@obra Yeah, a proactive call / email is a surefire way to get me to not buy.

I hate being proactively contacted by salespeople. Either I know I want what you're offering, or I've already bought it. Go away.

@C_LosRun Actually no! It seemed like a really wholesome ad to me.

Wait, people are actually mad about that ad, because it made an attempt to showcase America's diversity? They're really going to hate the 21st century.
