Fuck. The physical spammers won. Seattle lost their bid to stop the "yellow pages" litter at a cost of $781,503.
Anyone who's tried to use https://www.yellowpagesoptout.com/ knows that it doesn't really work, you still get this crap thrown into your front yard, and it'd be really nice if we could treat these litterers like every other litterer, but, no, you have to share personal information with the vandals to get them to throw less shit into your yard.
Fuckers.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
