Aroo?

I just got a phone call from a woman named Katherine. She said she was from DirecTV, and she apologized for taking so long to process my rebate request. She assured me that it would show up on next month's bill.

Now, what was the weird part about all this? It was a computer. It was very clearly a computer-generated voice. And yes, she specifically identified herself as Katherine.

DirecTV, I just want you to know: that's fucking creepy. I'm a computer scientist and that's still fucking creepy. Quit it.
