Seattle Times Telemarketer Gets Punked

Oh man. Out of all the people that a Seattle Times telemarketer could call and try to sell to, they'd call Chris Pirillo during his call-in show. This is priceless -- this lady is so confused by the end of this.

Best quote: "This is better than Google. It's the complete newspaper."

Biggest tip for salespeople: Know Thy Product.

Thanks to Barn and Lost Remote for the video.

Oh, good Lord, that's painful to watch. I was feeling sorry for the poor stupid telemarketer.

I tried telemarketing once. Just once. Horrid experience. I should hope it only happens to people I dislike.

I was going to mention that, monkey, but I just assumed that was fairly obvious.
