May I let my voice be a clarion call. I will use these words for justice. I will use these words for truth. And humour.

[Edit after initially sending and Cc'ing to this blog:

I sent this in such a fashion because upon trying to unsubscribe myself, I found I was unable, as they didn't have my name or email address on record. Um, obviously, they did, if they sent it. I also sent it because you may have had similar experiences with other corporations/spammers, and might want to know that I am in commiseration with you.

Further, I received this immediate reply:

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: Gmail tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 <vikings@bankofamerica.com>... User unknown. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. Thanks for your continued support. (state 14)

I'd LOL if it weren't so annoying.

Comments:
I recommend getting the card, then buy a few things with it (pack of gum, can of chew, maybe a magazine). After paying your balance, then close the card. That way, you've now established a business relationship and they can no longer spam you. Right? I mean, it won't be spam anymore?

What have you got against the Vikings anyway?
