I just read this article on The Village Voice and listened to the taped phone conversation. I smell a couple of lawsuits brewing.

*shakes head* - Some people. ;)

Phone call mp3

Wow... I'd like to say that this is unbelievable, but unfortunately its all too believable.

As much as I absolutely loathe the VV for having a section called "Pazz and Jop," this article is funny. Can't wait to hear the mp3.

Eugene Merman is the comedian that took the call. He is an interesting guy.

Are these the "real Christians" or the "fake Christians"?

It's so hard to keep up these days. I am confused.

WWJD?

OK, so let me get this straight. These people are offering folks an alternative to paying companies where our money will go to projects with which we don't agree and you're having a fit about it?

I'd be happy to be able to choose companies who do not give money to projects/organization/individuals with which I don't agree. (so long as they are offering the same service at close to the same rate-I'm not giving up my beloved Vonage to go with UAT)

Neehai: If you knew that Verizon donated to gay and lesbian causes and Sprint did not, wouldn't that have some bearing on your decision making?

I mean how many of you out there watch anything other than Fox News because you're more comfortable with their left leaning views?

Granted, the phone call was funny-but the woman was clearly out of her element there and he was twisting her words.

My biggest concern here is that there was absolutely no proof of any of their accusations on the site. You can't make those kinds of claims without some serious proof. Otherwise you'd get commercials from the likes of AT&T saying "SPRINT SUPPORTS KIDDIE PORN! SWITCH TO AT&T!"
