direct marketers are those annoying folks that call you at home when your trying to eat or relax. calling it legitimate doesn't make it ok.
Calling it legit just makes it more annoying because it's harder to press charges or sue
We (MO) were one of the first states to put up a no call list... We have much fewer telemarkerters(I like to call them teletubbies) than we used to. So now there is nothing for me to do with the phone without prank calling someone, and I can get in trouble for that... Messing with telemarketers is so fun...
