    I like the idea of charging spammers and telemarketers (Wired). The only reason such advertising is usefult to companies is because they can do it so cheaply. How many emails can one produce and send for the cost of 1 prime-time commercial? How many cold-calls can a telemarketing firm make for the same cost? The 1…

    As a consumer, I get the feeling that companies don’t care for me. If I were a vindictive person, then I probably would be going out of my way to screw them out of even a tiny bit of their profits. Piss enough of us off, and they would feel the pain in their wallets.…
