WTF why is the sound sped up? lol, I gotta fix that

I LOVE YOU!!!!!

lol, free trash removal

Brilliant! Brilliant I say!

Neat idea.

Brilliant!

http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=junk_the_junk Among other places

My life may never be the same.

Yay!

Lots of people just send it back...but the tearing it up and sending it back is good. I'll send them back porn or something lol.

Yeah. Uh. Maddox.

Idiot, don't claim other people's ideas for your own

What I do, is take some wheat paste and stick those envelopes on bricks....it ends up costing em wayyy more...

How am I claiming others' work as my own?

I lol'd. I can already tell this will get up and coming. Also, I thought the sped up sound was hilarious...

We've all noticed the abundant predominance of sh*tty slideshow YTMNDs, this is what I do when I vote on one.

baron all your sites suck

ingenious

HAHAHAH F*CKERS

So old its unbelievable. I did that like 2years ago, but with a bit of spit out sandwich

Im soooo doing that.

i'm doing it

f*ggy short film also stolen from maddox

Well, that got downvoted to hell. Oh well, it was fun.

Stolen from Maddox

add small rocks

+1

Better yet I hear you can attach them to a box and fill it with up to 30 pounds of sh*t... PASS THE WORD!

stolen from maddox? are you f*cking retarded? maddox says people have been doing it for years on his own website, how the f*ck did you come to a conclusion that maddox invented this? Burn in a fire

also coc........ OMFG ITS MAX

lol, max. ...also, rocks.

Saw it on maddox years ago. All that will do will make them stop paying for the postage. And take legal action against you with the support of the corrupt US government.

OMG someone came up with the same idea as somone else, he couldn't possibly have come up with it himself he must have STOLE IT from someone popular! OMG BURN HIM!1!!11eleven!

This isn't exactly what maddox had in his article, but it's fairly close. In any case, it could've been a coincidence, so 4 stars.

I honestly don't know what maddox is, or where I might find him/her/it.

"And take legal action against you with the support of the corrupt US government." Yeah they probably could take action, but how would they know that you did it, I mean thousands of those letters are sent out at a time.

Because the little paper scraps have my name and address on them. ... *sigh* downvoters.

BRILLANT! (even though I already do that)

Old idea, but it definately needs to be popularized.

Thank you for answer my question +2 for that. lol.

Thank you fetusdoctor, that sums up exactly what I was thinking when I made this.

Putting goatse in their also works.

Upkateer2LT, you're allllright in my book.

"Old idea, but it definately needs to be popularized." Agreed +2 more

dude f*ck yeh

Eh, I mail them advertisements from other companies. You know, less tracing it back to me.

5 for small "Also c*cks"

haha

thats what i do when ever i get one lol

add small c*cks

my grandpa has been doing this for years

Make sure it doesn't have a customer tracking barcode# on the envelope. just sayin'.

Yeah too bad this was Maddox's idea, or you'd be onto something

MAN TEH HARPOONS!!!

My name and address are on the scraps of paper. If they want me, they know where to find me.

^ sorry, that was for mikeyfapper

who cares if it's old, spread the word

i send the card companies the coupons i get, and the coupon companies the card offers i get...i hope they like em...

http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=junk_the_junk

1'd for stealing from maddox.

I little more work than I'm willing to put into it. But I may do it once or twice.

i'm going to do that will all my bills

What can they take legal action for? Sending them mail?

1'd for f*ggy powerpoint slide show. I don't care what you do with your junk mail.

Old...taping the front of teh envlope works, too. W1n anyway.

I WISH I got solicitations from Discover. Instead, they come from other meh companies. :(

stealing from the best page in the universe is like stealing from god himself.

Oops, I meant "tape the front of the envelope to a BRICK". Lollage.

i have done that b4 its funny sometimes i just put some tp and smear chocolate u never get mail from them again

also c*cks = auto5

I have to give this a 1 for dis-information. If you mail back those envelopes you are guaranteed to get more junk mail. When they are returned the companies that process them knows they got a response and will sell your name to more businesses.

This is what you need to do to reduce jumk mail. "To reduce unwanted junk mail, send your name, address and telephone number, including area code, to: MAIL PREFERENCE SERVICE ATTN: DEPT: 10245470 DIRECT MARKETING ASSOCIATION P.O. BOX 282 CARMEL NY 10512 or visit www.junkbusters.com."

Source (scroll to the bottom): http://kutv.com/consumer/local_story_157143203.html

What? Like they've just verified that yours is a valid address? Dude, it's not email, they don't just send sh*t to every possible combination of numbers and letters. They ALREADY KNOW someone lives there. Stupid ass. Next time just one me without the asinine comment, okay?

WIN

What exactly can they take legal action you for? And, why would they bother?

Even though I already read this on Maddox's site like years ago, at least you made the effort of making an animated instruction...

