Direct Marketing Association = terrorist org.

and don't forget it. The DMA is up there with al Queda. It boggles my mind that the DMA is allowed to exist in this country. Child pornography causes less damage and is less offensive than direct marketing (euphamism for directly bothering people incessantly to buy crap that nobody wants, needs, or even desires). If kiddie porn is not protected by free speech (which it is not) then direct marketing should not be, either. I'm not even talking about spam, which of course is not protected by free speech. I mean using telemarketers, door-to-door sales, snail-mail, and sticking fliers on my front door. Buy a billboard, buy a TV commercial (and don't complain when i skip it with Tivo), or buy a newspaper/magazine ad. If you're not willing to do those things, hope your product sells by word of mouth. If it is good and useful, it most likely will. If it's a piece of shit, it doesn't deserve to sell a single unit. In the meantime, the direct marketing association terrorists continue to flock to our mailboxes and front doors, and continue to terrorize us via the phone while we're eating dinner. They should all be nuked.
