This gives me gas

i got gas

I don't know how many gas marketers arrived at your door over the past year, but I think I can recall at least six. Door-to-door cold call sales has to be one of the world's nastiest occupations, so it didn't surprise me how aggressive these folks were.

Now the gas marketers have been doing big radio ad buys on CKNW, who they dub as one of their "media partners." Really? So media outlets you pay to advertise with are your partners?

I think these companies are looking for the credibility that their hard-sell tactics failed to get them on doorsteps.

It reminds me of a really old bad joke I heard when I was a kid. Something about a truck stop is the best place to eat and get gas (har!).

I get gas just from this over-the-top web landing page.