BECAUSE MADDOX HAS NEVER SUGGESTED ANYTHING SIMILAR THIS BEFORE.

Also, how is this "dis-information"? If EVERYONE sent them back torn-up trash, they would stop sending these offers out.

Hope you know half the people on this site arn't old enough to get credit card offers... Great idea though! I would 5 but you had Randy Newman so -1

I, like Votey, have never before heard of Maddox. Ever.

haha, that's clever. i just throw mine through the 'ol shredder; but even if everyone did that, it wouldn't be doing much. postage is a small price to pay in exchange for the money they collect from interest fees/debts imposed on clients who are unable to make payments.

The idea is old, but every day thousands of innocent n00bs are born. Why should we not fill them in on our wisdom and internets lore? Maddox did it, Maddox did it.

I do this periodically, but instead of ripping things up, I draw pictures on it. For example, for a visa spam, I wrote "no thank you. but here is a picture of a snake." I then proceeded to draw a snake.

Roar-was-taken, that made me laugh... hard

good idea, but i think it would be a better idea to use the business reply to mail a package over 75 lb. to slam them with a hefty shipping charge.

^ Dude, YTMND ROCKS IT is the best thing ever.

Alll Right!

Stolen from Maddox, But I can see you put effort in it, so i'm giving it 3 stars.

No, they verify that this person responds to junk email and that means they will send more. Years ago I responded to a marketing research team soliciting me. I agreed. Even though I quit that five years ago I still get many phone calls and junk mail from people wanting me to join them.

I am responding to comments on my site. That makes me a homosexual. I am now homosexual.

MADDOX F*CKING SUCKS, please stop talking about his page people

You have just told everyone how to get more junk mail. This is not a hard concept you understand. Responce = more solicitation. Just becuase you're a teenager doesn't mean you know everything. You are wrong on this. This site is as full of mis-information. Trust me. If you have any descency (which you clearly don't due to your name calling), you'll delete it or change it to the address I gave you.

You, sir, deserve attention on this YTMND for the greatness of kicking coporatewh0re @ss!

5'd just for all the Maddox fanboys who don't know what a coincidence is.

5 to counter downvoting.

hank, honestly, we're just here to have fun, okay? This isn't wikipedia. I have been doing this for years, and I get the same amount of offers as I always have. Regarding selling my name/address when they get a response: how did they get my name in the 1st place, was it sold to them? by whom? someone I repsonded to earlier? By your logic it would have to be traceable to an initial response. Whay wasn't my name sold to all possible buyers at that time?

Good idea. I'm going to do that.

ive done it, but ur name and address is all over some of those papers.

OMG LAWLZ YOU STOLE THE IDEA FROM MADDOX!!!!11

I love it!

this is like fight club homework status.

rhinofeeder, that's weird, because I told a co-worker that I'd never seen fight club, so he told me that I have to see it or else I might be kicked out of the male gender (then what would I do?), and ever since, he's been asking me if I've seen it yet. So it's like he's asking me for "fight club homework status".

As long as you're all here, check out my other sites and let me know if any of them are stolen from maddox, too. Thanks so much!

GRAND RAPIDS 4 LIFE!! :D

BRILLIANT!

fantastic

exelent idea.... also c*cks

When I saw this the first thing I thought was "he's going to fill the envelope with his own hair." Saving hair from haircuts and sending it to these folks would be funnier.

5'd because people suck

allll right

HOLY SH*T, YES! I've heard similar ways of expressing one's disdain towards the junk mailers, but this one just takes the cake. And it gave the cake to me. I shall eat it, now.

Also bash

well maddox does say at the end of the article "spread the word" ...and this guy did.

Here's another interesting little trick. Take a preapproved credit application, tear it up, tape it back together, scribble out your address and put in someone else's, and fill out the app. They will recieve a credit card in your name. Identity theft is just that easy!

agriculture was "discovered" independently seven times throughout history, yet this particular idea MUST have been stolen from somewhere else on the internet.

F*CK YOU I DO THIS LOL!!!, TRY ROCKS IN THE ENVELOPE THOUGH I FIND ITS MORE SATISFING

http://bash.org/?127039 You fail even more then usual theft for claiming it as your own idea.

put pennys in it, so that they have to pay due to wheight(sp?) then when they tell you about it demand your change back

Some people are flat-out retarded. He obviously hasn't heard of Maddox (phht, I don't even know). And he didn't "claim" it was his. He just said, "here's what I do." Besides, this joke has been going on since junk mail started. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Slideshow.

His idea is a little different than Maddox's.. who just stuffed in pizza hut coupons and other junk mail. There was also a guy that mailed the credit card company a huge tire that he put in a box with the reply envelope taped on. This idea has been around forever, even before that bash.org entry, but it doesn't mean it's unfunny. -1 for Randy Newman.

