Junk Mail by Fortune Monkey
June 10th, 2006 12:26 AM
Read through all your junk mail for three days. This includes real world junk mail and email. Keep track of what each piece of junk mail is trying to sell you. After three days, make a list of all the products and services that you were offered and why you were offered them.

well to be honest this is going to be rather depressing. I don't really get any mail...junk or not...
So in an attempt to make it more interesting I saved my mail for 10 days instead of 3. YES 10 WHOLE DAYS! whoot!
So I let it collect in my entry way and once it was starting to bother me I picked it up. There's a picture of it.
So here's what I got over the last 10 days:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real mail:
2 menus for take out sushi (I must look hungry)
1 add for knee braces for old people (Im the only young person in the country who doesnt wear heals everywhere...so something MUST be wrong with my knees)
1 take out pizza menu (I must still look hungry)
1 add for something healthy you drink...I dunno its green...defiantly not tea...lettuce? bleck! (I must look hungry and unhealthy)
looks like an add/sign up form for preschool (I must look stupid or VERY young)
2 adds to buy/rent an apartment (My apartment must be a dump)
1 mystery application with a happy kangaroo on it (Hmmmm.....)
1 small brochure for household appliances; washing machines, stoves, etc... (My place must look like a dump AND I must look dirty)
1 add with COUPON for the 5th anniversary of some salon (My hiar must look scary)
LASTLY is this month junk mail news letter "Den Gon" - This month its mostly skin treatment clinics, liposuction, exercise, hair salons, auto paint jobs, sushi, miracle weight loss treatments, assorted foods, movies, and homeless dogs and cats. but mostly its skin treatments :) there are also lots of short written adds, like the classifieds, but I’m illiterate. doh. (Oh man. I guess im fat, hungry, got bad skin and in need of a small furry friend)
E-mail:
Apple store newsletter/add - I get this twice usually. Once in English and once in Japanese (Im bilingual? hahahha good one. They must know my computer is more than 6months old and thus a dinousaur)
Cranium newsletter/add (I asked for this...teehee)
Isthmus promotions newsletter/add (Man Isthmus rules!)
(Usually I also get some trash from WAYN and Friendster, but its my own fault for accidentally giving them my e-mail ages ago...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah so what does this say? It proves the junk mail ppl are conspiring together!!! I mean seriously first pizza and sushi adds then skin care and fat adds....coincident? I think not.
