I got a real kick out of a telemarketing call the other day when
Sprint called trying to sell Dish on the same bill as my phonebill.
When I told her I didn't need Dish as a satellite provider, she asked
who I had.
I said "voom."
She said "zoom?"
"No, Voom."
"Oh, well can I tell you all about Dish..."
I said "can dish offer me 40 HD channels" and she said "no, 4."
She had no idea what Voom was or what they offered. I didn't tell her
that E* had just bought V*'s main bird and that the future of V* was
uncertain -- I thought that would just confuse her more.
I feel sorry for the people asked to call and try to sell me a product
that are given no information on the competitors...
