I know I don't use this space... well... ever... but I just had to post this, in response to the recent developments in the Do Not Call list case.
A writer for the San Francisco Chronicle has proposed "Three Little Words," based on his brief experience in a telemarketing operation. The words are "Hold on, please." Saying this while putting down your phone and walking away instead of hanging up would make each telemarketing call so time-consuming that those boiler rooms would grind to a halt.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I got this from AdBusters magazine.
