Saw a great piece on MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" 
tonight.

A guy from Tennessee, who's fed up with phone solicitors finds a 
convention of them being held in Washington DC.  He goes there, and 
checks into a room in the hotel where most of them are staying, and 
gathers some of their room numbers.

Commencing at about 3am, he starts calling their rooms waking their 
asses up with some silly sales pitch.  They get really pissed.  Some 
funny stuff..!

Better yet, he recorded it and is selling a CD.  Damn - I can't 
remember the title,
