JE NE PARLE PAS FRANCAIS, YOU FRENCH BUCKING FRENCHIE

Got a call last night. It was an automated message in French. From the little French I understand (I dropped it after Grade 10), I gathered it was some university students taking a survey about media and new technology. After a while, the message said, "To continue in English, press 3."

Though this may have been perfectly legit, people doing this sort of thing need to know that, with all the telemarketing scams that involve pressing numbers, this is something that will keep people from participating in their survey.
