Badly targeted mailing list

I got something today from the Scoety of the Divine Word.
I think they wanted to sell me a rosary with a picture of either some saint or Pope JP2.
I'm not really sure, because it's written IN POLISH!

(Let's see - I know who we should send this to - a Pagan who doesn't speak Polish.)

Seriously, man. They are based in a nearby suburb - Did they just go through the Chicago phone book and pick out Polish-sounding names?

That's more focused than some mailings I've received!

Heh. I've got a subscription to 'Hispanic' magazine, because I'm so obviously of that origin.

Hey, at least they didn't send it to Posslq this time! :-)

They just wanted you to feel included. ::giggle::

Gotta love (read: hate) direct mail advertising. :-)

I do vastly prefer it to telemarketers or dork-to-door.
