Survey SAYS…&^$%@
NS November 9th, 2007
If you ever find yourself drunk and high on cocaine, with a mobile phone and endless top-up credit at your disposal, you could do what this loser did — phone up women, pretending to be a representative conducting a survey for Marks & Spencer, and at the end of the conversation spout forth a bunch of intimidating sexual threats and remarks, leaving your victims shocked, disgusted and most likely frightened as well.
The two things that strike me as odd about this story are: one, that he was only charged with a single count of causing a public nuisance, even though he made over 15,000 calls in the space of 20 months and two, that he couldn’t have been working if he was drinking, snorting coke and making lewd phone calls to women all day. Those numbers average out to around 200 perverted calls a WEEK. Dude must’ve been on government benefits or independently wealthy to be able to afford enough credit on his pay-as-you-go phone to keep up with such a demanding pace, not to mention the eightballs of blow and the rivers of booze. Either way, he was a sick, sick puppy who enjoyed intimidating women just for the fun of it and I’m glad that he got an actual jail sentence of 2.5 years.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go make a call…
