Maybe they can suspend ALL door-to-door marketing? Everywhere? Or, ask their vendors politely to stop hiring outside-gardening-watching-masturbaholics?
Or are they trying to imply that something like this would only happen in Delaware?

In other areas of the state, lewd outside-gardening-watching-masturbaholics have temporarily suspended activities lest they be confused for high-pressure DSL salespeople.

\"...Masturbating Salesman\" - now that is a headline you won't find in any major newspaper! Long live the blogosphere!

@BillyShears: The quaintness has returned because of the do-not-call list. Almost nobody sold anything on my doorstep in the 90's. Now door salespeople are around a couple times a month at least.

Can we have some Salesman masturbate over here in Washington?

I guess you could say that they \"jerked all their door-to-door salespeople off the streets\"

\"Door-to-door sales is awfully...quaint. I have a hard time believing it's still actually done in 2008.\"
My boss still has a milkman making deliveries in his quaint neighborhood.
So, the commercials are true. Verizon customers have creepy dudes following them around jerking off.

How come female salesman aren't so bold.
And Meg we're still waiting for a pic of the woman in the garden. Who knew Consumerist readers were so perverted?
Maybe he could work for AT&T so he could reach out and touch someone...besides himself.
Charter subcontracted out for D2D in my area. We're VERY rural and VERY knowledgeable in who lives where.
One sales rep claimed to a fellow that neighbors down the road from him had cable service.
Farmer, without blinking \"Son, ain't no one living down that road save for my cattle\".
Charter quit doing D2D shortly afterward.

Creepy new slogans for Verizon to use....

Verizon takes this very seriously. While we are happy that our contract vendors are excited to show our product to new potential customers, we have suspended door to door sales until we can come to a conclusion on how to prevent such an event from reaching such a climax in the future.

Sorry Snoop, MayorBee and the others, excellent efforts, but I vote Puck for the win on this one.
Come test drive the worlds most reliable.....
Verizon.... Cumming soon in your neighborhood.
@BillyShears: Companies should dump door to door sales all together. Most of the door to door salespeople we get are either methed up runaways peddling magazines or from crazy fundamentalist churches trying to convert people. Not exactly the grouping most major companies want to be associated with.
Door to door sales is a bad idea today. People are more suspicious of strangers due to the increase in home invasions by similar tactics. Fewer people are home during the day since most are gone at work. When people are home at night they are probably less open to interruptions for an unsolicited sales pitch because they are trying to get all the things done they didn't do because they were at work for 8-12 hours.
They need a \"do not call\" list for homes.

Now if only the Jehovahs could suspend door-to-door marketing, er, preaching.
That broad obviously had it coming, look at how she was dressed.
How come Verizon (or anyone else) isn't disclosing what company actually hired this guy? I know of a company that has a contract with Verizon for door to door sales, and somebody should expose (haha) their deceptive MLM-type policies, but I'm too lazy to read the new comment policies to find out if me doing it is kosher.
On a different note I just spent an hour driving to two different Verizon wireless stores trying to find someone who WANTS to sell my the new cell phone I want to purchase. (I refuse to give my business to sales people that don't care.)
I hate salesman who jerk me around ... wait, that didn't sound right.
My compliments to Verizon for taking a \"hands on\" approach to reach a climax in the investigation.
I wish Verizon would stop their door-to-door sales in Florida. I've been getting one of their salesholes leaving crap at my door at least once a week since they laid fiber. I've tried to chase them off with the nice big \"NO SOLICITING\" sign at the entrance to the development, but they claim they can peddle their wares because they're a utility.

CALIFORNIANS: Advertising (fliers) on private property without permission from the owner or leassee is a public nuisance and misdemeanor. (penal code 556.1)
Any restaurant, construction company, handy man, painter, gardener, etc. who advertises this way is telling you that they are NO good. If they were, they would succeed by word-of-mouth.
It's spam, but worse because it's tangible! Oh and it's litter and everyone knows when you're not home.

Door-to-door sales is awfully...quaint. I have a hard time believing it's still actually done in 2008. Maybe it's just the city in me, but I know if someone I neither know or expect comes knocking on the door claiming to be selling phone service, I assume \"this guy's out to rob/murder\" someone and ignore him.
If he persists I call the cops.
