Naturally, I'm Pissed About It
I got an e-mail invitation to a party recently.* 10% of the invite was text, 40% was white space, and 50% was a giant advertisement for 3 Musketeers.
People! If we can't invite our friends to a party without shilling for a big corporation, well, we're already fucked. Consider finding an alternate way--it's really not that hard.
And yes I realize any e-mail you send is already an endorsement for whatever e-mail service you use, and often comes with banner ads anyway, but why add to the madness if it's not absolutely necessary?
*It was a work e-mail, so I'm not actually blasting any of my real friends here.
