I got a marketing research call last night. Sometimes I’ll answer these questions because a long time ago I used to work for a place that made calls and conducted interviews in the local mall. I know it can be a rough job.
A friendly woman on the line tells me upfront they aren’t selling anything but just want my opinions. She then gives me the qualifying questions:
1. Have I listened to “Christian Radio” within the last month. No.
2. Do people consider me or call me a leader? Um…No.
3. Do I do volunteer community service work at least once a month? Ahh…No… (and now I’m beginning to feel like I’m some uncaring slob with low self esteem…)
4. Do I consider myself a “Committed Christian”? Uh…No. (…Lets see now – hates Christian radio – check, not a leader – check, uncaring slacker – check, secular heathen who will rot in hell – check… )
She told me that those were all the questions she would ask and then said goodbye.
Guess who just had his homeland security threat rating upgraded.
Heh – I know – I wonder who was conducting the “survey”…
It was the Magic Christians…
You got me thinking – I checked out http://www.permanentrecord.com – it claims to be launching soon . . . maybe we’ll have a chance to see . . .
So I guess you missed out on the Holy Spirit Car Air Freshener.
Your loss, dude.
“And here are the results of our survey for you Mr Christian Radio station boss. After we had filtered out all the unwashed rabble we found the following:
100% of respondants love Christian Radio
100% of respondents want your job
100% of respondants would volunteer when we take military action against the forigners.
and 100% of respondants are already commited.”
I thnk you just missed the draft for the next crusade.
