AOL CDs

[Moskitto]

You know when you go to your mailbox/floor just in front of your door and you see that blue frisbee/coffee mat and you think "NOOOOO, I've already got an ISP" or "I did not urgently request this" or you're a postman and you're like "It's rediculous I have to post these through everyone's door?"

Well here's something you can do about this junk mail that produces so much waste plastic and aggitates so many people.

www.nomoreaolcds.com is making a collection of 1,000,000 aol cds in order to deliver them back to aol infront of the media and see how they like it. There are mail addresses for the USA, Britain, France and Germany. Just remember when you send the disk to them, swipe it with something (a compass is best) to whipe the data so they can't send it out again.

Excellent!! A couple of months back I started sending all my junk mail back to the sender in those little postage paid envelopes they give you!!! It costs more than standard postage to them.

Don't be fooled by the little warning of the customer location code on the back, it says, don't mess with this code!! So they're on to us!! But guess what I send it back anyway!!!

What are they going to do, mail me and tell me to stop mailing their unwanted junk back to them???

I think AOL is sent 4th class in America which means you can't send it back to the sender and bill them or something. I don't know much about the US postal system.

They still give you lots of postage-paid envelopes though, I think. You could send them a brick and they'd have to pay for it if I'm not mistaken.

Yes!! Send them your week's newspapers!! All your trash!!! Keep the postal workers happy!!!

isn't there a law that requires those people to take you off their lists after you told them to?

I think if they don't you can actually sue them.

In the UK there is a law like that Called the "Data Protection Act." But the way AOL CDs are distributed (by getting the post office to put one through every door.) Means that you can't use that because they aren't storing your personal information unless you sign up.
