As long as that tactical air strike uses MIRV nuclear warheads so none of the little f*ckers get away ...

It is at this point that I am reminded of the wisdom of former FTC
Commissioner Orson Swindle, who was testifying before Congress on
the subject of spam when he said "We need a couple of good hangings
here."
It was true in 2003 (which is I believe when he said it) and it's still
true now.  Fines, whatever they are, will be evaded and bargained down,
companies will be dissolved and reconstituted, money will be laundered,
and the problem will persist.

I've occasionally thought that a tactical air strike on a couple of
call centers might just convince the others of the errors of their
ways.
