riddle me that, batman

Why is it you always have to opt out of something no one wants to be in and opt into something you'd be insane to want out of?

ACW just made me a happy little flower by telling me about the Verizon wireless opt out so that my phone doesn't get spammed by businesses I don't want calling it. Fuckers. (Not ACW, he's only one man. I mean Verizon.)
