Arbitron will never figure it out, too.

Arbitron uses a percentage of RDD calls (Random Digit Dialing) to know
prefixes. This is to pick up unlisted phones in proportion with their
presence in each metro. Some will be inactive. Some will not answer. Some
will be faxes. So they perform enough calls to get the proper quota of
unlisted numbers to get market proportionality.

It doesn't matter that the comedian expected to get the pie in his face,
it's still funny to watch it happen.

I dunno if you mean me or him. Below I enclosed the entire text of
the letter sent to me, then having been rejected after they found out
my modem phone number wasn't my primary voice mail -- their online
registration actually told me that I wasn't the person at that number.

The flat earth society lives -- at Arbitron and in the mind of
Eduardo.

"It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the purpose of a
business is to make money. But the real purpose of a business is to
create value. While it’s possible to make money in the short run
without creating much value, in the long run it’s unsustainable.
Even criminal organizations have to create value for someone."
