Seriously, why is spam illegal and so bad that you can go to jail for it?

Direct Mail is the real crime!

We checked out mail today and it would have had a kilo of junk mail in there.

Here's why DM sucks soo badly

1. Direct mail wastes precious natural resources (paper, manufacturing, energy), on the otherhand, Spam is just a bunch of zeros and ones in a server somewhere.

2. Junk mail creates soooo much paper/trash waste for councils/landfill/garbagetrucks, spam makes none of this.

3. Collecting mail can now be very frustrating and we have to sort it out which takes time and thought. You can also miss REAL legitimate mail, or dont get a letter in time cause it is burried in junk. Just like spam, but without the spamfilters! (Lightbulb... new business idea.)


We're not hippies or anti marketing or anything, just damn frustrated and even angry at the crap these brands expect us to put up with.

I wouldn't tolerate direct email if it was email spam, would you?