THATS FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!!!

I always thought that maddox had something to do with football. Besides, how can they sue you for doing this? You'd think that what they're doing to you would be more wrong than what you're doing back.

I write stuff on reply mail like "F*ckin gonna kill whitey" and send it back. So far no FBI.

Holy sh*t people are stupid. "OMG you stolezors from maddox! I wanna give maddox buttsecks, how could you?!?!!" ..... *ssh*l*es.

I tend to use those little cupons you get once a month for this. Some poor bastard in a mailroom somewhere gets to sift out my 50 cent off cupons for KY Jelly and afrosheen.

I do this as well. If you get more than one in a day, mix them up and send Visa the Discover trash and vice versa.

older than Maddox's great-grandfather, also putting the card with the "trash" is probably not the best of ideas...

Allll RIGHT!

this wasnt your idea, seen it before

Grand Rapids > Maddox. THE BELTLINE FTW!!!

lol, owning the man

I like maddox's idea of sending them other junk mail even better, still good though.

stolen from maddox, maddox is a f*g, and so are you

Maddox did it!

haha got a friend who does the same thing, but he shreds it into confetti... :)

Stolen from maddox.

Eh I've heard of it before. bash.org, etc etc

You are raising government expenditures when yo do this, you are not sticking it to the man, you're raising your own taxes.

HAHAHAH i will end up doing this too all spam

LOL i love this idea.

lol this is downvoted by maddox...lol idk who that is either...

5'd because if you count this is plagarism (claiming others work as your own) then you're an idiot for not thinking of this anyway. I usually draw them pictures of stuff and send it back.

As I read the comments I see the typical dumbasses on YTMND. 1) Maddox said to send them coupons so that you would not get sued, you are sending them something worthwhile. 2)If you just deny ever recieving an app you're fine, they can't prove that the letter wasn't mis-delivered. How are you people so stupid?

Also, you're not raising your taxes or wasting government expenditures. The credit company pays the postage, the government sets that postage price. They set the price to a point that they make a profit. You're actually raising income to the United States via the postal service.

IT'S A TRAP!

heh.

Old idea but still great.

Votey, you rock for telling off all the asshat downvoters

All right!

older then dirt.

Way to pretty much steal this from Maddox.

I don't honestly know why people constantly upvote this site, when it's a clear copyright violation from Maddox. And if you don't know who he is, I suggest you look him up, sir.

lol, newman.

Wow. I'm doing this now.

:D NICE

Thats a pretty good idea. I dont know why i never thought if that before.

Yes, because Maddox invented this. Are you people retarded? Do you honestly think Maddox was the ORIGINAL mastermind behind this idea?

tl; dw

I do this too.

lol I do that anyway!

"As long as you're all here, check out my other sites and let me know if any of them are stolen from maddox, too. Thanks so much!" Awesome. I had actually seen that on Maddox's site but completely forgot about it. Whatever, it's still a cool idea.

5'd for also c*cks

I like it.

i already knew what this is about before your 2nd paragraph.

lol good one

I wish there was a way to do this with junk email. Or any email in particular. And by the way, Maddox blows.

f*ck maddox

+2 for newman, +2 for 'carefully open" (when its all torn up and sh*t lol) and +1 for also c*cks. im def gonna start doing this lol

My girlfriend stuck the return thing on a box of bricks and mailed it back to the company, it costed them $70... you should try it, its 100% legal

BRILLIANT!!!!

you say GR 4 lyfe!? GHOST RECON!? {GHOST}_RCHAOS1 PWNS JOO

Add other trash too. Being that it's free trash removal, add some more to it.

You don't know who Maddox is? You suck.

I send them a different application. Wait until you get 2 and swap them over so they get the wrong one. But I will try ripping now.

Wow, whats the collective IQ of these downvoters? I bet it's in the double digits. Thank you for the idea. I'm going to do that if I ever get a chance... except I'll probably take out anything they could use to identify me and maybe put in an extra surprise for them ;)

Cool

ill be making my first YTMND to show the best way to avoid credit offers. ill have it up later. Something none of you so far have found out evidently. Lol, secrets

smart man

Maddox's idea was to send them coupons, downvoters suck =/

Seriously, Maddox. By the way everyone, I'm not a downvoter.

I knew about this before, but, hey, its a good idea and a good ytmnd to inform people who don't know.

Yeah, even if you didn't intentionally rip off Maddox, his is still a MUCH better idea. Box full of crap > tiny envelope full of paper. But still, 3 for effort and making others aware! Also, WTFBBQ YOU DON'T KNOW WHO MADDOX IS?!?

Known for years, srsly. 3 for calling it intrawebz 'intertron'

remove 'it' from previous comment. also fork

Putting stupid coupons or ripped up shreds is lame. What you do is tape the return envelope to a box full of crap (tires, boots, rocks) and as long as it's under 50 lbs. they'll have to pay for it, ha ha.

