In the Interest of Science

As I’m sure all of you Fido prepaid customers are aware, the prepaid account system for refilling stuff is now voice activated. Instead of a few quick keypresses, I must now exert the effort to manipulate my vocal cords to answer several questions. The first question is if I would like to refill my prepaid account. Today, I decided to let Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, speak on my behalf.

I dialed *46, the number for account management. The computer started, “Hi, I’m Andrea, and I’m here to help you…” and so on and so forth. I quickly navigated to darthno.ytmnd.com to reply. I held my phone up to the speakers as Vader let his NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO out.

Sadly, Andrea “didn’t get it.”
