Spam advertisements in the mail. Every Wednesday, Sunday, and probably all the other days of the week apartment owners all over the nation get tons of it stuffed in their boxes. What's worse is that apartment complexes provide trashcans next to mailboxes, not recycling bins. I know the spam in my box goes straight to the trashcan, and most of the time it's already overflowing from other tenants who are doing the same.

Why can't companies just stop wasting their money on silly advertisement campaigns that end up killing trees and crippling the recycling revolution and just..............advertise on the internet or something???

:doh:

 

i guess u never been to Hawaii.....they ****ing have Spam @ mcdonalds...its everywhere down there

 

i like fried spam, eggs, and rice.

 

:werd:

Garlic fried rice makes it even better. :drool:

 

the "junk mailers" say they get between 2-4% response from their ads, which more than pays for the cost to produce and distribute them.

 

what are you guys filipino

 

What makes you say that???

 

I think the biggest step in reducing any kind of spam, be it snail mail, email or phone calls.... DON"T BUY FROM THEM.

Like puffy said, they make money. How many times do you see a company send 5 people to your house with a new car and let you keep it for a week to see how you like it? None, cause it's not cost effective and they can't make a profit. As long as people keep buying from spam sources, it will continue.

The Do-Not-Call list? Good idea, less phone calls. Now how many of the people that used to make those calls are going to move over to email spam or something similar. It's what they know. Sell stupid shit to thousands and hope one person falls for it.
