Calling the ICE anonymous deportation tip line and playing the Seinfeld theme song autotuned to middle C, for as long as the operator would put up with, proved to be a far more gratifying exercise than originally anticipated.
The secret, apparently, is to play it just quiet enough they think there's just a problem with the phone line. I lasted like a minute and a half.
I like to think I was jamming their line just as someone was trying to report their 6-yr-old neighbor. ^___^

Seriously, I kinda wonder sometimes why activists haven't tried more strategies like this to demoralize the rank and file. I know first-hand what kind of effect a few really persistent cranks can have on somebody's desire to do their shitty, socially corrosive job.
Normally my sympathy for workaday phone operators is huge, but... dammit, not if they're working for a government agency actively deporting kids and innocent professionals. They're lucky to avoid the noose. -_-
