Via Slashdot we learn that some people in the telemarketing industry are on the national do-not-call list.

The home telephone numbers of 11 top executives of the Direct Marketing Association – which has waged a bitter court battle to kill a federal no-call list – are on the new registry, which would make them off-limits to those annoying sales calls.

The Courant found the DMA employees, and top executives from two large telemarketing companies, among the 50 million numbers on the Federal Trade Commission’s anti-telemarketing do-not-call list.

The DMA executives, some of whom admit they signed up to protect their own privacy, did so even as their organization waged a legal campaign to prevent federal regulators from blocking telemarketers’ calls to millions of other Americans.

Hypocritical bastards…
