An open letter to Levi’s Workshops

I hope you rot in CAN-SPAM hell.

At least you included an unsubscribe link this time (but no physical address).

I never signed up for your stupid list, and have been trying to unsubscribe for WEEKS, including calling your customer service phone number, where the woman who answered swore up and down I would be removed — two weeks ago.

May your power be cut off on the coldest day of winter, just before a long weekend. May your dog run away. I hope your boyfriend dumps you, your mom calls you and tells you she’s embarrassed by your behaviour, the barista gets your order wrong, the waiter serves your food stale and cold and your boss fires your stupid, good-for-nothing law-violating ass.

All before noon.

USPS attempts internet customer service, fails miserably

I found a broken link on USPS.com and reported it:

If you go to “Web Tools Technical Guides”:
http://www.usps.com/webtools/technical.htm

And click on “Address Information (HTML)”:
http://www.usps.com/webtools/Address-Information-v3-1.htm

You get a “page not found” (404) error.

File or Page Requested Not Found

The file or page that you requested could not be found. The link you
followed may be broken or expired.
Please return to our Homepage, or use the search box above to find

Use a word or phrase that you think may be found on the page you are
looking for.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Please fix this.

thanks.

I got this reply back — a form letter for somebody trying to set up an account:

Breitbart attempts to manufacture another race controversy

Noted scumbag Andrew Breitbart is stirring the pot again. He posted an article, “Obama: Republicans Counting On Blacks Staying Home,” where he placed a selectively edited video Obama’s Philadelphia speech. Breitbart only shows this much:

They’re counting on young people staying home and union members staying home and black folks staying home.

But what did Obama say? This:

See, what the other side is counting on, what they’re counting on is you’re going to stay home. They’re counting on your silence. They’re counting on your amnesia. They’re counting on your apathy. They’re counting on young people staying home and union members staying home and black folks staying home and middle-class families staying home. They’re counting on the fact that they made the argument so ugly in Washington that you just completely turned off and you’re not going to vote for anybody. And if that happens, they win.
