Do Not Call Irony

9 03 2009

A report published by the CBC claims that people who signed up for the Do Not Call Registry are receiving about 80% less calls; I ask, how could they know that?

Harris-Decima polled 2,035 Canadian adults by phone between Jan. 29 and Feb. 15.

So, they poll a bunch of people by phone who signed up specifically not to be bothered by phone. Classy.

I did sign up for this registry and almost immediately noticed a lot of American numbers calling with automated information – that’s annoying. Seems that I’m not the only one though.
