Beck's Sponser's' 800 Numbers Is it Futile to Try?


Just call them up and tell them you will never buy their fine product because they sponsor this hate monger.


Now, there's no need for any one to get pissy with any of these phone operators.

Remember sweeties,
when you lose your temper, you lose the argument. However, the longer the operator is on the phone, the more you do disrupt their bottom line$$$.

Nutri System is the biggest company here and IMO they have a big brand name on the line.
I forget what "Mr Steamy" is exactly, I guess it's a steam cleaner deal.

Now theres nothing like a heartfelt honest opinion from consumer America, it's true.


Now only if the operator is snotty:

Call back and you can work on your theater skills; accents, strange implausible stories,
and weeping, copious Beck-style weeping may be in order. Still, refrain from yelling and acidic vitriol. These calls will still matter in their way, because the classic "crank call" is something the far right wing understands all too well.

Rupert Murdock will no doubt keep finding replacements, so this may seem futile. But it's part of our 1st amendment rights to call and the 800 numbers are free for the caller.

Win Win No Loss

The list is in the order that they were broadcast last night.


Mr. Steamy.......................................................1 800 229 3117

Sokolove Law Firm................................................1 800 964 6002

Nutri System.....................................................1 877 708 1001

(The Bionic Man) Lee Majors' "Bionic" Hearing Aid................1 800 706 0986

"MEDICARE APPROVED!" Scooter Chair...............................1 800 697 7407

"Feel Free" Bladder Wear.........................................1 800 331 4763

"Jupiter Jack" phone tech co. from Fairfield NJ..................1 800 709 8167

1. I'd call but there's nothing on the list I use!
But I agree with the calling. Period. It DOES work.

6. Mr. Steamy has My Number
The "Mr Steamy" recorded lady asked if they had my correct address and then, said my address to me!

I said "NOOOOOOOOOO!" and pushed crazy buttons. I finally left a message on the place I was supposed to be leaving my Credit Card Data and hung up.

That whole caller ID tech is sort of skeezy to me. I hope Mr Steamy DITTO Heads don't come after me.

If they do, I'll hit 'em with a shoe.

4. I called the law firm and a woman answered.
I just calmly explained it wasn't a business call but that I wanted to comment on their choice of FOX and Beck to advertise their firm. I then wish them a nice day and commiserated on the type of clientele they must get.

5. For all 7 numbers almost every human being I finally got in touch with was nice.
One lady was super sweet and she said she totally agreed with me. She said she was the only one at her office that voted for Obama.
