed [1] to their words.

A couple of examples come to mind that have been a local problem:

• cell phone company execs living in houses with views compromised by tall towers
• Walmart execs living close to one of their stores
• upper level government execs undergoing constant drug testing, polygraphs, filling out forms to accomplish anything, etc.
• HMO execs getting their health care through their own "service", getting put on hold, getting claims denied after an eon, etc.

[1] In the "Bacon and egg breakfast" sense. The chicken was involved while the pig was committed.
