I've tried about seven or eight times over the last several months to unsubscribe, and always those fucking errors, and the spam continues. Worse yet, it's CONTENT-RICH spam, with flash crap and HTML doodads and the whole nine.

But today... today, they really crossed a fucking line. I am not believing this, but they MAILED ME THE FUCKING CAL RIPKEN COCA-COLA VIDEO. Yes, that's right, the TV ad where the aging Cal Ripken gets all misty-eyed fantasizing about playing again until his teenage daughter shakes him out of it and leads him back out of the park.

IN MY EMAIL.

And with a link at the bottom to SEND THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS!!!11, no less...!

I suppose this means the only possible way to get my name off their list is to soak up a couple hours of time finding telephone numbers, burning long distance money, and fighting my way through clueless minions who actually answer their phones.
