Ridiculous.
I ate a butterfinger bar multiple months ago which had some marketing promotion for "Rocketcash" where you register and input a special code found on the wrapper and see if you've won a prize (or at least get points towards some sort of prize—that you can maybe collect one day if you ingest enough chocolate to kill an elephant). Curiosity got the best of me and I signed up against my common sense.
Needless to say I made sure to de-select whatever "Yes, please send me the newsletter!" box (which is always conveniently pre-selected for you). Naturally I was still put on the mailing list despite my selection. I HAVE TRIED TO UNSUBSCRIBE AT LEAST THREE TIMES (but more likely 4 or 5 at this point) BUT THEY CONTINUE TO SEND ME EMAILS WHICH IS ILLEGAL AND ANNOYING.
At least I know that most marketing executives will enjoy a long slow burning afterlife in hell, that'll make me feel better about the whole thing.
