LifeLock is standing tough behind their guy. As of 4:30 pm CST LifeLock is still warmly and proudly greeting all new Rush customers its special 10% discount deal, and their poor reps seem to be showing signs of stress (going off the neat little script that was provided for them to answer questions regarding their spokesperson/hero). After a few dozen calls, It has become clear to me that this company does not particularly care about our concerns. Here are their current talking points:
1. LifeLock is an internet security firm and takes no position in political disputes
2. LifeLock believes in the freedom of expression
3. Spending millions of advertising dollars per year w/ El Bobo does not mean support
4. We do not agree that most American women are sluts and prostitutes
New Tactic: Consume/waste LifeLock resources (primarily labor hours and phone charges). Call to enroll, ask tons of questions, ask for information to be repeated constantly, act confused, play dumb. Have some fun with it. Ask if the Rush discount applies to non bigots? I just told a Southern female representative that I was particularity concerned with theft because I live in an area of Chicago that has a high concentration of homosexuals residents. The next words out of her mouth: "we also let you know if a sex offender moves into your neighborhood". Because we all know that those homos are likely child rapists as well. That's what we are up against
Get 10 or 15 minutes into the call, right before the credit card part and dump the call. I usually, but not always reveal my true motivation. Sometimes I have gotten carried away in the fun and tipped my hand early to the rep. it takes real self-control. I have found this to be a much more satisfactory than a one or two minute standard protest call where all one gets is canned, scripted responses.
Wash, rinse, repeat as needed.

8:26 PM PT: Fun Variation: Play it straight to the end. Tell them you want to get the ultimate Package $275.00/yr/pp for yourself, your spouse, and three college age children = a very nice sale. Give the rep the first 4 or 5 digits of a card. Then STOP DEAD. Claim that your spouse wants to ask a question. Feign a brief chat away from the phone and return to the line to ask: I'm sure that you don't but, my wife wants to be sure that the company no longer advertises with the fat man. You will then be given assurance that LifeLock does not support the man but is going to continue to provide him with millions of dollars of advertising revenue each year ~ Bizzaro World. Terminate the call as you will. DRAIN THEIR TIME. This could also cause friction between labor and management. Every day, every call like this that they are forced to handle means that the agents are not selling product. This is my goal. If a coordinated effort was undertaken, I fail to see how the company would be able to maintain its intransigent position on the matter for long.
Be Well
