You've Got Spam!
I'm always hated AOL use of spamming tactics in the real world to try and boost membership. So I love this idea! These guys want to collect 1,000,000 AOL CDs to deliver to the door of AOL's headquarters. Right now they're approaching 65,000, which means they've probably been collecting for a day or two.
What sweet revenge. I hate the incredible quantities of CDs I get in the mail from AOL, in DVD cases, in metal Altoid-like tins, shrink wrapped to my Sports Illustrated, in my sunday paper... and I love how the boxes have "1000 Free Hours" printed on them and then they add a sticker about a Bonus 25 hours, like I'm really going to take the plunge now that I can stay on 24/7 for the 45 day trial instead of only 23.5 hours a day.
And those stupid TV commericals... but that's another AOL rant.
