In some situations, this sort of thing isn't just creepy - it's incredibly fucked up.
My mother gave birth a while ago, and sadly, the child only lived for two months. But for months after his death, we received a LOT of coupons - "20% off diapers for your bundle of joy," etc. It was a sensitive time, and checking the mail often led to tears. After reading this article, thinking back - Target ads. I specifically remember giant, full-paged ads for nothing but baby items from Target.
edit for type, it's =/= isn't
- philwelch 15y agoJust wait until an adult dies. You get tons of mail in their name. Some of it even tries to sell them life insurance.
- froo 15y agoYeah, I've had this more or less happen to me. A telemarketer from the bank I used to be with called me on the day of my brother's funeral to try and sell me life insurance. Terribly bad timing as at the time I was waiting for the car to pick my mother and myself up to lay him to rest. I'd like to say I handled it well, but I didn't. I vaguely recall some hefty swearing on my part the next day as I closed my account with them.
