I do love me the Swedish Chef. I limited myself to naming four from each show, with an extra "Elmo must die" option and I named all five Fraggles. And I should have added Oscar, too. Hm, hm.
As to the phone stuff, then hang up without being ruder than just plain hanging up. ;)
I can't speak for other companies, but the one I work for does this for a lot of governmental statistics and some market research. In all, I find it's really valuable information we're collecting, but I can understand that you might not be into it. I often wish *I* would be surveyed (and, in fact, I always answer surveys when I've been called) for the surveys I'm giving, because then my opinion is being counted for something.
<shrugs> A hangup is better than a "FUCK YOU" hang up, but if you really don't want research companies calling you, say "Please take me off your list" and THEN hang up. I'm not sure about other companies but I know that mine then removes you from the list and never calls you back. Ever.
