Wave after wave of telemarketers assault your household like it was a Normandy beachhead. Bleary-eyed, you tell your coke-bottle glassed, coupon-clipping, twine-saving friend over a cup of coffee at Denny’s.

And if any unscrupulous ones do, you have the basis for making an official complaint to the FCC.”
