Telemarketers

We get a lot of random telemarketing calls here at the office. I don't know why but I have my theories. In fact, I just got off the phone with a spanish speaking telemarketer. This was a first for me. I can sort of understand the idea behind cold calling random people in an attempt to sell them whatever it is they are trying to sell. It doesn't take any research, you just have an auto-dialer and when someone answers you start your shpeel. I'd imagine that randomly calling people and starting in spanish might sort of be shooting yourself in the foot. Perhaps in some areas of the country it would work.. but in the middle of Illinois? If anything they should have been speaking Polish. Yeah, large numbers of Polish people in my area.

Anyways, I just thought I'd share with you my experience of just getting off the phone with a random spanish telemarketer.

Save me zombie... Spiderman?!?

So there is a graphic novel, published by Marvel, where the biggest superheros are actually... zombies! They still retain their mental capacity.. they know that feasting on the quivering brains of the living is wrong. But they can't stop. Oh, and they still have super powers.. so they can't really be killed either.

I can't decide if I'd like this or not.
