Answering machines, Rap, and 911...
There's something that's been bothering me for a while now. I've decided that I just need to bitch a little and get it off my chest. In the course of the day I will call maybe 300 people. Of these 300 people, a good majority are not home and I get their answering machines.
So my bitch is this: Why don't people leave their name, at least their last name, on the message? That would let people know whether or not they had the right phone number, wouldn't it?
It doesn't help me if you leave your phone number as your message. IF I'M CALLING THIS NUMBER THAT MEANS THAT I ALREADY HAVE IT. Morons. If I missdialed a number it sure helps to hear something like "Garcia residence, leave a message" when I'm calling the Smiths. At least then I know that I messed up. I mean honestly, unless you already think that you missdialed, who's gonna listen to all ten digits in that off-chance that you messed up?!
That's another stupid thing. If someone calls you and asks for someone who doesn't live there, tell them that they have the wrong number. If you must, verify the name and THEN tell them that they have the wrong number. Verifying the number that they dialed IS A WASTE OF TIME. They DIALED YOUR NUMBER, THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SPEAKING WITH THEM. Idiots.
And why, oh why, do people put music as the message on their answering machine? How does it help to call someone and have to listen to 3 to 5 minutes of rap before I can leave a message? You're NOT THAT IMPORTANT! No one is going to wait that long unless they absolutely have to, and they are going to be pissed when they do.
"Dude, I woulda called you and left a message about your mom dyin' and all, but we were in a rush to get her to the hospital and couldn't take the time to wait for the your music to stop."
Boy, are you gonna feel like a wrung out turd...
Why is it that the vast majority of people who leave music as their message listen to rap and R&B? Is that kind of message a sign of a low intellect, lack of foresight, or maturity? Because that is what I can safely assume after listening to crap for 3+ minutes.
Listening to rap and R&B does not make you cool, or edgy, or extreme*, or "real". It makes you just as stupid, shallow, and unoriginal as all the idiots who record that crap in the first place.
You are not a unique or beautiful snowflake. You are a tool, a mouth breather, just like all of your friends.
Now, I have heard other types of music on asnwering machines, but it's extremely rare, less than 1%. I guess that makes people who listen to rap and R&B more susceptable to suggestion and peer pressure. Tools, in other words.
Wouldn't it be funny if the whole rap/R&B revolution was just a government experiment?
I can see it now, a dozen Crusty Old White Guys debating the intelligence of the average voter. After several hours of heated debate (and 14 bottles of well aged Scotch) they decide to run a little experiment.
So they gathered together some educated wannabe gang members, black because they speak english and can be understood by everyone and yet they are still considered a "minority race", and give them the freedom to write and create their "own" music as log as it incorporates the rap beat, i.e. the thud in all rap songs that beats in countepoint to the human heart, as much sex as possible, and rails against the "white man" and the (white man's) "establishment". Other lyrics involving violence, rape, and other kinds of assault are welcome.
These fledgling rap "artists" then started recording and promoting these songs. Of course, young immature kids were attracted to these obscenity laced, sexually driven pieces of audio garbage simply because it was naughty and forbidden. Parents hated it immediately, but this was seen at first as the natural reaction that all parents have to the next generation of music, and dismissed out of hand. Little did they know...
As rap gained in popularity the COWG decided top push the boundries to see how gullible people could be. They contacted their rap friends and asked them to set new heights in fashion follies to see how many people would follow their lead.
The rappers had to brainstorm for a while before coming up with some good ideas, after all, the 70s and 80's were hard to beat for bad fashion... But nontheless, the rappers won out by introducing pants at least four sizes too big (a remnant of their ghetto hand-me-down days), baseball caps on sideways or canted slightly to the side (but never straight forward or straight back without a dew rag under it), and outrageously guady jewelry.
Rappers wore full-sized clocks around their neck, linked rings that spelled out words, masses of gold chains, and worse. The rappers took their mission to heart, even up to the point of having their teeth capped in gold!
What's worse, IS THAT PEOPLE FOLLOWED THEIR EXAMPLE!! Yes, America is truly a nation of gullible idiots...
About five or six years after the experiment started, the COWG had their answer. People are stupid.
They decided to put a halt to the rap experiment and had all of the founding fathers of rap killed or arrested. Unfortunately, this feuled interest in rap instead of dissuading interest, and the avid interest of millions of idiots brought rap to new heights. New "artists" arose from the ghettos, some with a softer sound to the tradition hard pounding rap. They called this R&B.
The COWG decided that people in the U. S. are stupid and gullible enough to believe and do anything if enough people promoted it. They starting thinking about ways to gain even more power and money. Soon they had an answer; war. War always made the rich richer and the only people who would suffer would be the poor ignorant masses of gullible fools who would allow them to start a war that only benefitted the COWG in the first place.
Now how do they start a war? Maybe by allowing a terrorist attack on American soil to succeed...
Stupid people always over-react to things. Maybe the Americans are stupid enough to vote in a law that negates all of their rights as well as a war on a couple of small weak countries with no allies worth anything.
So in essence, that would mean that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and the mass of rap and R&B that super saturates the media, is all the result of an experiment of COWG on the gullible and stupid.
Man I hate those people!!!

I don't have my name on my answering machine so that people like you (the solicitor, not the friend) know that you have reached the right number. Once you know this, you keep calling. Or, this is at least the policy of the company my sister used to work for.
Most solicitors use computers to call people. As long as it is a working number they will continue calling until you tell them to bugger off (politely of course ;-)
And you answering machine does state your name last time I left you a message...
