So those annoying phone calls from Columbia House may not get the hang up treatment in the near future. When those massive mailings arrive every couple of months offering 5 DVD's for 49 cents, you'll be fighting the kids for those little stickers for your mailing card. All because Columbia House is branching out into the Adult Entertainment sector of the mail order business.
No more dumping that massive envelope from Col House into the recycling bin right away, instead go get the bifocals strengthened, the better to make out the images on those tiny little postage stamp like DVD covers. Across North America the Columbia House magazine may get as dog eared as a favourite old copy of Playboy.
Just think the next time you get a call from the helpful gal at Columbia House she'll be breathlessly telling you the virtues of Prom Queen showdown, Voracious Vixens, et al. Instead of the recitation of the music or mainstream movie stars of the day you'll be tempted with summaries of the latest of the efforts from the seedier side of Hollywood.
You may actually find yourself listening through the entire list, (sorry I missed the first ten could you repeat them please, slowly) before curtly dismissing her from your phone line. And just imagine the fun around the kitchen phone when the little ones listen to you place your first five orders!
Only question remaining for the legal beagles at Col House will such phone calls qualify as a 1 800 version of Adult entertainment as found in your local yellow pages? And if so are they breaking any CRTC rules by listing the lust?
