| Brilliant! | ||||||
| http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=junk_the_junk
Among other places | ||||||
| My life may never be the same. | ||||||
| Yay! | ||||||
| Lots of people just send it back...but the tearing it up and sending it back is good. I'll send them back porn or something lol. | ||||||
| Yeah. Uh. Maddox. | ||||||
| Idiot, don't claim other people's ideas for your own | ||||||
| What I do, is take some wheat paste and stick those envelopes on bricks....it ends up costing em wayyy more... | ||||||
| How am I claiming others' work as my own? | ||||||
| I lol'd. I can already tell this will get up and coming. Also, I thought the sped up sound was hilarious... | ||||||
| We've all noticed the abundant predominance of sh*tty slideshow YTMNDs, this is what I do when I vote on one. | ||||||
| baron all your sites suck | ||||||
| ingenious
| ||||||
| HAHAHAH F*CKERS | ||||||
| So old its unbelievable. I did that like 2years ago, but with a bit of spit out sandwich | ||||||
| Im soooo doing that. | ||||||
| i'm doing it
| ||||||
| f*ggy short film also stolen from maddox | ||||||
| Well, that got downvoted to hell. Oh well, it was fun. | ||||||
| Stolen from Maddox | ||||||
| add small rocks |
+1 | |||||
| Better yet I hear you can attach them to a box and fill it with up to 30 pounds of sh*t... PASS THE WORD! | ||||||
| stolen from maddox? are you f*cking retarded? maddox says people have been doing it for years on his own website, how the f*ck did you come to a conclusion that maddox invented this? Burn in a fire | ||||||
| also coc........ OMFG ITS MAX | ||||||
| lol, max. ...also, rocks. | ||||||
| Saw it on maddox years ago. All that will do will make them stop paying for the postage. And take legal action against you with the support of the corrupt US government. | ||||||
| OMG someone came up with the same idea as somone else, he couldn't possibly have come up with it himself he must have STOLE IT from someone popular! OMG BURN HIM!1!!11eleven! | ||||||
| This isn't exactly what maddox had in his article, but it's fairly close. In any case, it could've been a coincidence, so 4 stars. | ||||||
| I honestly don't know what maddox is, or where I might find him/her/it. | ||||||
| "And take legal action against you with the support of the
corrupt US government." Yeah they probably could take action, but how would they know that you did it, I mean thousands of those letters are sent out at a time. | ||||||
| Because the little paper scraps have my name and address on them.
... *sigh* downvoters. | ||||||
| BRILLANT! (even though I already do that) | ||||||
| Old idea, but it definately needs to be popularized. | ||||||
| Thank you for answer my question +2 for that. lol. | ||||||
| Thank you fetusdoctor, that sums up exactly what I was thinking when I made this. | ||||||
| Putting goatse in their also works. | ||||||
| Upkateer2LT, you're allllright in my book. | ||||||
| "Old idea, but it definately needs to be popularized." Agreed +2 more | ||||||
| dude f*ck yeh | ||||||
| Eh, I mail them advertisements from other companies. You know, less tracing it back to me. | ||||||
| 5 for small "Also c*cks" | ||||||
| haha | ||||||
| thats what i do when ever i get one lol | ||||||
| add small c*cks | ||||||
| my grandpa has been doing this for years | ||||||
| Make sure it doesn't have a customer tracking barcode# on the envelope. just sayin'. | ||||||
| Yeah too bad this was Maddox's idea, or you'd be onto something | ||||||
| MAN TEH HARPOONS!!! | ||||||
| My name and address are on the scraps of paper. If they want me, they know where to find me. | ||||||
| ^ sorry, that was for mikeyfapper | ||||||
| who cares if it's old, spread the word | ||||||
| i send the card companies the coupons i get, and the coupon companies the card offers i get...i hope they like em... | ||||||
| http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=junk_the_junk | ||||||
| 1'd for stealing from maddox. | ||||||
| I little more work than I'm willing to put into it. But I may do it once or twice. | ||||||
| i'm going to do that will all my bills | ||||||
| What can they take legal action for? Sending them mail? | ||||||
| 1'd for f*ggy powerpoint slide show. I don't care what you do with your junk mail. | ||||||
| Old...taping the front of teh envlope works, too. W1n anyway. | ||||||
| I WISH I got solicitations from Discover. Instead, they come from other meh companies. :( | ||||||
| stealing from the best page in the universe is like stealing from god himself. | ||||||
| Oops, I meant "tape the front of the envelope to a BRICK". Lollage. | ||||||
| i have done that b4 its funny sometimes i just put some tp and smear chocolate u never get mail from them again | ||||||
| also c*cks = auto5 | ||||||
| I have to give this a 1 for dis-information. If you mail back those envelopes you are guaranteed to get more junk mail. When they are returned the companies that process them knows they got a response and will sell your name to more businesses. | ||||||
| This is what you need to do to reduce jumk mail. "To reduce unwanted junk mail, send your name, address and telephone number, including area code, to: MAIL PREFERENCE SERVICE ATTN: DEPT: 10245470
DIRECT MARKETING ASSOCIATION P.O. BOX 282 CARMEL NY 10512 or visit
www.junkbusters.com." | ||||||

| What? Like they've just verified that yours is a valid address? Dude, it's not email, they don't just send sh*t to every possible combination of numbers and letters. They ALREADY KNOW someone lives there. Stupid ass. Next time just one me without the asinine comment, okay? | ||||||
| WIN | ||||||
| What exactly can they take legal action you for? And, why would they bother? | ||||||
| Even though I already read this on Maddox's site like years ago, at least you made the effort of making an animated instruction... | ||||||
| BECAUSE MADDOX HAS NEVER SUGGESTED ANYTHING SIMILAR THIS BEFORE. | ||||||
| Also, how is this "dis-information"? If EVERYONE sent them back torn-up trash, they would stop sending these offers out. | ||||||
| Hope you know half the people on this site arn't old enough to get credit card offers...
