i don't like that...

Well they aren't making it any easy for themselves with this comment....

*That could mean razor ads for men, cosmetics ads for women and video-game ads for teens.

• I must still be a teen because I still play video games, and the last thing I look at is a razor ad.... :lol:

You ever notice how on TV they always run laxitive and tampon ads right at dinner time? How about all the Pizza ads that run during the tonight show an hour after they close? I get ads for AARP, NRA, NAACP, Ellie Weisel foundation, viagra and victoria's secret in my mailbox.  Every three months Globe Life sends my dead wife another insurance policy (Apply now! You can't be turned down!) Maybe I should buy one then turn around and say, "OK, Pay up!" My youngest drop-out gets credit card and female executive magazines since when she was 12. My dog gets porsche car care products and yachting magazines. I'm sure they will mess this up as well.

I love this!  My wife kept getting promo mailshots for new cars and car insurance. I got sick of this when we finally got one that offered my wife a 24hour test drive in a peurgot(ss). I rang them up on her behalf and started chatting up - I can be soooooo charming - the young lady rep.  

I started in about how my wife had got this promo and what were the cars like and did ladies like them and were they easy to drive and are you sure my wife can use it for 24 hours and how would we go about arranging for a test-drive. And was it ok that my wife didn't have a license and couldn't get one because she is an epiliptic and has seizures everyday..............(ooops!)

I nearly choked trying not to laugh when the girl said, ".....er......I.....er.....Oh! I am so sorry! Should I take your wife off our mailing list then?"

Odd that we haven't heard from them since.....!

:b_funny:

That's a good way to get them to get your address off the list permanently... :lol:

To be fair, unless any one persons full info is readily available to these companies, which it obviously isn't, then the only way to get some sort of return from the ads that are sent out is to blanket them. This of course does mean that we continually get a lot of crap.
Even though our letter box says that no adverts are to be posted here, the local Pizza company still keeps posting.

My original reply to this was very long. I have shortened it to:

LOL

and

ARRG!
 

Interesting.

..remember these are the same kind of twits who still send pns enlargement ads to women...;)

lol
