Just a few minutes ago, I was reading an article in the Detroit Free Press about a spammer named Alan Ralsky that’s getting upset because people are sending him unsolicited advertisements. It was a follow-up to an article that the writer did on a previous article which detailed his operation, $750,000 house, and business practices. Both articles were quite interesting, if a little infuriating. ( Original Article | Follow-up )
The follow up is just a blurb on a page full of other blurbs — one of which is about Photojournalist David McCreery who is trying to determine if there is a Santa Claus using FedEx. Basically, McCreery FedExed a letter to Santa a the North Pole, and is using the FedEx tracking capability to see how far it gets. You can check out the letter’s progress here.
I think it’s been delivered to some place in Colorado… who knew that’s where the north pole is. Interesting concept anyway.
The North Pole is In Canada darn it! In the Western Canada district even! And Santa Claus’ address is:
Santa Claus
The North Pole
HOH OHO
Canada
He sent me HAND WRITTEN letters about half the time that I wrote to him when I was a child.
