Respect Authority

"0bama hat35 @merica."

Indiana, a state of gun toting ignorant technophiles, has a law barring the use of robocalls. So in order to defend the formerly reliable Republican state, McCain and the RNC were forced to employ a telemarking service called Americall to do their dirty work.

Well, turns out that humans still have more decency than robots and Rudy Guiliani combined. Between thirty and forty telemarketers walked off their job yesterday in protest of the anti-Obama script they were given to read. They weren’t fired but they also weren’t paid the rest of the day, which for someone who’s doing telemarketing work must’ve been a huge financial sacrifice.

I’ve got to say, this moved me [Full Disclosure: I once beat off to this picture]. Telemarketers, the definitive scum of the earth, actually stood up for themselves, for truth, for fairness and decency and said, “Mama, enough is enough”. Traits never before observed in this caste of cold-blooded virtual salespeople.
