Nevermind. It’s a hoax, but it’s still awesome.

Update 6/20/08: This is actually a brilliant marketing tactic by Cardo Systems (a French cellphone company) – they created and released these urban-legendy videos on YouTube.
I recently started screwing-around with Papilio Temporary Tattoo paper. Making my own transfer tattoos with a desktop printer.
The first tattoo experiment: making a “Petunia” dancing girl tattoo, from The Adventures of Pete & Pete.
And Yes. I am fascinated with this 90’s Nickelodeon TV show.
MMM….French fry coated bacon on a stick!

Frustrated with all the unsolicited junk mail you receive? DearBulkMailer.com has come up with a great way to exact revenge on the very people that spam you. Or, put in other words: seeing as how you receive all this unsolicited junk mail every month from spammers, isn’t it s only fair that they should receive something unsolicited from you?
In 4 easy steps:
| 1) Get the “No Postage Necessary” envelope out of the junk mail |
|
| 2) Put a brick (or anything) in a box. |
|
| 3) Tape the “No Postage Necessary” envelope neatly to the box. |
|
| 4) Put it into those blue mail boxes, the parcel dump at the post office, or in your mail box. |
|
This only works with “No Postage Necessary When Mailed In the US” envelopes, and the kicker is this: when using these prepaid envelopes, the company that receives the piece of mail has to pay approximately 20 cents per ounce on what is delivered to them. This is no problem with a normal letter, but when you tape the no postage necessary envelope to a box containing an 8 pound brick, the junk mailer winds up having to pay $25, with all of the proceeds going to the US Postal Service.
Take that, junk mail!
