Californians Get Calls Asking To Support Wal-Mart - In Lincoln Nebraska

<snip>

LINCOLN, Neb. --Several residents of Lincoln, Calif., received phone calls last week asking for their support for a Wal-Mart in northeast Lincoln.

The only problem was that the call concerned a proposed Wal-Mart that was no where near California. It's in Lincoln, Neb.

Residents were asked to support the Wal-Mart by contacting the Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Department.

Many Californians did -- to complain about the calls.

A telemarketing company rented call machines that were used recently to promote the Wal-Mart in Nebraska, Wal-Mart spokesman Ryan Horn said.

The Wal-Mart message was not erased from one of the machines and wound up being heard by the Californians in place of the telemarketer's message.

1. Now what we need to do is get a stealth program into those machines...

that will subliminally recite all the atrocities of the Bush administration underneath the telemarketer speil.
