Rejection Hotline

okay, so this first sentence from the Wikipedia entry for "Rejection Hotline" says it all: "The Rejection Hotline is a list of phone numbers with a recorded message informing the caller that he/she has been rejected by the person giving him/her the number."

BRILLIANT. i'm disappointed that i didn't come up with the idea first. i already memorized the toronto number and am ready to pass it on to any creepy weirdos loitering around transit stops demanding my digits.

I find them less waxy than their North American counterparts.

I'm a bit late on the draw here, but I just watched a short video on nytimes.com about the Wrong Store, an offshoot of Maurizio Cattelan's 'The Wrong Gallery'.
