i
want some help from you idiots. |
| PCI: |
Hmmm...
If you need help from those you consider idiots, then you must be an imbecile. |
| HERO: |
you
think that you are supplying the general public with something that you need. |
| PCI: |
Actually,
no! Our role is to enable folks to enjoy their fundamental right to
be left alone. (In the future, try writing in a sensible fashion, ex.: "...something that they need.") |
| HERO: |
have
you checked out the Bill of Rights lately? |
| PCI:
|
Not
since last week. Why, did the telenuisance industry steal the 9th Amendment? "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people" Nope! It's still there. I still have the right to be left alone at home. |
| HERO: |
you
are ripping off the consumer with a pipe dream of no telemarketing calls. |
| PCI: |
Our
members report a 75% drop in junk calls. Take a look at the
testimonials
and endorsements. |
| HERO: |
you
are full of ca-ca. |
| PCI: |
Your
insults are as insightful as your argument.
You evidently attended Telemarketing University. |
| HERO: |
i
work for a telemarketing firm that has been around longer than most of your
top executives. |
| PCI: |
What's
been around longer; your telemarketing firm or dysentery? |
| HERO: |
you
are so off-base that it is not funny. |
| PCI: |
Our
mission is not to make you laugh. It's to stop your junk calls or take your
money. |
| HERO: |
also
check out the FCC and FTC regulations concerning the federal Do-Not-Call
Procedures. |
| PCI: |
We
were involved in their creation, and are very familiar with their
inadequacies
. |
| HERO: |
i
am aware that you are selling something that you can not supply,,,, |
| PCI: |
We notify junk callers of our members' unwillingness
to be freely called, and advise junk callers that our members charge $500
per call. Our members have collected over $170,000 to date.
[Note: as of August 2001, that amount topped a million dollars.] Furthermore,
as mentioned above, our members report a 75% drop in junk calls. The fact
is, (pursuant to statistics published in telemarketing trade publications)
two-thirds of the folks you call don't let you complete your pitch, and you
sell less than 2% of those you call. If our record was as dismal
as yours, we'd close our doors. As a professional, you are the failure. |
| HERO: |
and
will make it my special little hobby to put you out of business. |
| PCI: |
Then, stop making junk calls, because every
time you tele-annoy someone, you promote Private Citizen. |
| HERO: |
Respectfully Submitted, (and
in my personal opinion) the HERO p.s.
Have a nice day!!!!!!!! |
| PCI: |
I
just did. Thanks for the laugh, Mr. Hero number seven hundred and fourteen! |
