It seems that once companies have had their Indian call centres try to sell you cheap travel packages, filled your email inbox with "exciting offers", plastered branding on billboards/sides of buses and train station, filled most of your TV/radio with weirdos screaming at you, and even try putting subliminal messages on the actual products you buy, filling your letterbox with 0.3kg of junk mail each week hardly seems dramatic.

However, one thing that junk mail has over the others is that the advertising is in some physical form which you now own (unless a lawyer wishes to prove me wrong).  Now here's the problem - what do you do with all this junk mail?
Or perhaps, what would you like to do with it?  Have a car which runs by burning junk mail?

I'm gay.

Hah. Excellent.

Sheets of lead.  Or black holes.   cR@Zy!NgLi$h can't find any sheets of black holes on ebay.

Too much bother.
I'm sure bread will poop in one and mail it back.

They'll have to compensate for the weight and the mailman.

I always wanted to send a weighted packed back to junk mailers so they have to pay surcharge.
