The agony of trying to unsubscribe | James Veitch
It happens to all of us: you unsubscribe from an unwanted marketing email, and a few days later another message from the same company pops up in your inbox. Comedian James Veitch turned this frustration into whimsy when a local supermarket refused to take no for an answer. Hijinks ensued.

Don't fight the frustration. Fall over and die.
this guy clearly watches TOO MUCH Woody Allen
legend says, their still emailing
SOLOMON, YOUR EMAIL INTRIGUES ME
I have a tried and true method of unsubscribing. Newegg was the worst offender. In the end, after more than a dozen emails that were ignored. I sent another one stating I was going to send horse genitalia images to all the nuns houses in the city emblazoned with Newegg marketing material. Got my first reply from Newegg within an hour apologising for past service and I was now off the lists.
This method has worked twice more since then.
Good on you, James.
I got a call from a spammer while watching this XD
Always a nice distraction from my daily stresses

Develop a computer program that would send a reply to spammers and it would fry their computers….you'd be the richest man on planet earth.