Great idea though! I would 5 but you had Randy Newman so -1 | ||||||
| I, like Votey, have never before heard of Maddox. Ever. | ||||||
| haha, that's clever. i just throw mine through the 'ol shredder; but even if everyone did that, it wouldn't be doing much. postage is a small price to pay in exchange for the money they collect from interest fees/debts imposed on clients who are unable to make payments. | ||||||
| The idea is old, but every day thousands of innocent n00bs are born. Why should we not fill them in on our wisdom and internets lore? Maddox did it, Maddox did it. | ||||||
| I do this periodically, but instead of ripping things up, I draw pictures on it. For example, for a visa spam, I wrote "no thank you. but here is a picture of a snake." I then proceeded to draw a snake. | ||||||
| Roar-was-taken, that made me laugh... hard | ||||||
| good idea, but i think it would be a better idea to use the business reply to mail a package over 75 lb. to slam them with a hefty shipping charge. | ||||||
| ^ Dude, YTMND ROCKS IT is the best thing ever. | ||||||
| Alll Right! | ||||||
| Stolen from Maddox, But I can see you put effort in it, so i'm giving it 3 stars. | ||||||
| No, they verify that this person responds to junk email and that means they will send more. Years ago I responded to a marketing research team soliciting me. I agreed. Even though I quit that five years ago I still get many phone calls and junk mail from people wanting me to join them. | ||||||
| I am responding to comments on my site. That makes me a homosexual. I am now homosexual. | ||||||
| MADDOX F*CKING SUCKS, please stop talking about his page people | ||||||
| You have just told everyone how to get more junk mail. This is not a hard concept you understand. Responce = more solicitation. Just becuase you're a teenager doesn't mean you know everything. You are wrong on this. This site is as full of mis-information. Trust me. If you have any descency (which you clearly don't due to your name calling), you'll delete it or change it to the address I gave you. | ||||||
| You, sir, deserve attention on this YTMND for the greatness of kicking coporatewh0re @ss! | ||||||
| 5'd just for all the Maddox fanboys who don't know what a coincidence is. | ||||||
| 5 to counter downvoting. | ||||||
| hank, honestly, we're just here to have fun, okay? This isn't wikipedia. I have been doing this for years, and I get the same amount of offers as I always have. Regarding selling my name/address when they get a response: how did they get my name in the 1st place, was it sold to them? by whom? someone I repsonded to earlier? By your logic it would have to be traceable to an initial response. Whay wasn't my name sold to all possible buyers at that time? | ||||||
| Good idea. I'm going to do that. | ||||||
| ive done it, but ur name and address is all over some of those papers. | ||||||
| OMG LAWLZ YOU STOLE THE IDEA FROM MADDOX!!!!11 | ||||||
| I love it! | ||||||
| this is like fight club homework status. | ||||||
| rhinofeeder, that's weird, because I told a co-worker that I'd never seen fight club, so he told me that I have to see it or else I might be kicked out of the male gender (then what would I do?), and ever since, he's been asking me if I've seen it yet. So it's like he's asking me for "fight club homework status". | ||||||
| |||||||
| As long as you're all here, check out my other sites and let me know if any of them are stolen from maddox, too. Thanks so much! | ||||||
| GRAND RAPIDS 4 LIFE!! :D | ||||||
| BRILLIANT! | ||||||
| fantastic | ||||||
| exelent idea.... also c*cks | ||||||
| When I saw this the first thing I thought was "he's going to fill the envelope with his own hair." Saving hair from haircuts and sending it to these folks would be funnier. | ||||||
| 5'd because people suck | ||||||
| allll right | ||||||
| HOLY SH*T, YES! I've heard similar ways of expressing one's disdain towards the junk mailers, but this one just takes the cake. And it gave the cake to me. I shall eat it, now. | ||||||
| Also bash | ||||||
| well maddox does say at the end of the article "spread the word" ...and this guy did. | ||||||
| Here's another interesting little trick. Take a preapproved credit application, tear it up, tape it back together, scribble out your address and put in someone else's, and fill out the app. They will recieve a credit card in your name. Identity theft is just that easy! | ||||||
| agriculture was "discovered" independently seven times throughout history, yet this particular idea MUST have been stolen from somewhere else on the i | |||||
