AOL Has stooped to a new low!

03-31-2004, 05:59 AM

I wake up this morning and go outside to get my newspaper. I pick it up (It's in a plastic bag to keep it safe from the elements). Anyways, I bring it in and low and behold guess what's inside? You guessed it - a fucking AOL CD.

This wasn't just stuffed in the bag with the paper. It was in it's own hot sealed compartment in the bag. I'm not saure if this is common practice where you live, but a definite first for me.

AOL will do anything to get subscribers to their crappy service.

They've got cashiers dropping them into bags as people check out at the grocery store that I go to.

One of the guys who works for my father has a collection going. At last count he had over 500 discs. It's amazing how many different design patterns and promos they've come up with for the CDs.

AOL cd's make great coffee coasters and projectiles for neighbour hood dogs that piss on my lawn.

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

Good point. I bet they are one of the largest bulk junk mail senders on the planet next to Publisher's fucking Clearinghouse. Maybe we should file a class action lawsuit against them

The one that torques me is the little standup display giving away AOL CDs at US Post Office branches these days. Guess that's where they're saving the extra discs that they didn't junkmail me... but hell, if I'm already paying taxes and increasingly-silly amounts in postage, can't I *please* not get ad-bombed when I want into the gawddamn Post Office??!?!?

The grocery store and the post office all get paid if someone signs up using one of those CDs. So who is to blame for those, AOL or the companies who order the CDs from AOL to give away?

When comparing what they do to spam, it may be, but none of CDs has sent me a virus, or offered my 14 year old daughter to enlarge her penis.....

At least when they used floppies, you could make use of them.

Maybe we need a law demanding they use rewritable CDs?

Collect all the CDs they send you and mail them straight back to AOL.

If I'm really bored one day, I'm gonna go down to the post office, buy a stack of address labels, a stack of stamps, grab the pile of AOL CDs next to the counter and mail them to random AOL-related addresses.

Blame your newspaper for being an AOL affiliate. They are the ones who put that CD in there. Not AOL.

Yea, I hate getting all of those AOL cds. When I go into a store that has a box full of them for customers to take, I grab as many as I can and walk out with them and throw them away.
I look at it as taking away CD's that might have fallen into the wrong hands.

When feelings go, theres suicide.

I think they realize how many discs they send out, hence the self jab commercial with the people making wall art from all their discs. That's bad when you have to make fun of yourself and that it's totally true.

when in doubt...don't whip it out!
