The "National Punch A Spammer or Telemarketer in the Face Day" campaign is designed to bring awareness to the incessant and crippling annoyances and frustrations we all feel when we receive persistent email spam or telemarketing phone calls to our cell phones. It's also an opportunity to address the weaknesses of the CAN-SPAM Act and the National Do Not Call Registry, both of which have failed to substantially curb unsolicited phone call and emails.
While we understand the Obama Administration does not condone violence against anyone, regardless of how much the intended target may deserve it. But spammers and telemarketers are leeching and ethically-barren, condemned souls. A swift punch in the face is our last resort to get them to understand that we don't want them to email or call us.
