No you are not going crazy, this month is going terribly for me in terms of blogging and finding new shit to complain about. I could go into politics but I don’t feel like being a hipster fuck who listens to Rage Against To Machine and writes anarchy all over my school work.

With that out of the way I can actually write about something now. Recently I started receiving telemarketing calls from “scammers.” While normally this wouldn’t be a bad thing because I don’t even use a home phone. I got the calls on my cell, and cell numbers are supposed to be kept private.

Today I watched the news and they said something about being able to buy the numbers on the Do Not Call List from the Canadian Radio Commission themselves. And it is true. For just 55 dollars I can get all the phone numbers in the GTA listed under the Do Not Call List. This is supposed to be so I know who not to call, but I of course will use to to make money and harass you.

The DNCL is flawed in every way possible. First of all, it’s a law that only effects calls made from Canada from legitimate companies. Meaning telemarketers can still call you from the US, Europe or India. While you can still track them down, international affairs take a while to process. If the guys were in Canada they’d probably be fined right now. But since they called me from the US, it will take a little longer.
