I have been getting 1 thing in the mail every day for a week, offering the wierdest things.

Today was buy Camel Lights and it had $1 off 1 Pack coupons.

Yesterday was to buy ocean property.

I have been sorting the mail and finding it, and trashing it after taking my name of the mailers list, but I can only think that my information has been sold.

Other than get a new address, is their anything I could do?

No I mean like UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE MAIL.

This sucks 100X more than getting some stupid email and deleting it!

I like getting mail too, but not junk mail. Luckily, I haven't been bombarded yet. I hope it never happens.

I got the Mach 3 gift set or whatever from Gillette when I turned 18, basically if they have you in their database (rented a tux in the past couple years?) they will send you the set. I also got a quattro (sucks balls but feels cool) a couple weeks ago...but I had filled out a little form to request it.

cool... i only got the Gilette Sensor for free, that was the top of the line when I turned 18. But, before the Sensor came out, did Gilette just mail cheap disposables or did they have something similar?
