Buffy vs. the evil forces of telemarketing

|

The place: my living room.
The time: about 8:25 pm on May 20.
The phone rings.

"May I speak to Ms. Falk?"
"Is this a sales call?"
"Yes it is."
"Can you please put me on your do-not-call list?"
"Certainly, ma'am. I just need to inform you that it can take three to six weeks for your record to be changed, and during that time you may receive more calls, and ..."
"I understand. Buffy's on."
(A pause, then a chuckle.) "Have a good evening."
"You too."

Oh, and the show? Just OK, albeit with a few good one-liners. "Are you going to go all Dawson on me every time I have a new boyfriend?" and "I'm cookie dough. I'm not done baking." Salon.com has a good article on it here, but don't read it until you've seen the show.
