I recieved a strange phone call tonite. Just wondering if anyone else has been contacted. I thought at first it was going to be another poll. The girl had a very irritating voice. She asked a few questions about my viewing habits; How many hours a week I watched TV. (My tv and my computer are in the same room, and the TV is on FoxNews from the time I hit the door til I go to bed, whereupon I turn on FoxNews on the bedroom set) Did I watch sitcoms? (never); Did I watch dramas? (depends) Then came a strange question; would I be willing to watch a video for purposes of responding to a survey? The catch is this...they would Priority Mail the video to me, but I couldn't watch it until 17 November. They want to call me while I am watching this video. Anyone heard anything like this before?
They made a film called The Ring about the incident.
Sounds like a prank call to me. Ewwwww
LOL You're terrible
What was your answer??
weird. did they tell you a company name?
Being the curious, adventurous type I said sure send me the tape.
I'm still considering whether to watch it before the 17th.
What would ya'll do?
No, and I didn't ask. I figure I'll find out when I get the tape
I used that line on chicks when I was in college, but I eventually decided it never worked.
Me?? I probably would've already hung up before they could ask me anything at all...
Alright...I'm paranoid and cynical enough for three people already. Don't encourage me.
I got an irritating phone call today from the RNC, but I gave $25 bucks anyway.
This sounds interesting - would you please ping me when you get the tape?
Sounds like a legit survey.
They are known to do this to get your 'gut' reaction to something. I've heard of such studies before.
but who knows... there could be an embedded democratic mind control chip waiting to possess you on the 17th!
Hahahaha!!!!!
Bold boy! :-)
Tell them to go to hell and find their survey in the ashes somewhere.
Why do you even give this legitimacy?
LOL....The Manchurian Candidate. Maybe they want him to shoot the President...
I'll let you know.
Thanks everyone, for the feedback. (Yes all of it)
LOL!
hehe... doo-doo-doo-doo... doo-doo-doo-doo...
OH... when you get the tape, respect the instructions... don't watch it until the 17th. if you cheat, it will ruin your consideration in the survey. That's the first question they'll ask you, and they'll disqualify your data if you do cheat.
Do you know anything (a name) about who is conducting the survey?... that's what i'd be doing research on right now.
