A form of cluetrain-ignorant marketing in which an organization, often a political campaign, uses a machine to dial your phone number and leave a pre-recorded message, deliberately wasting your time and subjecting you to a dehumanizing experience in order to save the organization time and money.

A prerecorded phone message sent to many unhappy phone owners to try and get people to buy some lame junk.
