- I just got an automated call from the Psychic Hotline that will reveal
- my future for $1.98/min if I press "1" to accept the collect call.
- Unlike TV where, in small type for those viewers capable of reading,
- it tells you that your future is for entertainment purposes only, this
- call is unequivocal about the promise. I tried to flash and connect
- the operator into the call, but the caller seems to have read its
- future and hungup. These are the times I wish for national Caller-ID
- and ANI.