It's better if you throw in fifteen pennies and demand your money back later.

yeah you can actually return up to 72lbs of crap with that business reply envelope. just tape it to a box with a tire in it.

lol

*woot* Grand Rapids! I'm in Muskegon, buttsecks?

I never get credit card offers. :(

I think I saw Andy Rooney pitch this on idea on 60 minutes many moons ago. Not insinuating any ripoff, just a comment. I also like how he weighed the mixed nuts that said they were "less than 50% peanuts" to find they were 49% peanuts. Hail the Eyebrows of Andy Rooney!

I love "The Roon." I should make a tribute site to how boss he is.

You can send up to 75lbs. packadges using that buisness reply stuff. Send them rocks and garbage.

More like get a cardboard box, fill it with stones and then tape the letter on it.

Totally ripped off maddox.

win

maddox ripoff

i wish i get that kinda junk mail in holland >.>

Maddox's got you beat

that's pretty much every song randy newman ever made isnt it :) also add some pennies in there

5d for great idea, also c*cks

Ha, great idea. And Maddox did popularize this on the internet bigger than most, but he admits he's not the first. Votey never said, "The ALL new way by ME," plus, Maddox sent pizza adds not the letter back in pieces.

It's a good idea, but this won't stop the companies from following up those junk mails with phone calls.

^ No, the National Do Not Call Registry does that for me.

bash.org has a better version of this involving 33 cents.

Maddox. I would downvote this if I wasn't morally against downvoting, so have no stars.

FREE TRASH REMOVAL COURTESY OF THE MAN. ALL RIGHT!!!

ROFLWAFFLES

GENIOUS!

[Quote/ Maddox]They can't do anything about it because this is simply your way of telling them you're not interested, and giving them valuable coupons that could save them a lot of money, SO SPREAD THE WORD: JUNK THE JUNK.[end quote] Maddox didn't come up with the idea, and he wants people to spread the word, so stop downvoting.

Ehh, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. At least it'll piss someone off. =D

stolen from maddox, but still funny. 4.

Clever !

my brother does that already

ROFL.

1 for using maddox's idea. 2 for introducing the idea to more people.

I've done that before. It really does cut down the number of applications on it. Also write rude and obscene things like questioning the sexuality and make innundos about their affinity for barnyard animals. (also c*cks)

I don't have time to read. Stop with the movies.

^ Should I take site-making advice from a NARV?

5 to counter maddox fanboy f*ggots (not that there's anything wrong with maddox, but more than one person can have the same idea)

not extremely clever but I guess I kinda smiled.

OLD NEWS. I don't give a sh*t if you don't know who Maddox is, but the bottom point is that he already came up with this idea. So yea, kill yourself.

no he didn't

I saw this on some website, the guy cut up sheet metal and sent it to them, it weighed like 10 lbs and they stopped sending him stuff.

Film Threat (when it was still a magazine) had the best "Return Postage" War ever. They had some beef against Premier Magazine... They told thier readers to go to the magazine stand and get some of those Return Postage Subscription postcards that fall out when you open them. Then Tape together a few phonebooks or something else really heavy, and glue the Pre Paid postage card to it. Premiere Magazine had to pay all the postage on this heavy junk being sent to them...

5 for ALLLL RIGHT!

brilliant

I fill then full of white powder

It's like Paris Hilton trying to trademark "That's Hot". Votey is just spreadin the word. Did Maddox copyright his idea? No! Could anyone with some creativity come up with this idea? Yes! 5'd for spreadin the word...just like Maddox said to do!

1. Its not that hard to put it in the garbage if you don't like it 2. It's called being a business and earning money, they don't do it to annoy you 3. It won't stop them from sending you mail, just might not have return envelopes anymore.

Note to the retarted community of downvoters: I didn't know this; since Votey posted this now I do. This means one more person doing this. Please STFU and get back to sucking c*cks.

http://www.burststudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=979

GoThx

this was 90% ripped off maddox...

I used to send them pictures I cut out of Hustler magazines.

i've been doing that for a while now.

I'm going to shred it first and then send it back so it looks like I took the time.

free trash removal FTW

"Some people have known this for years, and since a fair amount of people will read this I feel that it's my duty and obligation to share this secret with you" Not ripped from Maddox, he didn't make it up himself, kthx.

Very clever.

maddox did it. and better too

Jackofspades, this isn't going to stop anyone from getting junk mail. It's just going to waste your time. It's like hanging up on a telemarketer. It maybe fun, but it doesn't stop the calls. If you want to stop the telemarketers and junk mail then you have to submit your name to the opt-out list I posted.

you dont know who maddox is? impossible

the also alone earns this a 5.
