How To Mail A Brick (Postage Paid) To A Spammer/Junk Mailer

Postby Hakaider » Thu Dec 01, 2011 6:12 am

I don't know if this would actually work, but this is a hilarious article on how to mail a brick (postage paid) to spammers & junk mailers.

And remember, the U.S. Postal Service needs the business, and you are helping them out when you mail the junk mailers & spammers the heaviest brick that you can find. (And be sure to pack it very nicely.) :mrgreen:

Note: This may not work outside the United States, since many junk mailers & spammers will not pay for overseas postage.

I like it! Finally I can get even with Time Magazine whose circulation department just can't seem to believe that I no longer wish to subscribe. :D

Well, just make sure that you don't put your return address on the package. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

And the Times isn't going to be too happy when they have to pay the postage for the brick. (So make that a very BIG brick.) :lol: :lol: :lol:

I solved my junk mail problem last year....

I killed myself.. :lol:

Every time I got a catalog or junk mail advertising their product I called them and told them that I had died .... after being reported dead for about 5 or 6 months it started to slow down and soon dried up to a trickle and then NONE>.........

So if you have the cajoles to off yourself, your junk mail problem will be solved.... :lol:
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.

What? Mail a brick or declare yourself dead? :D

Cheers!

How weird would it be if you mailed them a brick AFTER you declared yourself dead? That would cause lots of confusion...

Not if it was a brick from a graveyard. Not only would it give them pause it may get you a segment on Unsolved Mysteries. :)

I remember when I first got on the net back in 1985 or so.. the local system I was on tended to come up with these (back then) big memory dump files.. digital rubbish. I think at the time they were about 100K or so .. it was nice to have because if you emailed them to a spammer it would likely crash their system..
