Why did I get a soft-core porn magazine in my mailbox?
I'm not on any questionable mailing lists, and I've never ordered pornography online. It's not that I'm complaining, but it was just weird. It's called "Stuff Magazine" and it has a spread of all the the popular, no-talent, 18-25 year old starlets in skimpy outfits. There's nothing with the mag that says it's a trial issue, it looks like I have a free subscription. Am I getting snail-mail spammed or what?

1. About a month ago.....
I received 2 Stuff's and another similar rag. They were address to the previous owner.

I was scratching my head over it too.

There was a really good article about some famous bank robber who was from Pennsylvania in one of them though. I forget his name.

2. Weird. Here's hoping they aren't sending these out to all men everywhere
Don't need my hubby flipping through one of those. He'll start asking me again why I don't look like I did in high school any more. :eyes:

10. Guess not. *g* I told him to skew his likes toward
meatier women, seeing as how I have had two kids and a lifetime of too much junk food.

13. I asked my wife that once
She told me that she'd get back into her high school figure when I got back into mine. The conversation pretty much ended there ;)

3. Hey, I've gotten the same thing...
2 days in a row last week, 2 different issues.

Stupid magazine: half-naked women, cars, video game ads, etc.

The only magazine I ever read (unless I'm horribly bored) is Archaeology.

5. I used to get stuff.
It's more of a gadget magazine with some hot models. A spinoff from "Maxim." I thought it was hilarious. Plus I like hot models.

9. Just take a Sharpie marker and write on the package --
"Please forward to Rick Santorum, United States Senate, Washington, DC"

14. Quite lucky, but as the poster above mentioned
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 03:45 PM by tridim
It's a good thing I'm single or there'd be questions.

Edit: In leafing through it a second time it's really not that bad, since I'm a gadget freak. At least that's what I'll tell any future girlfriends. :)

15. Sometimes they give away random magazines, it's odd
When I was in high school, my mother and the mothers of several of my friends started recieving "YM," a teen girl's magazine with clothes and makeup and boy tips. We have no idea why they were giving away free subscriptions, and why they were addressed to middle-aged women.
