"I first heard the CD on the Howard Stern Show and I had to have it. Jim Florentine is the greatest. It would be a dream come true if he would make a prank phone call to me. Get this CD for hours of fun!"

Politically incorrect and hilarious

"This CD is out of control. I never laughed so hard in my life. I never thought jokes about someone having cancer would be funny. Jim just tortures these telemarketers, and for good reason. No matter what affliction he tells them he has [Whether it be cancer, he's retarded, he can't stop burping or taking a dump] These telemarketers still stay on the line. You really realize what ruthless scum these people are. It is truly one of the funniest CD's I've heard in a long time. I guarentee you you will not regret buying it."

And now for something completely different

"What a great idea! For those of us, which probably means all of us, that have been bugged to [the max] by people who seemed to be qualified for nothing more than trying to sell you something you don't need, this recording was a blessing. It shows a great selection of ideas to turn the tables on these folks by keeping them on the phone as long as possible with no intention of every purchasing their product. You see, telemarketers really don't mind (well, at least after the first 500 times) being hung up on right away. This is the way to weed out the definite "NOs" and get to another [victim] that much quicker. The key is to keep them on the phone as long as possible, which prevents them from generating sales. That's what gives a feeling of a job well done. True, some of these situations are like shooting fish in a barrel, as [they tend to be] saddled by a strict script [by] the subjects. And true, you can tell by many of the calls that they seem to be from an initial inquiry done by Florentine, so these people are returning calls more than initiating them. And true, the callers biologically are people and this is their bread and butter. But hey! Too bad! I, and I'm sure a lot of you, have had bad experiences with these people. Either by people who won't take "NO" for an answer, or call back when you tell them not to, or hide behind a charity (when they're really professional fund raisers) to those who once in awhile have gotten through to you at a weak point and actually sold you something you didn't need. To all those "people", this [ones] for you!"
