anyone else hear about this? real? fake? either way it's about the most jacked thing I've heard in a long time...

anti-gay phone company

this may be too much like politics but I don't think it's right that a company is exploiting the hate and beliefs of a conservitive group for money, and also promoting their beliefs...

a comedian has them on tape too, he basically eggs the telemarketers on and gets them to say some outrageous crap!... which makes it sound sketchy, but damn the tapes are funny...

I work for a telecom company(not one they mention, though), and that's how we heard about it... I'm just curious if anyone else heard about this?!

I saw it lastnight on 'World News Tonight'. It wasn't just against the Gays but all the liberals as well. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

here's more background:
ANTI GAY PHONE COMPANY
Starting in late December I began to get phone calls from what I thought was a phone company (United American Technologies) trying to get me to switch from my phone company to a Christian one that didn’t support gay marriage and pornography. It was so weird and creepy that I decided to record them. There are three calls. It turns out that they are from a non-profit that works with United American Technologies and calls people on their behalf. UAT then donates money to them. I think this non-profit stopped making these calls, but UAT still has many other organizations making the calls for them I believe. Though they claimed to donate 10% of their profits to ministries I think the money actually went into an Oklahoma Republican political campaign, but some of it may go to Churches and ministries, I’m not sure. The whole thing is confusing and spooky.

so I looked up UAT...

Without reserve, anyone who uses business to drive politics, is a "MFN as_spole".

uhoh...

I'm pretty sure that my phone company is gay. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)



I had to call them to find out. Apparently they are Bi. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

Well qwest ain't gay.

They are to stupid to find their ass with both hands, a flash light, a map, and a approach beacon.

If you cant even find your ass you can't be gay can you?

I got a good laugh out of this though.

it's hard not to laugh at the calls... like classic jerky boys or something...

the real question is if they can find someone else's ass... I think...

Not in a "Total home makeover" kind of way, but definitely in a "New fish in prison" kind of way.



Me: "So you're saying you won't reactiviate my DSL until I pay for the months while lines were down and it never worked, and I was promised I would not pay for?".

Qwest Rep:"We'll credit you back after the account has been brought current... [giggle] You gots a pretty mouth."

Me: "What was that?"

Qwest Rep:"Squeal boy!"

SBC probably (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I can't talk bad about them... eventhough they are a bunch of blood-sucking old codgers... they pay my bills...

I'm surprised SBC isn't mentioned in this company's war on gays and porn... we own DiSH which broadcasts pr0n... Yahoo, which has links to porn... I guess THAT's stretching it for these guys... you gotta draw the line somewhere... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
