The Dove Foundation
Gotta get this one down before I forget it.[telephone rings]
Me: Hello?
Candy: Hello, may I speak with the lady of the house?
Me: Who is this?
Candy: Well, this is Candy, and I'm with the Dove Foundation. Is she available?
Me: What is this regarding?
Candy: Well, Okay. As I said, my name is Candy, and I'm with the Dove Foundation. And this is not a sales call.
Me: Okay, if it's not a sales call, what is it?
Candy: Well, Okay. As I said, my name is Candy, and I'm with the Dove Foundation. We're a non-profit organization [starts to give me a lengthy speech about their organiztion]...
Me: Do you have a website?
Candy: Well, Okay. As I said, we're a non-profit organization, and our website is double you double you double you dot dove dot org.
Me: [begins typing address]
Candy: But this is just an informational call, and it'll only take another ninety seconds. Is that okay?
Me: Sure.
Candy: Well, okay then. Thank you for your time.

(and no, it wasn't me that hung up!)
I'm telling you, the calls in which they ask for the lady of the house are the funniest ones of all.
But I did visit The Dove Foundation, and it eppears to be a movie review site. In one respect, it's much nicer than kidsinmind (a website I no longer recommend) It's nicer because it doesn't have annoying and obtrusive pop-up advertisements (which is the reason I no longer recommend kidsinmind.
This is apparently a very new website - they have a google page ranking of zero out of ten. To put that in perspective, my personal blog here has a page ranking of four out of ten.
Ha ha...according to wikipedia, The Dove Foundation has been fined seventy thousand dollars for violation of "Do Not Call" laws.
