OK.......... SO, I would like to personally talk to whoever at The Courier-Journal decided to put the post-it note ads on the front page, usually covering the headlines....and the person whose clever idea it was to glue the magnet ad to the front of new phone books (this magnet only comes off with 1/2 of the front cover of the phone book with it.....) I have NEVER called a # on a magnet. The only magnet on my fridge says ... "Bed and Breakfast....you make both"

Marketing with clever humor catches my attention like this http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2057603072/tt1190689

P.S. I think Mr. Swan's web service sounds lucrative.

I don't think you're overreacting at all. I came home just the other day and had a choice: run over the phone book sitting in my driveway or stop to pick it up. I thought to myself, why don't you do me a favor, save me the hassle, and put it directly in my recycling bin instead of on the drive.

For me, the irritation is the blatant waste. A plastic bag, (probably) a crap pen, a notepad – all going in the trash and for what? Not only is this tactic invasive, but it makes the recipient part of the trail of waste. All for nothing. I would rather get five E-mails a day from Cash Express than one of these trinket bags.

In my mind this tactic is equal to littering and the should be treated as such.
