Time Warner Cable Mailed Me a Boner Joke at My Expense
"Pitching Tents LLC"?! Really? You make a fake company for me and you gotta make it perverted?? Disgusting.
I hate junk mail as much as anyone else...possibly more. I rarely read what's inside, and generally chuck them out without much thought. However, something caught my eye today when I got a letter from Time Warner Cable Business Class. Right in the address window of the envelope, below my name, and above my home address read "Pitching Tents LLC".
Now, I've started a few companies in the past, and I do know how to...*erm* erect a tent. You know, for camping...seriously. But I CERTAINLY have never owned a company having anything to do with "tent pitching". Maybe I should feel flattered Time Warner thinks I own a business solely dedicated to this act. They didn't even have to ADD a fake company to the address. It's not like it wouldn't have made it to my mailbox if they left the line out.
My guess is someone at TWC thought this was funny and figured no one actually reads the junk mail they send us. Perhaps he or she isn't aware the general population ACTUALLY knows what it means to pitch a tent. Good job, Time Warner Cable marketing, for finally graduating to the sixth grade. Ironic this is coming from a business dedicated to helping companies market themselves and...grow.
But now that I have this piece of junk mail treasure, where do I go from here? There's so much I want to know! Am I the only one that Time Warner thinks is employed at "Pitching Tents LLC"? Are there others? Are there other people out there with fake companies added to their TWC junk mail like, "Morning Wood Inc," "Chub Corp"or "Stiffy Ltd"? Would switching to Time Warner Cable Business Class actually save me money? The whirlwind of questions is head throbbing.
My hope is that Time Warner Cable did this intentionally to spice up my mailbox. Perhaps they did this as a little tip-of-the-hat for all the years of annoying piles of crap that they send me. If so, thank you, Time Warner, well done. I appreciate this. It's what every girl dreams of receiving in the mail. A boner joke made at my expense. Very thoughtful indeed. Might have to frame this one.
