Along the same vein, I frequently get telemarketing calls here at work that answer with a machine (huge pet peeve--if you're going to bother me, at least put some effort into having a human do it) that starts, "Warning! We have important information conserning your car warra--" (Click by that point).
My car is 8 years old and has 100k miles on it, the warranty expired four or five years ago. I hope the thing lasts another 8 years (it runs great at the moment), but I don't need a warranty for an acheint car. And you're not a service announcement.
We also get "This is a public health service announcement from the (some bogus gov't sounding agency)." If you stay on the line, which I dont, it's just a telemarket campaign for health insurance. Making it particularly funny that they call me at work...at my insurance office...where we sell health (and other) insurance.
