When I was fourteen Telstra or Telecom as it was called then, sent my family an international telephone bill. Not so unusual you say? Except that is that it was addressed to my father who'd been dead for two years. I know that Telstra prides itself on their wide range of products and services but I was unware communication with the dead was among them, then or now. But what if they did?
Do you have aged relatives who expect a call every Sunday without fail? Can you imagine if this chore didn't end with the grave?
If you think outsourcing call centre jobs to India is bad well picture yourself sitting down to your microwaved healthy-choice dinner (fiesta chicken by the way) when you get a call from a telemarketer selling life insurance FROM THE LAND OF THE DEAD.

undead insurance would have a much more interesting advertising campaign than life insurance ...something along the lines of "at AUPIA* we believe that arggghhh [chomp] brains"
*Australian undead pensioners insurance agency
insurance companies these (end of) days are now not only offering fire, theft, contents insurance but comprehensive cover against zombie attack. it's telling, telling, truely telling of the times we live in.
