According to the Food and Drug Administration, that's exactly what XanGo is doing in promotional brochures, violating U.S. law in the process.

What began as an innovative strategy to promote the film "Believe" has become an authentic -- yet still tongue-in-cheek -- online campaign with the goal of limiting the contact between multi-level marketing or direct-sales companies and the general public. Modeled on the official 'Do Not Call' list targeted at telemarketers, the new 'MLM Do Not Contact Registry' can be found at www.donotcontactlist.com.
