* The Website/JollyRogerTelephoneCompany is an Internet-based company which designs bots which are designed to waste the time of telemarketers and other unwanted callers. Oftentimes, the callers end up being this, particularly if they are, in fact, telemarketers. They may ''want'' to hang up, but may be working under a rule that they're not really supposed to unless the person being called says something which is obviously abusive, which the bots won't do. In some cases, they may be using a computerized system that does not even have a method for them to easily hang up, as it's expected for the person being called to end the conversation. As such, they may have to get a supervisor involved before they can hang up. This is regarded as a big win, since it now means that ''two'' people are tied up with the bot.
