fuck off Orkut

If you do not wish to receive emails from orkut, click on the link below:

http://www.orkut.com/Unsubscribe.aspx?id=544Y3MIB6E

You can also contact us at:
2711 Centerville Road, Wilmington, DE 19808.

So

  1. They don't provide an e-mail unsubscribe system
  2. That link needs Javascript to work. I don't do Javascript
  3. There's no way that I'm spending money on postage. Heck, that address isn't even valid here. (Wake up guys, I'm in "them". Damn you, The Onion, for not having that story linkable)

So as far as I can tell, Orkut will continue to spam me forever. Or at least until everyone I know installs SPF.

Thanks for finding and sharing that link. It's a shame that The Onion doesn't have it any more, as the original had some excellent illustrations too.
