Joys of the Bully Pulpit

DMNews.com | News | Article: "
Syndicated columnist Dave Barry's Aug. 31 article on telemarketers may have been in jest, but it's been no laughing matter to the American Teleservices Association, which blames the article for jamming up its toll-free number.
Barry's article, titled 'Ask not what telemarketers can do to you' in the Miami Herald where it was originally published, included the ATA's toll-free telephone number and invited readers to call and 'tell them what you think.' Hundreds of newspapers also published the article, which was distributed by Tribune Media Services. "
