A handful of houses in Mead were evacuated for several hours Tuesday night after a telemarketer threatened to blow up the house of a family who refused to purchase a product, according to our partners at the Greeley Tribune.
The telemarker called a home on Eagle Avenue about 6:30 p.m.
When the homeowner said he was not interested in the product for sale, the telemarketer said there was a bomb in that house and it would blow it up if anyone left, said Tim Schwartz, spokesman for the Weld County Sheriff’s Office

A picture of the suspect is below:

I wonder of they recorded the call for "quality control and training purposes"...

Is Foamy still out there? Years ago it was a big deal when a new Foamy episode came out but they started going downhill. The Indian telemarketer ones were the best. The support for Smell Computers.

Who listens to telemarketers long enough for them to tell you there's a bomb in the house? He'd have to lead with that...

So what are these things you call "breaks?" [Flower] I still like some of the old rants.
