Aww, Poor Babies

    According to this story on Yahoo!, the telemarketing industry is trying to sue the FTC over their Do Not Call list.
    Says an industry representative, the FTC “ignored its obligations under the federal law and the Constitution to carefully balance the privacy interests of consumers with the First Amendment rights of legitimate telemarketers.” The article goes on to say the list could cost telemarketers $50 billion in lost sales and two million lost jobs.
    Firstly, there are already twenty-eight million numbers on the list, soon to double, so I doubt too many people would be grieving your loss. Instead of fighting to maintain a business practice nobody but lonely old people likes, why not try finding a career where you’re not despised? Secondly, all telemarketers are illegitimates. Thirdly, $50 billion??!! With that many suckers around, no wonder those telemarketing cockroaches won’t die.
