The ad was for "Disney's Wonderful World of Reading" which is evidently operated by Scholastic (publishing???). The ad included the following message, obfuscated from spam-filtering programs by being in the form of an image:
Some of these "permission-based mailers" are not operating legitimately ... yet legitimate businesses continue to patronize them. Isn't it time to tell the legitimate companies just STOP IT!
If you are a recipient of such advertising, and you can ascertain that a legitimate advertiser is involved (don't be confused... those offers of gift cards from Target or other retailers are rarely ads by the retailer), make it a point to contact the company headquarters, get to the executive offices, and CHEW THEM OUT!
If enough of us do this, they will get the message and we will stop seeing legitimate businesses continue to support spam.
ANY LEGITIMATE BUSINESS THAT SUPPORTS SPAM IS CLUELESS ... LET THEM KNOW IT!
