F.T.C.'s "Do Not Call" List Pushed Up To July!

Woo hoo! The FTC is setting up a service for July that allows people to register that they do not want to be bothered by telemarketers. The telemarketing firms must check those lists before contacting people unsolicited for fear of a fine up to $11,000! I expect to be signing up July 1st.

I hate telemarketers. And those damn credit card companies. One time, a company called for my brother and I went in to this dramatic monologue:

"Are you serious? Who is this?", voice shaking.
"This is the credit card company, we need to speak to ****."
"He's.....dead. I can't believe... you're doing this?", this time, laying it on really thick. My girlfriend was giggling.
"Oh... I'm very sorry."
"I... (mumble) can't.... (sniffle)... I have to go!" and I hung up.
