You guys get this upset when you get a Pottery Barn catalog?

|couch|

what the hell is an Pottery Barn catalog? we only get, neckerman, wehkamp, morres, readest digest, otto, bakker, and about 100"you win an 100.000 euro"shit, about 7 free newspapers and about 50 other free flyers a week:D but no porn:D till now |couch|

I totally understand what you all mean about getting adult junk mail in your mail box, and I understand that yes, the government is making money from the postage and that the company sending you the junk mail is paying for it, but in a nutshell I hate that way more than spam. I throw away about 15 mailings a day, each a few pages long, that stuff fills up my trash can pretty fast. They kill tons of trees each year with it. What I don't understand is why the consumers do not complain more about it. IMHO junk postal mail should be banned as well, unless I subscribe to "please fill my trash can" list.

Pottery Barn is mainstream, dude. Now - let's talk about Ballard Designs. That's PORN, baby. And I don't appreciate it one bit. How dare those bastards fill me with lustful desires? I yearn for their (curtain) rods. I crave their sexy (drawer and door) knobs.

*sigh*

Biggest disappointment here was opening a 'chck' to find out it wasn't!
I can see the point about the content though - my daughter is 9 and although there is nothing x rated I wouldn't have wanted her opening that one up.
Oh, and I was also already signed up with them :) Gotta say though, that if I wasn't, that wouldn't have led me to sign up, I'd have been far far more tempted to sign up if it was made as an announcement on the boards.

Yeah - that is the one thing that pisses me off - the 1st time I got one like this, I emailed the sponsor & told them they forgot to include my check :D

I'm not special, so I didn't get this particular junk mail - how was it delivered? Regular envelope? Post card type thing? Magazine/flyer?

its was so small kind of envolope thing where you expect your checks in with poststamp, and in that a small thin flyer thing with text to promoot the program and then the 3 famouse teens on it

Mine was delivered by the mailman :D

It just came in a regular envelope, could easily have been a check from CC Bill - except there was no check inside of course

Woohoo - GG quoted me!!!!

lol, seriously, the flyer came in an envelope you'd expect a check in- looked pretty much like a nastydollars check, except it wasn't! Even the wife thought it was a check, man, you shoulda seen her eyes light up then shut down lol

Again, seriously - and I'd be interested in others thoughts here - if it was a board announcement I'd have looked into it in more detail. There you go teen revenue - honest feedback ;) Hope it helps! :)

my kids open it becuse they thought it was a check.......mmm not fun to see a teen with her underwear on half of her butt...age of my kids...8 and 10...NO FUN! and that flyer thing promoted the teenrevenue with the how much you can earn and check it out thing, i had them already, why the fuck snd me that by mail?
