Listening to the YouTube clips right now. That's pure gold.
I agree. I hope such things become well-developed. Although I'm not
prepared to be an early adopter this time, clearly this is exactly the

Endlessly entertaining.
In all of those voice-call clips, the answering 'customer' is a
Linux-based synthetic (all-software) voice-response bot. As of a year

sure he's fine-tuned the process of torturing these criminals, since
then.

having CDN drama (when attempting to serve the front page) at the
