Stream of consciousness marketing gone bad...

When I got home from work today I saw an envelope from Direct TV waiting for me.

The return address was El Segundo, California. This reminded me of a visit I once made to Escondido, California (I can't believe we found it, but anyway...) to see friends of my parents. Their kids and I spent the whole day playing football in the driveway...we had a great time.

Years later one of the kids I played with got an appointment to the Naval Academy and he did quite well there until some of his classmates apparently conspired to get him brought up on charges and he was dismissed from the academy.

Angrily, I threw the envelope in the trash. How dare Direct TV do this?
