Kids First

Wow!
Imagine my surprise, when my cell phone starts ringing, and shows an unfamiliar number (202−747−7355, if you must know)… I normally let it go to voicemail, but I was feeling frisky today, so I answered…
A man comes on telling me he’s from Kids First, and gives a speech about what they do. I had to find out more info on their website, but Kids first is a program within The Coalition for Quality Children’s Media — they give their own stamp of approval for media to kids. He wants to know if I would watch two movies for free.
Um, what? Am I a kid? Am I the best to recommend a video for a kid? If it were up to me, I’d put on «Silence of the Lambs» for junior if I were desperate to get a screaming kid away from me.
I am starting to say no, and then ask him where he got my number from, he’s talking and saying «Thank you, goodbye,» when I’m trying to say, «Don’t you dare hang up! I’m still talking to you!»
And he hung up. On ME! Are you serious?
I go to their website and call back their main number. I start out advising that I just received a call on my cell phone which is on a do-​not-​call list, how did they get my number? She tells me they just try random numbers, and mine came up.
Okay, first of all, if you are running a business (even a nonprofit), wouldn’t you want to screen who you are calling? Your business is to put your approval on media, based on other people watching it? You could call some really messed up person, and they say they like it… is that wise?
She then asked for my phone number so she could remove it from their list.
Wait.
Didn’t you just say there was no list?
I also told her of the horrible service from the person calling me. She didn’t seem to care — hey lady, did you know that INDIFFERENCE is the #1 reason people don’t do business with a business?
I will never, ever, recommend these people for anything! Anything they have to do with, I am not
