Companies I Hate

Posted by

I love e-mail. I look forward to checking my accounts every morning. I've discovered a pattern; perhaps it's just a larger signal to noise ratio at play, but I seem to get more unsolicited commercial messages on the weekends. For instance, today I received 81 pieces of electronic garbage. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly humiliate the following companies for blasting me crap that I didn't ask for: 1800Flowers, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, ACDSee and RealOptimizer, CBS SportsLine, America Online, and Discover Card. If any of these companies rented lists to market their tripe to me, their shame should go even deeper. If you know somebody from one of these companies, you might want to tell them that their reputation is getting tarnished. I'm tired of legit businesses thinking they can get away with a single opt-in procedure, or purchasing e-mail addresses that are assumed to be real. If you want to use e-mail to get your message out to people, why not place advertising in existing publications? MORONS!
