Bite me, Rachel.

I just received another call from 'Rachel'.  The computerized voice from our friendly credit card company.  I'd just like to know who was the genius who thought this kind of marketing might actually work?  I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting.
"Just imagine J.P.  We set up a computer to call thousands of people every day.  We interrupt their day and force them to listen to a lifeless, monotone, computerized voice delivering nonsensical drivel.  I tell you the orders will be flying off the shelves!"
Who are the dopes who greenlight this stuff?  More to the point, are any of us staying on the line for more than the nanosecond it takes to tell computerized Rachel to 'Bite me' and hang up?  Is anyone that lonely that they actually listen to the whole schpeel?  Tell you what...if you're in that dire need of a phone call or human contact...email me.  I'll call you and I won't bug you to buy a credit card.  We can just chat...human to human.
