Junk faxes REALLY piss some people off
Posted by drocolate on July 30th, 2010This morning I was standing near the fax machine at the ITE? offices when a junk fax came through. This is what it looked like:
Yeah.
I could do an entire post about the AMAZING design of this thing. The font orgy and the complete lack of a company name are perfect fodder for a nice little blog entry.
But no, that’s not what this post is about. This post goes further.
You see, as I examined this incredible fax, I noticed that the only contact information on it was the fax number, (516) 213-3447. I became curious about that number so I googled it and found a message board devoted to the number and all the junk faxes that have been coming from it.
As it turns out, some people are furious about these junk faxes. And one guy, who goes by the name “Mr. Get Even,” is beyond furious. Here’s his entry on the board (presented without editing for increased comedic effect):
“Look no one will ever help us, we call the phone company’s who w***e’s us out they do nothing; so screw it. Here are the plan folks, give the information to the solicitor to get them to come out and meet you. When they show up mace them down take a bat and give them a few whacks. And make them reach in their pocket and pay you for your time. Then mace and hit them some more, oh don’t forget to copy their ID and address so you can get them again at their home if needed.
Now why they are laying there on the ground call the police to arrest them for attempted home invasion. And why you are waiting whacks them again and gives them another shot of mace in the face just in case they did not get the message, and tell them to bring the message back to the others.
Pricks like those people have NO RESPECT FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY so you should have none for them. See if you can get the address on who they hired to send the faxes, we will all rent a buss so we can go kick there a** as a group effort. CAN YOU HEAR US NOW MR. GOV WHO we PAY TAXES TO PROTECT US FROM JERKS, STOP THEM OR WE WILL. THEN WE should stop PAYING, NO PHONE BILL MONTH where we pay no phone bills for 2 months or longer until the phone company agrees to police the services they charge us for. If they are the landlord of the phone lines and we rent the phone lines then they need to provide some level of privacy and peace. Also no vote for me recordings from political folks what the heck is up with that bull crap. Good Luck All!
Ps: the method worked for me in the past so I am going to do it again, I will let you know how it turns out.”
Whoa.
So Mr. Get Even wants to mace down and take a bat to the evil faxers. Then he wants to get some money from them “for his time.” Then he wants to do a lot of other crazy shit.
Yeah.
Dude needs to take it easy. It’s just a junk fax.
I hope this story brightens your afternoon as much as it has brightened mine. TGIF, guys!

Holy crap. That guy needs to enroll in a Mel Gibson Anger Management Seminar. Me… I used to report their numbers to the FCC.

BTW, way to turn lemons into lemonade with faxes. Next up spam…?
JOhn
John, you’re so right about the Mel Gibson thing.
And as for spam, we’ve actually gone down that road in the past:

Horribly produced mass-messages (whether they’re junk faxes, spam or junkmail) are just so awesomely bad.
