One of those "free" numbers works good for that. I have a GrandCentral* number that rings and if the caller doesn't announce, it goes to voice mail. Or I can just dump 'em to voice mail.
 
(*number still works okay in spite of Google buying them; no ads yet but they probably track everything).

Yeah, I have Google Voice and I can do that as well.
 
With one call so far I'm not too worried.

Sensual, emotional. Curvaceous.
 
Oh, and the car is also cool.

#6961 of 7122 Disrespectful by xrunner2

Latest Ford commercial is with this guy who has done other Ford commercials. Here he is again wearing his cap. Inside a Ford dealership building obviously, with no sun or rain and wearing a stupid baseball cap. He is talking to a woman, who is not wearing a cap or hat. How dumb is that. The woman does not need a cap or hat but a guy, maybe a macho guy, needs a cap. A cap for what? So, maybe Ford can defend this by saying the guy was not wearing his cap backwards. The commercial loses legitimacy by a guy wearing a cap and disrespecting a woman. Is this guy bald and trying to protect his image while disrespecting women?

Mike Rowe?
 
Maybe you have to know who he is from his shows. Watch Dirty Jobs when you get a chance.

OK, we get it. You don't like caps.

And this means what? I've seen few southern women wearing stetsons while shopping so by your logic men who are normally called southern gentlemen are in actuality disrespecting women. And those UK ladies were being rather disrespectful to the men during the royal wedding. (Edmunds, you need a rolls eyes emotorcon?)

Gotta echo a comment there - if I was in one of those I might want a mask, too
 
Saw the "look at that new Toyota!" ad last night, it was one specifically for the Corolla. Look at that black trim hubcapped rental spec Toyota! Nobody gets excited and points at one of those, and nobody who buys one wants anyone to react like that.
 
Some of the Presidents Day sale commercials have been lame (Ford), but the Honda gives me an odd laugh.

It reminds me of an ad for the previous generation Focus where the ditzy female owner said that she liked it because it was "sleek and sporty."
Compared to what? A Daewoo Nubria?
