Send a BRICK to Junk Mailer....

Nice... and to think I have been recycling all the boxes my buell parts have been showing up in?!?!

[up]
 
I shipped a box full of rocks like that earlier this summer. My mail lady thought it was hilarious. She carries mail on foot up to each house and the previous day had to deliver one of these pre-paid junk mailings up to every house on her route. She gladly carried my box of rocks back to her mailtruck. It had to have weighed 20 lbs.
 
I tried to post the link on my Facebook page and the thumbnail picture option was............ a hand drawn picture of anal beads being pulled from, well we here they are typically pulled from! WTF?!?
 
Thanks, I just wasted the last hour on that site. Funny stuff...

At least now I have something to do with the 5 CC offers I get every week. (Bricks are going to start to get expensive)
 
LOLOL That shit is epic.

You know those obnoxious "refinance your home" or credit card scams offers that you get in the mail? This is called direct marketing, where marketers use a reduced bulk postal rate to send entire forests of paper mail to you.

So this is something you can do in response.

Find a shoebox, or a storage bin, or any cardboard box you have laying around. Fill it up with bricks, big blocks of iron, or maybe cement. Tape the box up with everyday packaging tape. Use a junkmail's postage-paid envelope and tape it neatly to the top cover of the box. NEATLY. And mail it off. Envelope revenge!

A few days later, your package shows up at the junk mailer's location, and they have to pay for every cent of delivery. Once the cost outweighs the benefit, they will stop sending out direct mail marketing material. And that is my goal.

Doing this has the following beneficial side effects:

-Since these companies pay the post office, this lightens the load taxpayers need to pay to keep the post office operating

-This creates employment opportunities. The post office keeps cutting staff because of lack of buisness; this gives the post office a huge source of income from the credit card scam companies.

-This will lead to more cautious bulk mailing. Maybe these junk mailers simply don't know they are annoying people? Hopefully they will learn very quickly!

-This makes me laugh maniacly, like a cartoon supervillan.

-This saves trees. Once enough of us do this, the junk mail companies will stop sending us junk. Or at least they will be more discriminate about it. It will save trees and keep the landfills empty! Yay!

-If we do this enough, the USPS will make so much money, that they will lower postage costs.

Q: How much does this cost the recipient?
A: Junk mailers PAY about twenty cents an ounce. That means an eight pound package COSTS THEM about $25. And all of the proceeds go directly to the United States Postal Service.

Q: Can you do this with email spam?
A: Sure can! http://officeofstrategicinfluence.com/spam/

Q: Does this actually work?
A: Someone used my company's buisness-reply from inside the magazine, and taped it to a box. That's how I know this works

Q: What is the weight limit?
A: I've heard rumors that it is 13 ounces, but the box that was sent to the magazine I work for was twenty two pounds.

Q: Is this legal?
A: Just don't send hazardous materials (ie batteries), or things considered unhealthy (ie dirty underwear). Seriously, no dirty underwear.

Q: Are you sure I can't mail underwear?
A: Well if you do, mail me a picture. Like these: thongs

Q: Does this cost anything?
A: No. What's wrong with you

Q: Does this help American families?
A: Yes. The United States postal Service employs nearly two million people. These numbers are going down drasticly because of increased e-mail use. This junk mail program signifigantly increases USPS income generation, which allows the government to employ more people. We at Dear Bulk Mailer are pro-family, pro-jobs, and pro-America.

Q: Is this myspace?
A: No. wtf?

Q: Does this work in the UK?
A: I don't know, maybe one of my UK buddies can tell me!

Q: Do the bar codes track you?
A: No. In fact, if you put the envelopes side by side, most of them have the same barcode. They just tell the Post Office machines what type of postage they should have.

Q: How do you choose which junk mailer to send these packages to?
A: Any -- and every -- junk mailer that gives you a postage-paid envelope.

Q: Where do I get free boxes?
A: Be creative. Shoeboxes, boxes you buy things in... Even paper works if you tape it up neatly. Just make sure everything is nice and neat, and doesn't resemble some sort of unibomber contraption, and you'll be fine.

Q: Can I use this to get free postage to recipients other than junk mailers?
A: No. That is illegal, and you're stupid.

Q: Can I send drugs?
A: No, stupid!

Q: How do I show pictures of what I sent?
A: Here! http://officeofstrategicinfluence.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=5

Q: Can I send....
A: DO NOT SEND ANYTHING HARMFUL OR ILLEGAL. This is supposed to be fun and entertaining, and you should not hurt anyone in the slightest. For instance, hurting a spam company in the wallet is good...hurting a person in their mailing room is very, very bad.
 
Well I grabbed the mai today and without thinking ripped up 2 junk mail envelopes, BUT I had 3 so this bad boy will be going out with the mail man tomorrow ;)

this is so damn funny, had post it on FB. this is funny funy , i will have to do this have lots of prepaid envelopes, with junk mail , sick of getting junk mail or crap i dony want , why do these junk mailers send stuff to that you have no interest in what so ever , I thought that had some system or program of sorts to know what you companies you have ordered from or what magezines or catalogs you you recieve or have a subscription too or whatever from thier mailing list, but it seems that junk mail has gotting worse and more of it , hell the two months i have recieved free issue to a womens mag (redbook) why would any man want to read that crap , hell my gf doesnt even like that crapy magezine, wtf are this companies thinking?? I think send them back with a box full of dirt with thier return envelopes.
 
I wish I could think of something good to do to all of the local places that leave things in my railing or in my front door handle. That stuff irritates me even worse. it's bad enough when it's put nicely in your mailbox, but I hate when someone other than a post office worker just leaves shit on my property, basically saying "here, you throw this away for me". If I knew where all the places were I'd just take a million things and go leave it on their front porch. I don't really see how that doesn't qualify littering or trespassing.
