"How has the telemarketing industry responded to this wave of public hostility? It has issued this statement: "Gosh, if these people really don't want us to call them, then there's no point in our calling them! We'd only be making them hate us more, and that's just plain stupid! We'll try to come up with a less offensive way to do business."
No, wait, that's what telemarketers would say in Bizarro World, where everything is backward and Superman is bad and telemarketers contain human DNA. Here on Earth, telemarketers are claiming they have a right to call people who don't want to be called. They base this claim on Article VX, Section iii, row 5, seat 2, of the Constitution, which says: "If anybody ever invents the telephone, Congress shall pass no law prohibiting salespeople from using it to interrupt dinner."
God, he's a funny man. I read him every week and own a book!
